If you shop around online, you can usually find one of those Turkish or Chinese 870 Knockoffs for around a $100 bucks or so.
Or wait till Wallmart or Academy puts their Remington 870 express models on sale for $199.

My beater truck gun is a clean old model Ithaca 37 made in the 50's that I picked up cheap at a Gunshow for $175 bucks because it had a 30" barrel with a full choke. I think my local gunsmith charged me $30 bucks to chop it down to a 20" barrel with a new bead.
