Answer 1

Ok, since you're 19 and say you're on a budget, you need to consider the insurance costs above all else. Insurance is much, much, higher for young men!! Call your insurance provider and ask for a quote for all 3 vehicles. Also, depending on what state you live in, you may be responsible for property taxes on the car. I live in Ky. and every year when we renew our license tag, we also have to pay property tax on our car. The more expensive the model, the higher the taxes are. You need to consider gas mileage as well, since gas is expensive and will probably never go back down. Also watch for those "hidden" costs that the dealers try to sneak in there. I NEVER pay for the transfer, they should be willing to do that to make the sale. Read your contract carefully, and anything you don't understand, don't be afraid to ask what it means.

Answer 2

Well, the first thing I think you should look at is the insurance cost for the vehicle for you. Your rates aren't going to look good for another 6 years. I'd go with the car that has the cheapest insurance available to me.

Then I'd look at maintenance. None of the vehicles you purchase are going to be maintenance free. And most mechanics are going to be more familiar with the cheapest, most popular model.

On that same line, tires, tune-ups, oil changes, unexpected repairs. Those costs could add up pretty quickly especially on the luxury vehicles.

Another area of concern is going to be property taxes/registration. The older the car, the better off you'll be there.

I'm all for having a nice looking ride, but if you don't have any money left in your pocket to look nice, too, what's the sense in having the ride?

I wouldn't bother with any mod that isn't going to save you money in the long run and be able to pay for itself. Eventually any car you purchase is going to end up in someone's junkyard through, accident, sale or theft. So why bother? Who's gonna care in a year or two anyway?

Answer 3

From what i have heard impala value drop every year so stay far away from them. Go with a Honda man!!!! They hold value, you can build on em. With the cash you got you could just buy a integra type r that is fast and fun to drive. they also hold value. Who wouldn't want a type r!! but anyways out of those three i would got with the BMW (even though i hate them). Lincoln is like your driving a boat.
buy a HONDA you wont be disappointed!!!!!!

Answer 4

If your on a budget, stay away from the bmw. I looked this up last night, and a simple timing belt/chain replacement was $1, 285.

So between the lincoln ls and 98 impala.
Heres the 2000-2006 ls service bulletins.

Heres the impala tsb.
http://www.mycarstats.com/auto_TSBs/CHEVROLET_IMPALA_TSBs.asp

I think thats all you need to know. The impala has far fewer service issues.
Your on a budget, therefore your auto choices become limited.

Answer 5

Personally I would chose neither. My car doesnt have to be an extension of my penis. Furthermore if women dont like you based on your car how will they deal with the fact that your just human and eventually may experience some problem or other.
What im saying is get buy with something decent running, dont break the bank to get it and you sound handy, do you own mods and you can still have a cool car.

Answer 6

BMW 325i 96 for sure! Just a better car overall than the others!!!

Answer 7

Lincoln LS would be my choice to buy and drive. I love the BMW, but parts are expensive.
