Default Recommendations for a "new" beater?

Any of you folks have a good tip for me regarding a "new" beater?
My 1994 Olds 88 LSS finally bit the dust last week, and I need to
get another beater so I won't have to drive my Stang in the rain, or to the beach,
and of course in the snow next winter [:'(].
I'm willing to spend between $3 - 5K for something in excellent condition (and
naturally a one-owner car, preferably owned by a senior).

Any good tips ???

Hey, don't knock it- that's how my parents found my house for me five years ago (got a great deal from the surviving family who just wanted to dump it a.s.a.p.!).

If only I had a 2 car garage I'd buy a Bullitt and keep this Stang as "The World's Most Beautiful Beater", but alas...

1995 Oldsmobile cutlass, I just sold mine for like 4 grand, it was gold with tinted windows. The thing is old people love those cars, so when they kick the bucket, it becomes the kids problem...
