Just a piece of FWIW advise to the OP; consider buying an old 240D or 300D Mercedes Benz sedan. 30 years ago I started driving them as my DD. I bought an 8 year old 300SD I5 with 93K on it. Drove it to 305K, the next 8-years. Easiest car to work on DIY, ever. Best/cheapest thing I ever did. BTW, they had timing chains not rubber ones.
