Fuel burn wise, it will cost more unless it has a stick or a AW71L, and mostly highway type miles are the norm. Short city mile driving, it generally don't make a difference with lower mileage driven yearly.e777 wrote:...if i just stick to what I know, the B230F cars...'89 760
Mechanically wise, if a person has to use a dealership, I'd stay away; myself, that's not an issue.
No matter what car brand is bought, its better to stick with the most produced vehicle (or its driveline components). I am not familiar with B280 engine in terms of components used, but parts made specific to it would be harder to find; but sometimes, there is sometimes a work around, like say installing an aftermarket fuel/ignition system.
