The real deals are on Craigslist if you are handy. Do a search filtered for 4wd vehicles, starting with the cheapest. Once you scroll past the dummies that list their price as $1-$30, you'll start getting the cars people are just trying to get rid of. Read the descriptions, you can tell a lot from reading between the lines. inevitably you'll find something that needs a deep clean and new brakes for cheap. I bought my son's 1999 jeep cherokee with 160k miles for 1200. We put brakes, some new front end parts on it, etc and tires. It would sell for 5k now.
