Question. . . .
You are a 17 year old male. Buying your first car. You can pick from a:
1992 BMW 525i - Silver, Moon roof, A/C and other stuff.
and:
1999 Ford Explorer Sport - 4x4, A/C, roof rack, power options, and other stuff.
Both cost the same. Both are in about the same shape (as far as rust, dings, etc for 10-15 year old cars).
More info: The A/C on the BMW is sick (as in, not well). Not sure how much longer it will last. Power seats are starting to go. Gears are poping, etc. All other power options work well, including the sweet moon roof.
Pretty much everything on the Ford is good. The owner is in a selling mood and tired of dealing with it. Asking blue book, taking signifcantly less, thus bringing it into his price range.
So, bang for buck, the Ford wins being that it's over all a healthier car. But, the other option is a 'sweet' (in a 17 year old's eyes) BMW.
Anyway, which do you pick?

What was the number one "Clunker" in the cash for clunkers program again?
Oh yeah.
BMW.
Where did you hear that?
According to this article the Ford Explorer was the #1 traded in vehicle. It was also #2, #3, #4, #7 and #8.

I was pointing out the Ford explorer was the #1 Clunker... and my choice was BMW.
Sorry for the confusion.
Gotcha.
As for which car, I'd keep looking. Have him start looking on the web too. That's how I found my car. I'll never buy a new car again after learning what I did during my last search and purchase. (Unless I'm rich, then I won't give a shit.)

What'd I do? Or was that supposed to be a link?
