More specifically, luxobarges for less than €3k à la E32, post 1985 W126 and Audi V8.

I'd go W126! They are tanks and well-maintained examples go 300k mi plus. Everything else here, I have no idea. But somehow I feel like the e32/the v8 would be significantly less reliable/harder to find parts for. My experience with other old BMWs is that they are total maintenance whores with expensive parts. If you can find an e32 with an m30 though, that might be ok?

These wheels are the SHIT

wow yeah LS400 is the real answer, especially at this price point. 98 and up are supposed to be best

Personally, I'd skip them all and go for the more obscure Bitter SC sedan. Now THAT'S a German luxobarge.

a) The question was about GERMAN luxobarges.

b) The LS is more of a 9os car.

Dem Mercedes-Benz maintenance prices tho.

If at all it would come down to the W126 and M30 powered E32s, however I don't know how good the rustproofing on those is.

Why do these wheels look like they're from a Prius

MultiplaOrgasms > Noah - Now with more boost. 10/14/2014 at 16:35

W126 would be the safest bet, but them Mercedes parts prices though! Stripper model M30 is next best.

about the same. Benz you need to watch a few spots, same on the BMW. Overall not too bad though. I would find a 300SDL diesel then you really have to think about parts very infrequently

Brian Silvestro > MultiplaOrgasms 10/14/2014 at 16:44

You are correct on both fronts.

But I'm currently obsessed with this car for some reason.

Yeah thing is the Diesel was USDM. Damn freedom.

My Dad had one. Then he gave it to my Mom. Then she sold it to my friend. Then he drove it until the interior was shot to shit and his gf complained. It probably had over 250K miles at that point. It had very few problems during its run.

I will probably buy one once I run out of money then.

My neighbor made TONS of money in the 90s exporting used LS400s to China

Everyone knows it's one of the best cars ever made

I kind of really want one for some reason.

I thought they look more Nissany. I have no idea if they're original, but I found a couple of others on GIS with the same wheels, so I guess they were one of the options.

I like it much more with these:

Talk to YSI about it. I have bantered with him about it before.

Once you do you'll be running out to buy one RIGHT NOW before prices start going up

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari 10/14/2014 at 17:04

I still have to wait until the Fiesta is gone, but that car is one of few that's on my list.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro 10/14/2014 at 17:07

but it's only $600 for a really old one

and you can park on the street. cause very old

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari 10/14/2014 at 17:11

I park the Fiesta on the street!!!!

I don't have space for another car!!

SHOW ME A $600 WORKING LS

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro 10/14/2014 at 17:13

0

oh you do! haha i thought the ST got to be in a garage

hmm maybe you can't find one for that cheap. YSI just told me that his uncle would sell him a working LS for $600. but you don't have a cool Indian uncle

dat Benz is the best car ever

"Give me your ST!"

This convo made me realize that anyone who has a family should buy a used LS. They are reliable. And they have one for every budget.

Let's say you were thinking of spending $35K on your family car. Why not buy this?

SO much car for the money

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari 10/14/2014 at 17:56

Why not just get the same car for $8500!

It's funny how the interior is pretty much exactly the same.

That was stock on a QV. Isn't it in your pic as well, but hidden by shadow?

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro 10/14/2014 at 18:16

More miles and older, but actually proves my point

There is an LS for every budget!!!

I've aways had a thing for V12s and the procon-ten system in the Audi is interesting too. Above all Lancia Thema 8.32 with a Ferrari V8 just cause.

MMMMMMMM HORIZONTAL FRONT WHEEL DEIVE FERRARI V8.

WEEEEEEEEEEEE LSs for everyone!!!!

And most importantly best V8 ever (per YSI) for everyone!

I'd straight pipe the shit out of it if I owned one. Then rallycross it.

If I had to buy a four-door car on the cheap RIGHT NOW, it might as well be this one.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro 10/14/2014 at 19:51

He sent me videos of race cars that have dat V8

If you buy an LS400 you can hoon it till the body gives up, then rip out V8 and install in one of those kit race cars

(like that 917 chassis I keep telling you to buy)

But I'm sure you can find something cheaper than that

You are still young after all. Gotta be careful with how much you spend

It appears to be, but all pre-92 164s have this front spoiler, although on the QV it is a tad bigger. If you take a closer look at the sideskirts and rear apron you'll see that on yours they are much more visible and pronounced than on mine.

For better comparison:
