and

if you can find one with the ATACAMA Interior.

Dude, I never knew you lived in MD?

I've yet to see that crusing around here. When can I whip that 6 speed?


jordan23, I'd definitely consider getting an E60 V8 from 2005-2007, or if you're interested in a racing motor/more performance minded, a later('02-'03) E39 M5.

545i's
M5's

I like! I will look into this also. I would prefer a sports sedan (luxury with plenty of power) and it looks like this Volvo might just do it

im starting to lean more towards the GS350 but thats on the upper end of my price range. I still have yet to test drive one.

again, thank you for all the replies

[mr monday niight]

07 tl Type s would be nice too

Can't go wrong with either

Cadillac CTS-V

BMW 745 (but it obviously will be out of warranty)

by this list my suggestion would be irrelevant

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


-J23C

If by all means you can afford, that being the keyword, then go for $25k. Just make sure you have money also on the side for whatever.

I still dont think you can get one of those cars you listed for $25k, not unless the miles are high. Also if the miles are high chances are the interior iskind of worn.

I don't live in MD. I posted pics of someone else's car through a Google Search. Mine is the same exact color combo though (but an '06). What doyou drive?

 

[shaolin]

brown leather = win. but that shifter and boot looks cheap

like a toy.

and like someone else suggested... e39 M5 is

its actually more of an orange/ pumpkin color in person. as for the shifter, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

i can't argue on the E39 M5 (one of my favorite cars). i just don't see that as a reasonable car for someone with a $25K budget and a possible DD inMinnesota. low mileage examples are still going for the low to mid 30's (and higher).

 

[shaolin]

^dont take it as an insult. I just never seen anything like that. I think they could of atleast throw an orange leather boot around that

 

[rfx45]

I'd add $5k more and buy a BMW 645.

I live in Minnesota so that car in the winter is a No-go...

NKEAIR, thank you, I will look into the TSX/TL


-J23C

Then goodluck driving the CTS-V.

My 03 couldnt drive with a coating of snow and it was the reg v6 3.2l

You wont be able to leave the driveway in the V.

If you want a Caddy, I would tell you to get a V6 or V8 STS4(AWD) but theyre killing it off in 2010.

Still, you can deff get 1 Certified for a good price at a dealer.


I drove mine like an animal in the snow.

 

[kobe jordan]

get a 07 or 06 3 series

 

[celticspride34]

also, how bout a jag xf? There was a peice in the ny times comparing sport sedans in may or june i think, take a look if you can find it online

 

[therenegade23]

Why not get a new car?

 

[atlien seeko]

CTS-V?!?! Get the CTS-V...
