Default Ok, ive narrowed it down...

I know im taking forever to find a friggin car, but ive narrowed it down. Im calling around now about them. Im looking at:

Lincoln Mark VIIs
Mercury Cougars (5.0/4.6L)
Ford Thunderbirds (5.0/4.6L)
Caddilac STSs
Nissan 240SX

Which do I pick!?!?!?! lol... im probably gunna buy the first of any of these that is in decent condition for a good price, but if I find 2 in this category, which should it be?

STS, Cougar, or Thunderbird. Really depends on wether you want a luxury sedan (STS) or sporty coupe (Cougar/TBird)

^^ and the engine is touted as being stronger and therefore can theoretically produce more hp than a skyline!

The Cougar/ T-bird route could be fun, RWD always is but keep in mind that the gas mileage wont be too impressive....
i would imagine the insurance on the cougar/t-bird wouldnt be terrible. its definitely not as bad as a 'stang would be. you'll probably pay more for the lincoln and the caddy than the others. my gf drives an older cougar and insurnace isnt terrible at all, but im in the states.
