Big Dilemma, Please advise
I am currently in the market for another car, and at this point have found these two that are in my price range:
Choice 1:
1989 Crown Victoria LX
90k miles
5.0 V8
New Tires
Everything works but the back windows <stuck up at this point>
Police package
$500
Choice 2:
1993 Chrysler LeBaron
148k miles
3.0 V6
Needs Struts, tires, and alignment
A/C needs to be recharged
Needs Battery
$400
At this point i am leaning towards the Crown Vic. it is a lot more car. money really isnt an issue, i am just tired of getting 13mpg in the tempo and not having the power to back it up. Hit me with any questions that would affect your decision. also, tell me why you chose what you did.

Crown Vic definitely. I don't know about you but if I had a RWD, I would want to do massive burnouts And it'* a large sedan and given your luck with accidents, it'll be safer than a tiny Lebaron and Lebarons are for chicks and gay guys.
Crown Vic is the way to go.

if it all works and is only $100 more who cares about the age difference
All the stuff the Cry-sler needs would cost more than $100

I personally would get the Lebaron, because I have found the later 5.0 to be an extremely undependable engine, JMO.
And Lebarons are not for chicks and gay guys, I almost bought one.

Oh I just remembered another thing, the police pkg pretty much fortifies the car. And it will be able to go fast compared to the Lebaron which would probably blow its transmission at 75 mph, then the hood would fly off and the fabric roof would slowly peel back, the passenger side door would fall off hitting nearby drivers, and the right rear wheel would separate from the car, and the oil pan explodes.
Hmm, yeah I still say go for the Crown Vic, they're super comfy.
