The plastic buckle-mount cover fell off in mine in the first few weeks of owning it. I got lazy and never did anything about it. Bought a new one eventually, but you need some sort of crazy giant torx end or something to bolt it on. The plastic trim on my seatbelt came off... the plastic bottom side of the seat... SO many squeaks and rattles... BUT, the thing is now 10.5 years old and has over 144k on it and still going! And in a beater, it's the engine that counts, right? =) Not to mention that the exterior still looks pretty good, if I'd ever give the poor thing a bath.
