What car should I Buy

Hey Guys,

I am buying my dad a car since he is driving an old POS
so here are some choices any feedback would greatly be appreciated:

1999 - 2002

VW Passat
Buick Park Ave
Infinity Q45
Jaguar XJ8
Buick Lesabre

What do you guys think, or what would you buy??

Cheers
RA

Go with the Buick. Cheapest and most reliable and highest customer satisfaction rating in the business.

XJ8....dad had a 2000 XJ8 and 2002 XJR.....would recommend that car to anyone. I know its for your dad but if you get one that has the optional Alpine stereo, there is no better stock one anywhere.

I drove an XJ8 in HS...took my dads after I crashed my car
and my dad has the XJR

haven't had hardly any problems with these.

If they are out on the road and they have been for the most part problem free...they are the classiest, smoothest riding vehicles out there.

Passats have electrical problems.

What's your price range because maybe we can suggest some better cars instead of the list you accumulated.

Also how about a 2000-2003 Acura RL or 1999-2000 Lexus LS400, I rather have those cars then a Buick.

I like designs like the Q because IMO it has that classic sedan profile; long hood, long trunk, upright cabin.
