Bosco;

Your question brings back lots of school car memories, some good, some not so good.
At the time we had three kids in the drive to school age group so we started with the used Dodge "K" cars. The hundred dollar class of K's were sometimes a good one sometimes not, we had half a dozen out in the trees that usually had cracked the head. It wasn't the cost of them so much as always having to rescue a kid with a broken down car a hundred miles away at a college parking lot.
At the time you could buy a somewhat barebones Ranger pickups for about 4,500.
That turned out much better except a college kid with a pickup is a very popular guy, everybody wants to borrow it to move something and nobody puts any gas in it.
They did take pretty good care of them, the oldest daughter kept hers after college till it had like 180K.
I don't know if this helps but one of our kids recently bought a year old Impala fleet car with 30K miles from the Chevy dealer with a new warranty, and about 10K$ off new list.

Frank.
