Looking for a stylish, fast car that's maybe around 5k. Dad is an ex-dealership fag who thinks any used car but a honda or toyota will be a lemon.
What are some cars that satisfy his needs which are: low maintenance cost, will last me another 5 years, no major part replacement needed in those 5 years, or has atleast cheap parts available for it.
what are some cars that satisfy those needs? I've thought maybe something like an older lexus or infiniti? any other options?

CLK 430, if you don't mind learning how to do your own maintenance.
Otherwise, all the typical candidates
Get a prelude with a stick, can't go wrong

What are the pros of this car? I don't even know what it is to be honest haha.

Depends how you define fast and stylish. You might have to sacrifice one for the other in this price range. My suggestions, fox body mustang with mods or cafishmaro ss.

I could borrow the tools for it but is it easy enough to do if youre learning from scratch?
>>14057800
is this particular model any more reliable than other benz'?
>>14057821
stylish as in i'm not trying to have a mom car anymore. Fast, maybe at least a 6 cylinder with decent hp?

Yes, the engines on these things are very simple and logical in how they are laid out. They share parts with the E class, so most everything is fairly cheap.

As long as you stay from the C and S/CL classes of that time period, all of them will be reliable

It's a p71 Crown Victoria. Numer 1 fleet car in the US so plenty of parts availability, mustang GT powertrain so decently fast as is or can mod it, body on frame construction is tough as nails.

>so decently fast
they are not anything close to fast OP, don't let /o/ sell you this bullshit
>>14058101
