I need an old man's car with a bit of class and a big engine. Any suggestions?

You're nearly on the money, an E55 with a 5.4L supercharged M113K making nearly 500hp while looking like grandpa's Mercedes sedan is a great choice if horsepower and speed are metrics you want. Price, even, since they're rather affordable for the performance they offer. A similar S55 works too if you want the same thing in XL size, price is usually the same.
If you don't care about 0-60 or 1/4 mile times, the land yacht is what you want. An old Continental like >>28496668 , or an old Eldorado with the 500ci (8.2L) V8. Maybe even an Imperial Lebaron with a 440ci V8. If you don't want something decades old, don't care about speed/tech, and just want "an old man's car with a bit of class and a big engine" then the last answer I'd say is a late model Lincoln Town Car.

Hideous monstrosity, blacks love these for a reason

Needs more class

Audi RS6.

Buick Century with LT1

>>28496731
Which is better? E55 or RS6?

>>28496737
E55 if you don't want to pay ridiculous amounts for maintenance and still grenade your engine.
Performance is the same, with the exception that you can't launch the E55, you need ~30mph to be able to floor it.
Basically that RS6 is for brainwashed Audi fans, it's too expensive both in buy price and maintenance. The real deal is the S8 D4, it's faster than the RS6 and it comes with the ZF8. Pre-facelift is approximately the same price.
I have an E55 and it's a blast.

Lexus LS460. Big ol' reliable Jap V8.
Can get them cheap in the UK (due to the road tax being high @ £735)

>>28496791
Aren't these the ones with the expensive suspension, steering rack and leaky valley plate? Surely the older one is a better option

>>28496736
This just screams "grandparents on the way to bingo at church"

Mercury marauder?

Q70 L

These almost never get stolen.

>>28496805
you can get laid at bingo night

>>28496803
Yep, LS430 is the shit.

>>28496868
Do so want. Have nowhere to park one. It's like two parking bays long here.

>>28496902
as long as you don't live near the coast. those things rust worse than a Mercedes. Check the hinges and rear arches before purchase.

>>28496737
E Class. Much better car overall. RS6 isn't much faster for having 70hp more, and you'd really have to want 10 cylinders

>>28496978
M113K>M156

>>28496736
>Buick Century
I'm pretty sure that's Roadmaster and Centuries lacked LT1 option

>>28496737
These age like milk

>>28497006
yea you're right, idk why I was thinking century

>>28496931
Shit, didn't know that.

>>28496950
It's 103.

>>28496666 (OP)
That's pretty much it. You can't have an AMG because they aren't classy. Same with M cars

These look great apart from the headlights, I just can't get on with them.
It's a shame because the drivetrain is fantastic

If you are in the UK:
Jaguar XJ petrol
Mercedes E320 CDI (the straight six one not the V6) or a V8 as they are generally well put together
535i or d

Avoid Audis. They are massively overpriced on the UK market. Lexus LS are also an option but a lot of these are on silly miles now and whilst they are well put together they’re not invincible. I’d also avoid anything with air suspension as it is never maintained properly and will be your main headache on an old car

Town Car.

>>28498195
That's one of the reasons the CLS exists, it shares it's chassis with the E-Class. They're just a touch more rare and harder to find than a standard E55.

For me, it's the E46 touring.

>>28496668
If you're a black or indigenous criminal of color maybe

>>28496731
vws are GAY as FUCK and need more class

>>28498657
It looks hideous

>>28498906
Still classier and faster than your car.

>>28498919
Do you own one?
