I have saved up some cash to purchase a used vehicle and I'm very indecisive. I want to get some opinions on what you guys like and why. Maybe I see something that I haven't paid attention to.

Looking to spend around 30k ...

So far what In leaning toward are as followed:

1. 2012 Acura TL AWD w/Tech package.
2. 2010 Lexus GS350
3. 2011 Infiniti M37x S
4. 2011 Nissan Maxima SV Premium Pano and Navi Sport.

Was thinking about SUVs

1. 2011 Toyota Highlander Limited
2. 2009 Cadi Escalade
3. 2010 Tahoe LTZ / GMC Denali

But don't know about the gas as I travel a lot.

I was thinking about E350 or 535 xDrive or GL350 but these car required to much maintenance from what I heard.

Anyways what u guys think. Obviously most of these can be had for less than 30k but that's what i don't want to go over. Might finance but rather pay cash... BTW I'm not dipset .. Pictures will be posted after I buy ... And no I'm not looking for an 04 with 200k miles.

Get the Acura or GS.

Not sure how the newer GS models are but the old gen models were pretty reliable.

You have da option to purchase at da end though.

Do the knowledge...You cop a lease for like 3k down and 400 a month right..the 3 years is up and u might have dropped around 15k..you can purchase the joint at the end for whatever is left (and I'm sure you'll have more bread by then)..or you can just pay the 2gs in extra mileage.
 
Can't really go wrong with the top 3. I absolutely love the S190 iteration of the Lexus GS. I never really considered the TL. Only car that I've driven is the M37 as a loaner for about a week. Absolutely loved the car. Very nimble for a midsize.
 
The pre-owned market isn't what it use to be 10 years ago. Buy new get the bigger rebates and better rates. Trust me.

Don't risk going to jail. At Ford you can lease and do all the miles you want so long as you either A. trade the vehicle in at the end of the lease or B. buy the car out right.

I like the way the Mercedes E350 but although I want luxury I don't want a money pit. I had an Audi A6 and absolutely love the car but the maintainace was ridiculous and the electronics forget about it. So I'm not really looking at it.

Can you roll back miles on new cars IE GS350? I'm not messing with that. To much to lose for a vehicle ...

I rather buy modify and drive without problem.
 
Audi's are electronic nighmares.

535 fo sho. Aren't getting a newer one for 30 though. Drive a loaded 335 and you wont look back. Any used BMW get an extended warranty, I paid $2500 and they paid out 3200 in repairs.

If you aren't ready for all that I'd say the TL or Maxima.

I have seen a few 535 xDrive Turbo for around 30 to 33k with around 40k miles. I have never been into BMWs like that m.. Just not that impressive looking inside. However I do like the 5 series if I was to get one. The 3 series IMHO looks very basic entry level and always felt is for people that can't afford 5 series. Although I know is not always the case. In additions I don't mind repairs but many times after the warranty is over I seen does breaking their banks with the upkeep. I think for the worst investment ever that you can get something more mechanicly reliable and inexpensive to repair.

I think that's something they might look for man. I'm sure you can do a check to verify actual milaege tempering.

The Nissan Maxima is your best bet all around.

Next would be the Acura.

I'm basing this on all around quality.

Basically came down to the Maxima and the TL. I grew restless looking for a white/black with all the options I wanted and ended buying this joint. Blk/Blk SH-AWD w/Tech package still under factory warranty.
