Assuming that the purchase of either car would be same amount of money, and would consume pretty much all your budget:
1. the car which is nice, you like, it needs nothing, T&T, ready to roll
2. the car which is an absolute honey, but is in rough condition and will need work to get it back on the road and work to keep it there....
(both cars are the same make but option 2 is nearly 20 years older than option 1)

I would do 1 probably because i know i procrastinate too much when it comes to working on cars and they just left. But you'll do option 2 I'm certain

Option one on the basis of it being a Daily (I hate fixing mine every other week now...). Although I reckon you'll swing for Option 2 .

depends on how much/what work no 2 needs...
if it's mechanicaly A1 and needs cosmetics then i vote 2 but if it's pretty pretty but possibly tired mechanically I'd go option 1

Head says Option 1, heart says Option 2. I regularly let heart my rule head, which is more than likely why I'm not mobile at the moment! ;D

There is one factor you missed out. That is - do you have a daily, or do you need a daily? If the answer to the above is that you need a daily, pick option 1. If you don't need a daily or have one already, pick option 2. Which one is the 'orrible Olds btw?
