Dad in search of new car...

My Dad's feeling pretty good, and is already talking about a new car. He's got a pretty funny list so far. Here's kinda how it breaks down:

Option #1. Take ins. $ and kick in some (or quite a bit in some cases) dough and buy something:
*Subaru Forester Turbo (new)
*Subaru WRX Sti (new)
*Subaru WRX (new or 2002/3 used)
*Mercedes E430 (2001 or so)
*Mercedes C43 (99)
*Mercedes C280 (2000)

Option #2 Take ins. money and buy something for the same price:
*Replace 1998 C230
*2002 Subaru Forester or Outback Ltd.

Option #3. Take ins $, pocket a bunch (like $10K), buy:
*98-99 Subaru Forester or Outback Ltd.
*94-95 Mercedes E320/E420

He's still got his 1990 190E 2.6 to drive until he makes up his mind, so no rush. Such a pickle.

Notice that he only considers Subaru or Mercedes. Goes for over-constructed tank-like cars.
