Sometimes an unreliable/poorly built/all-around-bad car can be easier to live with if the price is low enough–or can be had for free.

But is there a car that’s so terrible that you wouldn’t take, even if someone paid you to take it?

I would let someone pay me to take a Medallion provided it's a manual transmission. From what I recall it's one of the NG series gearboxes, so somewhat desirable in the Lotus Europa crowds.

As much as I want one I just don't have the patience anymore to deal with a Mitsubishi 3000gt vr4 or dodge stealth RT. Just looking under the hood makes my eyes twitch.

Not because the car is terrible.  Just the thought of having to work on one.

most 1/2 finished project cars.  In  my experience; most project cars cost more to finish than they are worth finished.

I was gonna say Biturbo but that's a lie. I'd totally take a Biturbo.

There are several but top of the list is any early 2000s GM sedans; between the fact that I don't like them and their infamous body control module issues you couldn't pay me enough.
