Ok so when I graduate college and get a job, I would really like a classic luxury sedans something with grace, pace and style and not to expensive. I like the Jaguar Mk2 or the early XJ6. Any suggestions?

I considered a Bentley but Jaguars seem cheaper and I like the looks better and they are a bit sportier.

I figured a Bentley would be out of the price range but I just wanted an excuse to post a Top Gear clip.

I have seen T2's for fairly cheap but to me if you are going to buy a Bentley get a good one. I love the Bentley S1, S2 and S3 but they are too expensive.

Diesel Mercedes are lacking a little in the pace and grace department for me aka the sound horrible.

That is unique but not sure style applies. Maybe someone can prove me wrong.

Cool yes but stylish I am not so sure (about the Cressida).

I was thinking something a little more classic then a Cressida but those pictures do kinda make me want one. I want the red Cressida!!!!!

Don't see the luxury in a Cressida. Whatchu want is an old Merc 6.9.

Those old Jags are nice. Love the lines on those cars.

The old Mercs are kinda cool too.

The Cressida does absolutely nothing for me. It is and always will be ugly regardless of how much it is lowered or how shiny the wheels are.

I do like the Mercedes 6.9 a lot. There is a lot of grace and pace there.

How vintage? e38 740i BMWs can be had for cheap money these days. If you go to the previous generations, you can find them with manual transmissions and straight six engines.
