The 240 is looking for some much needed jackstand time, and I now that
I have an income, I am looking for a daily driver.
Musts:
- Must be Rear Wheel Drive, I'd also entertain some All Wheel Drive
cars (depending on the system)
- Manual Transmission (exception for cars easily swapped)
- Must have working, cold AC
- Must be mechanically sound (not looking for a project car since I
don't have a garage yet)
Likes:
- Wagon body style or sedan (I have had a sportwagon fetish for a while now)
- useable space for 4 real people and things
- I6 or V8 motor (I love paying for gas)
- History of model being dependable
- Dark colors (black, dark green, gunmetal, dark reds)
Dislikes:
- light colors (tan, brown, silver, white)
- Domestic cars. I don't know much about them, All my tools are
metric, and I have disliked every big three car my family has owned.
- Slow not fun to drive cars
Price range
$4,000-$8,000
This isn't set in stone. In general, I want to stay away from
something beaterish, or something that I will still be paying off
after I blow it up.
Current List
- Toyota Cressida (can swap easily to manual)
- Volvo 240/740 (rare to find a manual transmission car that wasn't beat on)
- Mercedes 190E (I'll be damned if every single 5-speed car wasn't
sold on the coasts)
- BMW 5 series (a little wary of a car without well documented service)
- Lexus SC300/GS300 (again, mostly autos... stupid americans)
If anyone knows of anything else that would fit my criteria on the
list, please let me know.
I just moved to Wichita, and don't really know where many used car
lots are. So if anybody knows of a car for sale or sees something at a
stealership, please let me know. I can be reached at

Thanks in advance,
