Need a cheap DD, budget of $1500, I can wrench a little but would prefer to not have to right out of the gate, Chicago area, what do you suggest?

That price should get you a rusty but well-running/driving crown vic or other panther platform. Comfortable, reliable, and cheap (including parts).

Final one cause I love S70s, but of course it’ll take a bit more coin to keep running than the other two:

I'm surprised how many decent looking vehicles for 1500$ there are in Chicago.

The focus has three. HUNDRED. thousand miles. That’s gotta be a record, and damn it looks clean.

Yep, a little scary, but I figure anything you buy at this price point is going to have some serious flaws, so I’m not sure it’s really a bigger risk than anything else.

2006-2010 Hyundai Accent? I’ve had not one single issue with mine other than a starter going once...and that was because the ground cable on the starter rusted off from all the salt they use here in Nova Scotia.

(2006-2010 or so Kia Rios are fine too because they are the exact same underpinnings as the Accent)

I know, ‘cheap Korean shitbox’, but they are not as bad as people make them out to be!

Move to a place where cheap cars do not rust.
