1980 VW Rabbit: Paid $1,800, gave it to the manager of the motel where I stayed when I was stranded with a bad tranny

1980 Nissan B210 - Paid $1,000 and gave it away. My favorite car of the 4 above

1987 Toyota Mini Van - Bought new, driven over 170,000 and donated it to charity

1992 Mitsubishi Expo - Bought new, driven 170,000 miles and on the donation block

1999 Nissan Quest - bought new, wife's van, runs great!

1977 Mercedes 300D - bought from my dad, PO, my daily driver.

Funny when you put this kind of lists together how many cars I can add up. My philosophy on cars, either buy a good one and drive it til it drops, or "buy a bic lighter", buy a cheap car, use it up and throw it away.
