My 92 BMW is just not worth what I would need to put into it to bring it up to snuff.
That being said, I am kinda partial to BMW 6 cylinders, as long as they were the M50 generation (timing chain vs rubber band), and I see alot out there in the 5-6k range. I also like the fact they go a long time. So for a DD, other than the BMW, what would ya'll recommend in the 5-6k price range? Looking for something rock solid, and ok with it being a bit boring. |

I might be at the high end of historical Civic ownership... (2 CRX's, 2 hatchbacks, 2 sedans, all bought new)...but if you like a BMW 6 cylinder you won't like a Civic much. How about a 1st gen Lexus IS 300? They have a pretty strong inline 6, reliable as hell, rear wheel drive. Always wanted the wagon version for some reason ('cause we like weird cars, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) They can be pricey but I have seen some in the $6k range.
