I know the conventional thought here is to "go all Euro 'n shit," but here's a nice slice of suburban Americana for $7000.

I don't see how there could be any better than this 1980 GAZ-24 Volga.
Mercedes-Benz E500 Wagon.
I need a new one to park next to my old one.
You know the answer is a 6MT E39 540i M-Sport, and you know that's the answer I'm going to give.
May not be the fastest, or best handling, and it may be wrong wheel drive but it has pretty Damn good looks, 2 doors and the beacon of engine reliability known as the Northstar.
Only a decade old, tinted to hell and back and equipped with the beloved Northstar system, this Caddy will make you the envy of the other 'legitimate business people' in your 'hood.
The 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood of course. Its the largest car you could buy in the 90s and therefore the best obviously.
Does it get more nineties than a 1995 Mercedes S500? 5 litres of V8 wafty goodness....160k miles might be a bit on the high side, but these cars are pretty tanklike.
I'll drink to that!
Swivel headlight covers! Shark-gill vents! Porthole windows! Vinyl roof! Continental tire hump!
1987 Audi 5000 Wagon Whaaaaat?

Why am I doing this? This thing is doomed I know. It's a repair bill with four wheels. But there's just something about owning a V12 biturbo Mercedes that makes me forget all of that. Maybe it's the absolutely absurd amount of torque the engine makes. God bless the folks at AMG.
This is obviously the best because it survived the test of time and 44 years of Russian roads. It also got the most air time on youtube dashcam videos.
Just about any 7 series or S class has the same look in Baltimore. Many of them had the #lowlyfe chosen for them.
The 1991 W126 diesel was not a 300. It was the 350SDL, also known in Benz circles as the "rod bender". This engine was a one year only offering in the W126 and should be avoided (it was also available in the later W140). The other 6 cylinder turbo - the good one - was available in the 1986 - 1987 300SDL. Some of these…
