If you want a great beater get a '96 Buick Park Avenue. I beat the hell out of that thing consistently almost everyday for 2 years straight, put it in the ditch multiple times (it landed on it's side one time), went off-roading with it, you name it and the only repair I had to do was replace the oil pan that I had demolished from jumping some railroad tracks hehe. Surprisingly it was amazing in the winter too, easily 10x better than my GTP. I put in the ditch several times snow drifting lol and everytime it managed to drive out on it's own even in pretty deep snow. Great car, plus it's got a 3800 Series 2 in it
