This is by far the most beat-up car I've ever seen on BaT. It typically is a mix of driver-quality stuff and low-mile survivors. This is neither - this is a beater.

Holy crap, it went for 4550. That's all the money for that car. Makes the red one from last week for $6K seem like an insane bargain.
