still gets beat by the elegy

I'm looking to buy a used car, max of 14k hopefully less though. Sedan or a small SUV, looking for a reliable vehicle that's nice to be in and drive. But I have a bunch that I'm looking at hopefully I can get some quick opinions on what I should outright avoid and what I should look more into. Thanks in advance.
>2010 Buick Lacross CXL - 87k miles - $10k
>2009 Lincoln MKZ - 74k - $9.5k
>2011 BMW 328i xDrive - 92k - $13.25k
>2007 Lexus ES 350 - 56k - $12.3k
>2008 Acura MDX - 123k - $12k
>2010 Acura TL SH-AWD - 108k - $12.7k

If you want reliable the first three need to be stricken from your list.

The last two are glorified hondas, while reliable, are really no better than nicely spec'd Honda Crv for the MDX, or Accord for the Tl.

R32 GTR or a 2011 CTS-V Coupe for a DD?

God damn the shitters are hyperactive tonight.

Barra straight 6.

Makes less power with a turbo than aLS can make naturally aspirated.
Heavy as fuck.
Long as fuck.
Tiny, useless displacement.
Lol turbo lag to get modern power.

The Porsche Flat 6 is right behind it.

no, its a differerent car with a different bodystyle. It just looks very similar to a 240z. When I mean square headlights, I mean truly a square.

>>17616393
The one in the OPs pic is definitely a 260z. I can tell by the rear end and the 240z badge on the trunk lid.

>>17615655
That paint is lovely. Wish my car was that color

That body style is one of my favorites. I like the Firebird Formula duel hood scoops better, though.

Hello, anon. I own a Bronco and daily it. I love my truck, and I'm not a truck guy. I will admit a large portion of that is related to it being a family heirloom of sorts.

A couple things: People will comment on it. As you can see, my truck isn't in fantastic shape (an on-going restoration, really) but I get comments frequently enough "Hey, nice truck! Gotta love Broncos!" or occasionally, "Hey, OJ!" This may have a lot to do with living in the south, though.

Gas mileage: I've got the 302 with 4-speed Automatic Overdrive transmission. I frequently floor it when getting on the highway or passing. It's slow. I also get about 11mpg. If I drove a bit more conservatively, that would improve a bit but you will not see anything higher than mid-teens at best.

Common issues: After 130k miles or so, the rear main seal will likely leak. You'll also probably have some assorted gasket leaks. Mine was a valve cover gasket. Good news is, these trucks are pretty easy to work on. Bad news is, they're old, so there's going to be rust and crud and shit everywhere.

Driving-wise: I can hop curbs like nobody's goddamn business, which still hasn't gotten old. Truck stopped in the middle of where you want to go with no room? Hop that curb. No fucks given. Parts availability is off the wall, since almost the entirety of the truck is F-150.

tl;dr: I like driving my truck, and I'm not a truck guy at all. 11mpg is no fucking joke, though.

Does he hate German cars or is it just Mercedes?

>>17615265
He thinks bmw is stupid for removing dipsticks (they are, coming from a fanboi) but nearly all of his hate is reserved for mercedes

How many miles do you think I could get this car up to if it was maintained well?
