I`ve got an offer from the owner at work to buy my SHO for his son. It`s got 90k mi and I`m just about ready to tear the whole thing apart and most likely drop at least $5k into it. After it`s still a 97 SHO with 90k and worth the same as before I started. So here`s what I`m thinking. They`ve got a mint 96 F-150 4x4 w/ 120k on it I can trade for my SHO and pocket some money. That would be a great work/winter truck, mileage doesn`t matter because I can tear a 5.0 apart with my eyes closed. Instead of my econobox Focus, which I`m using for work now and would have no use for, I`m thinking about a nice high end entry car. Right now I`m inbetween a 325 Coupe and a C230 sedan....C Coupes are ugly IMO. I know a couple people here have 3 series. What I`d like to know before I take the plunge is about:
Insurance
Maintenance, because I over maintain my cars
Reliability/build quality
Overall driving characteristics, as I`ve only rode in an older C class
This is going to be a car I keep a very long time so I want the best for around $30-40k. I`m open to other vehicle suggestions also. (NO FWD!!!!) I guess if I get rid of the SHO I`ll have to change my name......
