Sajeev,
I'm finally ready to lose my BORING 2002 Geo Prizm.
Checking eBay for older Lexus LS or a Mercedes C-class(about 2004-2006) . If I went with the Merc with the gasoline V6, what type of Gremlins might I expect to attack me when my wallet is most vulnerable? The Prizm is turning my brain to mush and my right foot is in despair!
Thanks for your excellent advice.
Sajeev answers:
That's a good question, insofar that I'm answering the question I heard you to ask…not your actual question.
"Why yes, the 2003+ Lincoln Town Car with an SCT tune, a cop car air box/rear sway bar, late model Mustang GT mufflers and a quicker axle ratio is PERFECT for you! Considering otherwise is foolish, and thank goodness you are no such fool."
But somewhat more seriously, these questions are fun: the OP knows he's about to do something stupid.
Like buying a neglected Lexus LS with an explodey timing belt. Or the litany of little things to drive you nuts on most W203 C-class Benzes. Or big things, like certain V6s with balance shaft issues. But, on the plus side, the C240 looks more robust, perhaps even having less body mounted electric gizmos to fail as it's a lower level model. Maybe even with super durable MB-Tex coverings!
I'd go with the C240, for the stout motor. The rest of it? Off to you, Best and Brightest.
