Should I buy a 1992 mercedes benz 300e or a 1999 ford crown victoria?

So my options are a 1992 mercedes benz 300e for $600 or a 1999 ford crown victoria $500. They are both in similar condition although the mercedes has 190,000 miles and the crown vic has 250,000. They would both cost the same for me to insure

Added (1). I prefer a mercedes to a ford but the for also has automanuel transmission which I like more than just automatic with the benz

One thing to consider with cars that age is the ability to get replacement parts. Since Mercedes is foreign those old parts are likely to cost a bundle, much more than the Crown Vic. Having said that, the Benz is the much better deal if it was taken care of properly--not only because it has significantly less miles but because they were built better to begin with. OTOH hand if your only paying $600 maybe just run it till it dies and then spend another $600 on another car, rather than repairs.

  • Which car brand is better, Acura or Mercedes-Benz? My mom is wondering what kind of car would be good to replace her Mercury Grand Marquis. She was considering the Lincoln MKS but after we heard it wasn't that great of a car (and all our Ford products have been unreliable) so my mom is considering either an Acura RLX or Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Looking at used ones, they're about the same price, but we might be able to get a better deal on the Acura. Which car would you get?
