'82 300D vs '98 Buick LeSabre for roadtrip

I'm going on a 2,000 mile trip and have to pick a car. My girlfriend wants me to take my brothers Buick(Reliable/comfortable). My Dad/Brother want me to take the 300D. Mom wants me to buy a dealership Tahoe and take that.

5 new GP's
5 new heat shields(&cleaned injector faces)
Freshly adjusted valves
4 Snows that still have treads
Pushbutton ignition&glow circuit, pop the hood for shutdown.
Leak in exhaust and vibration at highway speeds
22-28mpg


Buick:
32K total
Fresh dino oil change
new-ish all seasons
CEL blinks(don't know why, &rough idle-will be installing new plugs tomorrow)
Smooth, quiet ride
22-32mpg

What would you do?
