    What's the best "Old man car" that you've ever seen or heard of? I would like to know since I'm such an old man. I want to hear your young opinions on such a subject. Don't forget that I'm decrepit, so I like a smooth ride.

    And what is it? An old '90s Chrysler New Yorker? I owned one of those. Lasted me many years. Good choice.

    he didnt even want to look under the hood. we even tried to tell him that the suspension was pretty much destroyed. but he just wanted to hand us the cash and leave with the car... about a week later we got a call from him that one of the front wheels fell off of the car while he was leaving his driveway. we pretty much told him "we offered a test drive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

    Personally, I think it would be the real life LeGran, AKA the 1985 Chrysler New Yorker...

    The official car of an old person that bought a sports car to impress their wife and they still own it but they don't know how loved it is.

    Depends on the budget.

    Probably a Lexus LS with air suspension. Or without, if your repair budget is low.

    As I love old "old men" cars, it's quite hard to tell.

    But sometimes the worst one are modern cars.

    Some imo :
    The last clio.


    The renault Kadjar :


    Well, most of the newer Renault x)

    Most volvo.

    Simply because only old men at the end of them career can afford them.
    Well, simply more than 30k cars, can't be afford by most younger people ...

    I should stop here as like I said a very bad exemple
    Most people in front of this, for exemple, would be like
    "Oh my god such an ugly old peugeot and so ugly"

    No I love the 504. I mean, why should I love it ? It's old, heavy, underpowered,and boring. But god I love it <3

    "God such an ugly citroen, such a grandpa's car"

    The CX, a piece of 70 technologies in action. Same here, It's ugly for some, heavy, even the "GTI" version was pretty slow, and it wasn't reliable. But god, this is a modern DS, what's better than that ? <3

    Same story with the 403.


    Yeah, i'm a bad exemple

    Really? Ugly? That Citroen has skirted wheels. I love those, so I'm in the same "boat" with you.:rolleyes: My brother used to own a caprice that had them.

    This is definetely the best car for you sir. Just make sure you go nowhere near an off-road path. You may feel tempted and accidentally break your spine.
