Just another aside.
I don't know where you live, but as someone who's driven used in the city, then tried to go to a lease.. I learned the hard way.. $$$$ insurance, (especially in PA/NJ) mechanics who can smell your car coming like chum in the water, and every little smartass with an outstretched key, or beer bottle taught me that sometimes New and Shiny ain't always the way to go.
In the city, I'll never drive an "attractive nuisance" again.. too much to worry about every time somebody smashes, keys, barfs or pees on your car..
I haven't even mentioned theft.. I NEVER see SAAB's on the daily police reports...lol. At least not the classics.
You're not gonna find a car, regardless of make or model pre 1993 that'll be easy to work on, unless you want to try and integrate Computer assisted diagnostic testing into your wrench routine.. You've done a HG job.. I'm already in awe of that :* to be honest, I'd think you could handle just about anything else that car could throw your way!
I don't mean to discourage your interest in buying new. Hell, I did it. Just know that the costs just shift- they won't go away. But it DOES feel nice to sit in a car that you can't tell is on, lol.. Good luck in whatever you choose man!
