Ls430 if you want a fancier car than a Panther.
>>15216885
1UZ-FE is life.
>>15216885
Or VIP it up.
>>15216885
W-body if you want something better than an panther, but fwd.

Just bought a '98, what should i look out for?
>>15217362
Spark plugs exploding and intake coolant crossover leakage
that's one hell of a barge in my euroshit country
>>15216885
>>15217382
And fuck this stupid phone for taking upside down pictures
>>15217362
i haven't really had anything break on it, it's only had an electrical glitch with the EATC, which was fixed with a reset. only thing's i've had to do to mine are maintenance related.
only things to look out for are catalytic converters and coils
>>15217357
i want one so fucking bad
>>15217382
>Euroshit country
>Australia
pick one.
>>15217355
>implying any impala is better than a panther
>>15217351
I liked the idea until I saw this picture, guy in the car ruined a good car pic
OP hath summoned the LS fags

>faster
>better handling

>same platform as Pontiac Grand Prix so lots of aftermarket support
>just as comfy and reliable
>glorious 3800 V6
The only weak spot is the transmission... and noise cuz the 3800's always sound like shit.
>>15217451
>just as comfy
>just as reliable

>implying speed matters in a land barge

Have fun changing the rear spark plugs
Honda accords are getting heavier and more luxurious.
>>15217504
lol
>>15217493
Not has hard as some people make it out to be.
>>15216885
Love bench seat cars
>60 degree V6
Guess what gasket will fail and cost 4 figures or several days to fix
>>15217320
Honestly, best generation right there.
The final generation just wasn't as good.
>>15217472
>implying an impala is even a land barge
It was classified as a full size car.
>>15217355
as someone who has driven both of these, you are completely wrong.
>>15217593
same
i had the opportunity to buy both, i went with the marquis for a reason.
>>15217552
the newer ones just look so boring, and the power delivery isn't as smooth either.
>>15217442
that's... that's JUST a cutout?!?!?!?!
>>15217381
u wot
>>15217355
Panthers are arguably pretty shitty, but man W bodys really suck.
>>15217442
Why are people even bothering with discussing the grandma police car when this exists
>>15217737
because you can buy the grandma police car for roughly the cost of an iphone.
>>15217767
Panthers and LS400s are in the same price range
>>15217798
What's the average LS400 go for?
>>15217824
Between 2 and 4 thousand for 1st and 2nd gen
>>15217836
Yeah that's twice what a decent CV or MGM will cost you lol, plus parts for these cars are stupid cheap (as in i can buy an entire engine for this car for about 250 bucks)
>>15217653
delete last two mufflers on a sc400 and it sounds even better than that. Very smooth idle sound and it has a subtle scream (hard to describe) at high rpms.
>>15217846
>this busrider thinks you can buy cars for 1000 that aren't rust buckets that need thousands of dollars worth of work
>>15217878
That's exactly what I did. My car is fine. I bought this MGM for 1800, no issues whatsoever.
Granted, that's a good bit more than 1000, but this thing is in excellent shape and has every available option for the year.
>>15217900
Cool
My LS cost 2 grand
Gonna just slide my 1998 Buick Century Limited Landbarge
>>15217956
Oh and I got it for 300
>>15217956
are you black
>>15217956
Nice W-body.
>>15217968
>W-body
>nice
pick one.
>>15217946
$2k for a UCF20? Good job.
>>15217978
I'll pick both.
>>15217984
nice = being able to burnouts?
>>15217878
I paid $500 for my 56k mile 92 Vic.
$500 for my cream puff 55k mile Tudor
$500 for a nice southern 88 p72
$900 for a 91 wagon
$1000 for another 91 wagon
$1900 for a cream puff 89 towncar
Panthers are literally worthless.
Do E39s count as landbarges?

Really tempted to go take a look at it.
>>15218015
>completely ignores the timeslip on the right side of the picture.
>>15217984
work on your reaction time, thats a fucking solid 11 second car.
>>15217355
ma nigga
>>15217493
>>15217518
easy. undo an engine mount, ratchet strap the motor around the front to the frame underneath. engine rolls forward. no effort at all.
>>15217451
>v6
Say no more, cuck

Meth injection... Wigger mobile there.
On the left is a large size sedan designed in the late 70's. On the right is a modern mid size sedan.
>>15218572
>any Japanese car
>nigger/digger mobile
Lol u tried
I owned this car for a few years. I really loved it, but somebody just destroyed it with their F-350 a few years ago.
Pretty sad, I put a lot of money in those switches.
Was a great car, even if it took a while to get the pumps just right.
>>15218625
There's a spic that shitposts about GS400's all the time.
POST VIPs
>>15218666
Someone post the picture of gsgoy, he's not a spic
>>15218686
He's californian
>>15218689
So am I? Here comes the fly over bringing up his jealousy in a irrelevant manner.
>>15218612
Did you buy a Fusion m8?
>>15217956
>tfw 99 LeSabre
not quite a land barge but not small either
m...mid size fo lyf...
>>15218030
Why the FUCK are Panther platform cars so expensive where I live? I have never seen one go for less than two grand, period, regardless of year or CV/GM/TC/p71.
>>15218701
No why would I do that? Fusion is a coworker's car
>>15218708
They've gotten a little bit popular when they where discontinued. Now that the police/fleet surplus is drying up prices only will increase, though I wouldn't consider it an investment.
>>15218756
Been a while since I've been on /o/. Didn't know if you were still rocking the over 9000 hours idle hour CVPI.
>>15218800
Still got it, approaching 8700 idle hours. I have for the most part abandoned any desire to mod it and get something else later down the road but we will see. Going to be my DD for a couple months still.

'98 here, gotta love those cushy la-z-boy seats
>>15218073
>11 year old time slip
You expect me to believe your redneck shitbox still runs those times today?
>>15216885
1990's Lincoln Town car. RWD, Bench seat, comfy.
Beware the electrical issues.
>>15217381
That explains the flashing engine light and loss of power at high speeds
>>15217956
>calling this a landbarge
Fuck right off
>Yeah bruh my Sebring is a landbarge too
Is this considered a land barge ya'll?
>>15218071
The E38 is an amazing vehicle but they're a bitch and a half to maintain.
>>15221825
I love the LS but this is one fucking disgusting example of it.
>>15221572
>Grand Marquis: 1 Landau top/four wheels

these are excellent cars. that will run forever. so if you decide to ruin these -- fuck you.

Out of all of those it's only the black people that really bother me.
And the salt.

Just upgraded from a 23 year old Mitsubishi shitbox to an '03 MGM today. Feels great.
>>15224643
Hopefully the axles have been replaced.
>>15222920

I still have it saved somewhere because it's fucking hilarious.
