. Thanks for the hint, looks very reasonable. If you would try to find some optimum between fun to drive, reliability, access to spare parts and self-servicability what it would be from the list above?
Anything past about 1980 has too much electronic crap on it for my taste. I owned several VW's (pre-80's, no A/C) and got "The Volkswagen Manual for the Compleat Idiot" and did all my own work. I've had Fords, Chevys, Toyotas, Datsun, Nissans, '60 Mercedes, Plymouths, all pre-80's and they're all easy to work on. I'd jump on a Datsun, VW or early Ford or Chevy.
