1980 or newer diesel Mercedes 300 from crags list (~4,000). Take to a dealer and replace brakes and then to a detailer to clean up.
Gets 30+ mpg, solid car, runs forever, and the classier girls like it.
Mercedes CLK 430 Cabriolet; Great car, powerful enough to get up to speed quickly. Kicks into 5th gear at 118, not sure of the top end, speedo only goes to 160.
Still gets 23 mpg in town above 30 on the highway. The only woman that doesn’t like it is my wife, I don’t know why...
