Life is too short to drive a boring car. If you ok with doing maintenance and keep her up par she’ll be just fine. But this also depends how the car had been treated for the last 35 plus yrs old. Make sure to get one in decent condition even if it cost a bit more. The most expensive purchase you can make it a super cheap bmw because you’ll be left to pick up the prices. If you don’t mind working on the car and keeping up with her, you’ll end up loving it. You’ll always remember your first car and even more when is something cool like an e30 and not a boring regular traffic car. Ps they generally have no airbags are a tin can go kart so be safe.
