    Even about 25 years ago, $1000 would get you a car without major cosmetic damage but it'd have a couple hundred thousand miles on it. You can still get that for around $3k today. I see them on craigslist right now. Where I live, minimum wage has increased 2.5x since then.

    There's your beater for roughly the same number of minimum wage hours worked.
