Daily driver for $6k

Lexus gs400, put exhaust on it and he will be happy with the v8 noise, decent mpg, comfy, and great reliability. Not to mention a 20 year old lexus is way nicer than a 10 year old mustang

In reply to espz28:

Thanks for the praise.
To hit it on the head again...

Q: What is part 2 door Crown Vic and part "the other Mustang"?
A: Lincoln Mark 8
Cheap too. Local sample

A little older and you have the Mark 7 too.
Pristine local sample

Mark 7 are HOT

Sounds like the role of a 4G maxima. For that price he can probably pick up a really good one and drive it for awhile.

How much more than $6k are early Hyundai Genesis Coupes?

They expensive still. $14-20k, occasional 9-10$k GMR fixer upper but he's not equipped to do that. That's a good car though..

They drive like big muscle cars? I'll have to check those out too... hmm..

Lexus SC400 is the V8 coupe.
Cheap and reliable.

How would maintenance be like on that? He'd have to take it to a mechanic.

Here's a v8 one..

The best part is they rarely break.
The engine was popular. Used in the Lexus sedan too.

Are trucks acceptable? I'm thinking silverado 2wd regular cab short bed with a 5.3. LS power, 300k mile life spans, and do truck stuff.

When you say "Why no 2 door crown vic?" I think v8 cougar. But you already mentioned those I think.

Yup, came here to say SC300/400

keeping that japanese theme, 3rd gen supra, z32 300Z, H22 prelude?

BMWs out of the question?

Well dang, he bought a marauder that we looked at today. And now I'm green with envy.

I was going to put some money into my Crown Vic but after seeing the maruader in person I think that would be a waste. I could just sell my Vic and put the money I get + money I'd spend on the vic and get a marauder. Reliable Honda civic + marauder weekend / cruising sweetheart is sounding good right now for me..

Whats the difference between the vic and the marauder?

In reply to gearheadmb: The body trim is a little different. The cylinder heads and cams are different. The rear suspension has a different setup. It has a standard limited slip diff. They only made a few colors, and the black Marauders look dope.

lexus

LS

400

they practically never break, and for 6 grand you can get a very clean, relatively low mileage 98-01 model (which look much better and had some other nice upgrades than the earlier models)

basically nothing tops the ls400 for comfortable worry free daily driving on a budget

edit: whops, didn't see he bought a marauder, oh well

Nissan Altima Coupe? Accord Coupe? Solara Coupe? If he is feeling really brave, probably could find an early non S cooper in that price range.

Pics?

Pics of the marauder?

I might have pictures of my own.. Looking at two this weekend. Got a wild hair up my ass. I'll park it next to my vic and sell the vic.
