What car should I keep?

Question

I have a 1996 Buick Roadmaster Wagon which is considered collectible even though its not THAT old and it has a Chevy LT1 5.7L V8 260hp engine which is nice and comfortable and powerful car, but it needs some work to get back running like it should, or I can sell the car and buy my friends 1992 Ford Ranger V6 stick shift, with a body lift, off-road tires, and modified exhaust which sounds good with low miles in good condition.  Each car has its pros and cons...which is the right one??  
The good on the car: A car worth keeping over the years, power, comfort, hold 8 people, luxury.  
The bad on the car: Bad styling (not a car to pick up chicks in!), needs a tune-up which is expensive on this motor.  
The good on the truck: a little nicer looking than a station wagon, can actually haul some things in the bed if I need to, doesn't need work, reliable, sounds cool.  
The bad on the truck:  not a vehicle worth keeping over the years, will probably sell it in a few years for something else, its green, stick shift.

You should be looking at something a lot newer, both of those vehicles are past their use by date and should be off the road, even the Buick is only a clunker, there is nothing collectible about it.

I would not trade any 1996 model for an older vehicle.  That does not make sense.

You need to figure out what your needs & desires are in a vehicle.  Why are you asking us?  Only you know that stuff.
