looking at the current market, the cheapest RWD cars are:
-ford sierra
-w202 mercedes c class
-opel omega
personally owned 3 opel omegas, very reliable cars, simple and good suspension but it's pretty hard to work on because all of the engines were designed to fit into a FWD car, making everything laid out weirdly
4 cylinder diesels are slow as shit but will take a beating without a question, main point of failure is the high pressure fuel pump
4 cylinder petrols have great torque, there are significant differences in electronics between the 2.0 and the 2.2, if you can get a 2.0
rust can be a issue, mostly around wheel arches like picrel
STAY AWAY FROM AUTOMATICS
