Our 1993 Classic has seen better days. It runs well. I know the motor inside and out. I need to do some work to tighten belts, or at least take it into a mechanic to finally fix the squeals that my shade-tree mechanic work can't heal. I haven't been that vigilant about oil changes, as I was trying to get tenure (got it), but the car runs well nevertheless.

The paint is badly oxidized from being parked outside our old apartment (new house recently, now a garage!)

The A/C sucks.

This car hauls our kids and my wife around. It doesn't have rear airbags. I know its safe.. but I worry about that.

I'm considering a 2003 5-series wagon ($13K!). Or maybe a 2004 Passat ($10K). I kinda know what the board will say... but I'll ask anyway. Advice?
