imo neither //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. But if I had to I'd prolly just stay with the taurus. Most upside ford stories I've heard have been about their truck and taurus. A 20yr old lincoln...may be free now but $$$ out of your pocket in 3 months //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Honestly all my buddies who have older hondas/acuras never seem to have trouble and if they do its all always dirt cheap to fix. If ya look a pretty nice 92 accord can be had for about $1500, it would be well worth it. As long as it was properly maintained it could go forever. Needless to say I have owned a 94 seville 95 325i 3 chevy s10 blazers and a grand cherokee. I now drive a tacoma, first Jap car. Loving my choice so far. Miss my bimma though still. Not the parts costs or insurance costs though. Was afraid to even haul a box with that though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Edit

The bosnians buy the shos up real quick around here.

um no its my grandparents, good old people driving its in perfect condition and the lincoln is a 302 so engine parts are easy to find for cheap if it breaks

I am not the smartest guy, dont know much actually. But I dont believe its good for a car to set for 5 years straight. I'd stay ford......BUT that is just what I would do, can't say what you should do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

I mean chit its free right? So you would still have the taurus around if ya decided ya didnt want the lincoln? Can't really lose then //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.
