Which vehicle for 50k

[old_gregg]

Going through this process too so will be interested in answers.

Must be a 4wd SUV or truck. Prefer leather, nav, sunroof, v8, bluetooth, xm/serius, backup camera, park assist, premium stereo.

why do you need an suv/truck? towing capacity? if you don't need to tow, buy a 530xiT.

I think he was referencing his new ride.

Exactly. Four doors and more room than pretty much any car I've ever seen in the back. Much more room than anyone needs really.

BMW 5 Series.

[statman]

A fully unsubsidized chevy volt.

Agreed. I ride to work in one and I fit comfortably in the back and have plenty of leg room. Very smooth ride and plenty of power.

I am sorry to hear about your Dodge. My power stroke diesel is still running although the transmission has been acting up

I don't think I would ever drop 50k on an auto. I can't get past it making zero financial sense.

I was wandering around a Lexus dealership a few months ago and saw a super-duper SUV for $98,000. I'd feel weird driving around in something that cost that much.

Fixed that.

[BlueHair]

Tesla Model S

I don't know, Bish. Wouldn't you rather have your family come together in one Accord?

[LA Ute]

Fixed that.

My car cost a lot less than that. Once the seller filed away the VIN we were able to make a pretty good deal.

I've been on another car coveting browsing kick. If I decide my kids don't need to go to college (the world needs ditch diggers too) maybe I could justify paying 50 grand for a car, for myself.

What would be the preferred car for greying, but still strikingly handsome, man? Something that looks nice, but doesn't scream mid-life crisis, or wannabe hipster dbag.

Audi A5
BMW 5 series
Mercedes E-Class
Lexus IS
Infiniti G

If you don't mind babying your car, go with the BMW. They are the most fun to drive. If you place more importance on a well-engineered ride in every respect (including ergonomics) that won't have you taking it in for service constantly, the Lexus is the one. These are my entirely subjective opinions based on my experience, and if called upon to defend them I will decline.

It appears that you enjoy sedans and vehicles with unisex appeal, including the elderly and moms on their way to Costco.
