I bought a Geo Metro near VA beach last February. I drove a $200 Toyota
Tercel down that was burning a ton of oil with well over 300,000 miles
on it, sold it for $200, and drove the Geo home the same day... haha.

Cars down there hold up well, as long as they aren't too near the salty
ocean. Not nearly as cheap as they are up here, however.
