Okay, I have 25k to spend on a car. Nothing more than 4 years old. I want a sports sedan, or a bigger body car. I was looking at getting a 2008 Lexus IS350,but after test driving it, is a little too small for my frame (im 6'5).

Gas milage isnt really an issue, but I'm not really interested in a SUV. And I want to try and stay in the "Luxury" brands.. But I wont get aMercedes-Benz.

My options so far:

Lexus IS350 (front runner)
Cadillac CTS-V
Lexus GS350
BMW 745 (but it obviously will be out of warranty)


anyone have any other suggestions? Im sure I am missing some cars that may peak my interest. let me know, thank you

Get the Caddy, such a Smooth lookin car, I would say the BMW but the warranty thing ia no-go
 
Just because you have $25k doesnt mean you should get a car worth around $25k. Save $5k for insurance, gas, future maintenance, etc.

You aint getting any of those cars without a good amount of mileage. Go find a car in the $20k range and work from there.

Right, I was merely looking at the BMW, but out of warranty is basically asking for problems. Just like the Mercedes, its too expensive for upkeep

any help is appreciated!

get a old school muscle car maybe a chevy ss with dark green paint and put some 22's on it trust me
 
Acura TSX

or the Acura TL


i dont really like the TL and the TSX isnt that bad, but they are pretty big compared to their older models

And 10 Piece, I actually have enough money to AFFORD a 25k car, thats my limit that I feel comfortable spending, but I feel what you are saying

*ahem* Is this money from that HDTS play I put you onto? lol anyway how is the IS350? I've had my eye on that for a while. And I'm not as tall as youas I wouldnt have that issue.
 
If you want a roomy, reliable, and luxurious car then the GS350 is your best option. The Caddy is a BEAST, but if you don't care for the power then it isnot neccasary to get a high-performance car. Plus maintenance on the V is going to be a lot more than the standard CTS, due to the high stress sc engine, thebigger brakes, etc...

overall, I liked the power that this had. I test drove the IS250 first, the the 350, and the difference is HUGE. I liked it, but the only problem I had wasthe size of the car itself

You could buy a low mileage '07 or '06 for low to mid 20's now. Would be a great car in Minnesota with the AWD. It also has 300 HP. Should beplenty of room for you. I am 6'4" and the car works fine for me.

Get the GS350, Toyota Avalon is nice too... But if those are your choices def GS350
