Buying/Selling

So I’m wanting to buy a used car, probably on ebay. My budget is 11K or preferably less. My main concerns are comfort and reliability. I have had good experiences in the past with buying Ford Crown Victoria retired police cruisers. They are cheap, roomy and reliable. I have more money to spend now though and heard Lincoln town cars are similar to the Crown Vics, but even more comfy. Here is a listing for one on ebay I’m interested in.

A VERY NICE CAT THAT WILL NOT DISSAPOINT.

The problem is, there is this ‘autocheck’ score of 70 on it. It also said it was in one accident. Some other cars I was looking at had much higher scores, such as this Impala

Low Mileage Chevrolet Impala.

Well, I know the Lincoln Town Car’s reputation for longevity, but I don’t know as much about the Impalas. Are they just as good? I also found one that is a Super Sport variety that seems like it would be just as powerful and maybe as roomy and comfy as the town car.

Any opinions are welcome. It is 100s of miles from me, so I cannot go check them out in person, but I have bought 3 cars off ebay in the past without inspecting them and those all turned out fine, so I’m happy to take the risk. Which would be the better buy, more comfy, more reliable?
