Beater Car wanted in D/FW

I find myself in a position that I can either spend more $$ on my Formula or buy a second, fuel efficient, reliable vehicle and since the more $$ I spend on the Fbod, the more I end up underneath it, the logical choice for a student needing to get from A to B is another car.

Reliablility, price and fuel efficiency are my requirements. I don't need 40 mpg, just 20+/- would satisfy my needs. I am looking to spend $1500 or so, 2000 and up, I'd rather just save my money and put up w/ the Formula.

Vehicle type, at this price point I cant be too picky but thus far my preferences have been in cherokee sized SUVs. But I'd like a clean car with A/C (at least factory equipped, I'd consider a nonworking A/C car for the right price)

I'm doing quite a bit of looking, but if your uncle's cousin's brother's father in law is selling his 87 Cherokee, I'd appreciate a heads up
