My first car was an '85 Honda Accord with a whole lotta miles.  I want to say I paid $500 or so.  Great first car.  Stick shift, ran like a champ.

I bought a 79 Cutlass in 1994 for $75. Used it to drive to work for that summer. It died the week after my last day that summer. Perfect. (I mean, it died if you didn't goose the throttle while stopped, had a cloud of black smoke when you accelerated, was missing the inner door handles meaning you had to roll down the window to get out, and the electrical would occasionally go out for a minute or two. But other than that - perfect.)

93 Ford Taurus aka "The Bull" as my friends called it. It had a crap ton of miles and the struts were so shot that if you hit a good sized pothole it felt like you were on a rollercoaster for the next mile! Needless to say it was about as far from a chick magnet as possible!
