first off, i'd like to apologise for my absense due to the hectic schedule i have now. No time for much.

Anyways, I'm planning to leave my 560SL in the garage. Its beginning to be a pain to maintain, It seems all the money i make is going into the car. So i'm debating whether I should get roughly 2000 Nissan Maxima or a 2000 Lincoln LS because those two cars are not too expensive, comfortable, and beginning to be very affordable. I'd like to hear some insights. Should I keep my 560 or option for one of the 2 cars i suggested? if so which one?

if anyone has any other ideas on better cars. i'd welcome suggestions. =)

of those two, id strongly suggest the lincoln ls with the optional 3.9L v8... its a reliable, and multi-platform chassis that is also used on the jag's and T-bird.

You;re thinking of letting the 560 SL go? Hmmm. I don tknwo how much the Maxima and lincoln are worth, so what would your price range be?

for many years, even before the new VQ engine. the maxima has won many awards for best engine of the year.

they have a sllick se version which packs a punch. i actually like the 2000 style more than the current maxima.

Noooooooooooo, keep the SL, once you have solved all its problems she should run properly. You'll be sorry if you sell it, wel if you are going to sell it anyway,
buy another Merc instead of those two others you have mentioned.

I would of course recommend an E38 7 series or E23 7 series, since they are much better driver's cars (so the cosensus goes, i think), and also just as pricy to maintain and put right. (=

Of course.

You're such a joker, I love your sense of humor

You didn't mean that of course.

Of course i was kidding. DOnt go near a knackered E38 and E23! They'll cost you an arm and a leg to put right!

Back to the main thread : A Maxima is good, for me anyways, and will probably be touger and longer lasting than a lincoln LS. (=

But what would i know?
