SAAB... they are babies at 50,000 and well nutured adults at 150,000... my mom bought one and then gave it to my sister... she took it from 35,000 miles to 187,000 with minor repairs... unless you try your hardest to beat the shit out of them 200,000 miles+ is easily possible...
Heres a link for a 94 900se hatch for $2,115 (buy it now)... just a bit over 2000 but its not hard to find an older one

Plus swedish safety is the best... when you buy a newer car they show you pictures of people who hit telephone poles at 75 mph and walk away from the crash with a few bumps and bruises... people who roll their car down embankments 4 times and have a broken arm or something minor compared to the fact they should have died... that kind of shit
