tires vs winter beater

Anyone else decided its cheaper to buy a winter beater than winter tires?

At 1000$ for the tires plus another 500-1000 for rims it seems to make sense to me to just garage the car for the winter and avoid having it rot after a couple years.

I figure 2000$ for a beater in quebec should last me a couple winters "low ks just use it to get to work".

After watching my first new car "jeep tj 05" slowly deteriorate after 4 years I just dont know if I cant watch my baby be sacrificed to the salt gods.
Sure its a pain to have a winter car but in 8 years the Cali will still look new.

Anyone else come to this same conclusion?
Or am I the only willing to let my car sit for the winter?
