I wouldn't call a 2018 150,000 miles anything a beater unless It has no pain and a tree limb for a back windshield.
Beaters are not nice cars that grew old
Beaters are not 30k cars and now you make 200k and see a 2020 Camry as a beater
Beaters are cars you see on the street and laugh out loud at the look and sounds. Beaters are cars you wouldn't allow your teen to drive for safety and family perception concerns. Beaters are cars you hide and ask your friend for his whip when your first date asks for a ride. Beaters have multiple colors, physical damage, something is busted features wise (bonus points for AC/heat), no hub caps, a longer than it should be on there doughnut tire, ect. Beaters are what people who hit rock bottom and show up to cousin Eddie's used car lots with 2k cash and ask for whatever runs.

ITT people don't know what a beater is. Think of it as a disposable tool. Even if it’s totaled or fails completely no substantial monetary value is lost.
