Hello! I intend to purchase a full-size car to replace my subcompact. I can't seem pick the car with the "best bang for the buck", so I was hoping to lean on the advice/suggestions from car gurus and mechanics.
1. 2010 Subaru Legacy, 118,191mi, $5,999
2. 2009 Ford Crown Vic (Ex-Police), 109,982mi, $6,995
3. 2012 Chevy Impala 48,377mi, $8,500
4. 2015 Nissan Sentra S 72,180mi, $8,199
5. 2005 Buick Le Sabre 29,135mi, $7,950
All vehicles are automatic, have clean titles, and all come from dealerships. Basically, I'm looking for a vehicle that is a) relatively easy to fix. b) tough and reliable. and c) low maintenance/insurance costs.
Any advice/suggestions is welcome and greatly appreciated!

If you dont mind a bit of a gas guzzler the Ford crown vic is pry the best choice. Tons of parts available, lots of working room to work on it and reliable. Just make sure to have a trust mechanic look it over.
If you’re looking for a daily driver, I’d say none of them. That Buick has very low mileage, but it’s old
Find a Camry.
Personally, that list seems to be bad choices and overpriced. The Crown Vic probably would be okay but they get dismal fuel economy and being an ex-cop car that thing is stupid expensive especially after being abused horribly the first part of it's life. I agree with InThrustWeTrust, find a camry for that kind of money and you'd be happy with it.
You didn't list any Toyotas, but I would go for an Avalon. Out of the ones you have listed, I would take the Buick in a heartbeat if it has the 3.8L engine. Otherwise I would go for the Crown Victoria.
I honestly would not pick any of them. Now, normally I would say the Crown Vic, but since its an ex cop car it likely will have a bunch of problems now or in the near future.
