We loved the Colt and Champ from '81 > '87 along with a '92 Eagle Summit sedan ( bought new ) . Could find them used for $125 > $700 . Would do tune ups , brake work , and oil changes . Had someone replace a clutch on several for under $400 . They would usually last for a few years or more . Really liked an '82 2 door Champ with a 1.6 ltr. engine and twin stick which was 4 speed manual with a another lever for Power / Economy mode . The Power mode lowered the gear ratio for climbing hills. Helped going through deep snow coupled with studded snows . Miss those days of cheap cars that were easy to fix up .
