Well i'm putting around with a fairmont as we speak since i'm trying to pay off college and toolbox/tool payments. $400 for this car although i haven't had any serious problems with it yet.

Anyway, worst car i ever owned was my '84 5.0L LX. That car was nonstop crap. It had 140,000 miles on it when i bought it and i paid way too much for it - i'm ashamed to say how much. The floor was cracked front to back on driver's side, the charging system had cracked regulator wires and broke down the first 5 times i drove it and there's a retarded choke system on those cars which i ended up replacing the carburetor anyway since the carburetor and choke system didn't operate correctly. The interior was smelly and i ended up using parts from my wrecked '91 LX 2.3L to make it a little more respectable. At 145,000 miles the timing chain stretched too far and it stopped running, so i fixed that as well. It was my first 5.0L and i had lots of fun with it, but it was the biggest pile i've ever owned.
