Find a decent 123. I don't think you can go much wrong with one in good shape. Try to find one that has been maintained by dealer with all records, of course.
BMW:The Ultimate Repair Machine. Near the end of his lease, friend was spending more in shop charges each month than lease payments. Then his car and his wife's (both had BMW), both had transmission failures. They had to park one. Even with their high salaries (both made big $$$) they could not afford to fix both in one month. I think he drives a Toyota now.
