I vote Buick! Especially if it has the 3800 in it...that was an incredible motor. Low 30's MPG, plenty of power, and a smoooooth chassis.


I don't want to talk you out of a MB, just realize that most of the rubber parts (engine, trans, diff, subframe, etc.) are going to need replacing soon. Depending on where the car is from, rusty fuel/ brake lines, etc. If you have a reliable DD and want to learn wrenching on a 3rd car, then go for it. parts will be a bit higher-but you get what you pay for.
