MISSION: Find me a winter beater.

I'd like to find a winter beater and why not tap into everyone's searching skills here. Here's the criteria: European, manual transmission (unless it's a really good deal/nice car that has an auto) front or 4 wheel drive preferred and the cheaper the better, LOL! I don't want to take too much away from the 16V winter parts buying binge. My zip is 19947. If you find anything and want to make a road trip to help me pick it up, I'm up for that too... so It's got to at least make it home.

Found this one - good source for a parts swap when winter is over.... thinking of a Cabby G60

Yeah with 17" summer tires. The 2.6 was my beater... $2100 for the Corrado, as sweet at that would be, would blow my budget.
