Shopping for a beater/daily driver. Which is best for guns?

[IMaDad]

I am looking for a new-to-me beater/daily driver. probably something in the $4-7k range. 4 doors, maybe one of those sedan-hatch-wagon things (for subwoofers).

I am wondering if there is a car with rear floor compartments that hold an ar15 well. maybe a car with good door panels for holsters/mag carriers.

If you have something like that in your car, will you share some pictures?

looking for something about like this....

Thanks

You could put a custom floor compartment like that in a lot of cars but the one pictured doesn't look cheap. Some companies make gun storage that fits well under the rear seat in a pickup truck. If your looking for something custom you probably should just find the car that works best for you and the. Figure out where to hide the guns

My recollection is that there is a OCGA for hidden compartments in motor vehicles. Worth searching. If it's not found, fine, but if it is, then...

I could do something custom. I am looking for a storage compartment that already exists, so that I can customize the contents, closure/locks.

hide in plain sight. In the back of one of my suv I keep 2 bags of rubber mulch, one with the mulch and the other with an M1 carbine with folding stock intermingled with the mulch. While anything can be stolen I am pretty sure mulch is not high on most perps list.
