Caddies and Lincolns both drop like rocks on resale and are nice cars. They eat alot of gas though. Camerys and Diamantes are good choices. But what about Volvos, Escorts, Audis (keep AWD), Mazda Millenia and 626's, Nissan Maxima/ Altima.

Finding the right car is more going to be about finding one that has been well taken care of rather than what kind of car it is.

Sometimes if you can find someones old project car you can get some cool stuff. My roomate in collage bought a 73 Jag XJ L. It was the limo rear seat version. Fresh motor/trans, straight body in grey primer, box with all the chrome redone. The interior was pretty shot. We hat to sand and relaminate the dash and pull some seat out from the yard. It was pimp, ran sweet, and was $3-3500. The guy just got tired of it taking up his garage space.

Just get something cheap that sounds good.&nbsp; Personally Id prolly just get a na 1g or 2g.
He said above that he wants somehing roomy to go on double dates with. And what do you mean by sounds good?

You should roll in a Cadillac. Fo-shizzle-manizzle [/b][/quote]
Sounds good as in the ad... like milage exterior, interior.... Hmm I didnt see the roomy part, sorry.

Then Id have to say prolly a nice 80s to early 90s benz for cruising. 300SEL long body (3.0 v6) or 560 SEC for a roomy 2 door. With a 5.6 V8...

I really don't know what vehicle to compare an Elantra to, maybe somebody can help me out with that out :bounce:
They're not the most spacious but they could easily be much more compact.

I have the roomyest (sp) car you will ever find. A 79 cadillac deville. The 425 ci carburated engine gets great MPG ;) . I am selling mine. I am the second owner as of this summer. One owner since 79 until she died. Then it was mine.
