I've daily driven older cars to work before. MGBs, older mercedes, lots of different stuff. I tend to trade project cars a lot. I feel confident that I could keep one running. The engine issues that the 3.5 can suffer from is what kinda worries me. We are moving to Spain in 3 years, so I'd probably only put 70k miles or so on it before either selling it or dropping it with family until we return.
