During exams my university would drag an old car into the middle of the campus, and students were allowed to beat it to a pulp for $5. They'd give you a bat and you could just smash it to pieces.
10/10, would smash again.
$5 is so little though.
I remember used cars being like $500 before the pandemic. Pretty sure the cost of used cars tripled by then.
When I was on the fire department (late 2000s) we bought cars for like $75 each to practice disassembling, I assume from the junkyard. I bet the price hasn't changed too much.
