I'm starting a new job and I will have a 100km/day round trip commute to and from the office. I'd like to pick up a cheap semi-disposable commuter car since my gas-guzzling SUV isn't the best choice given the cost of gas these days.
Under $2k. Sedan or station wagon. Cheap on gas. nearly anything goes.
seems hard to beat a mid 90's tercel or something along those lines. Any other suggestions?
Camry
Ha Ha! Made you look.
I had a mid 90s tercel and don't see how you could beat that
tercel, civic, corolla, etc
hell for $2500 you could even get yourself an acura integra or el.
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Or maybe lease a TL.

A mk3 diesel Rabbit will give ya 60mpg
'98 or newer Corolla

So do they deliver the broken diggers to you on flatbeds now or something?
Toyota's seem to hold value around here so I decided I'm going to pick up a shitbox tercel or camry, drive it for a while then slap a Free Tibet sticker on the back and sell it to some hippie for a profit

my buddy drove his into a big boulder and the boulder broke.

You're buying a 2000 dollar car, it's deprecation curve has already flat lined, and it's 2000 dollars so who gives a shit about that. How about worrying about buying something economical, reliable, and comfy.
sometimes I think you must be dumber than you appear on the internet.
