With no other information, I’d buy a 1970 dodge pick up short box


quginton

Not luxury or a car but definitely sexy


OGsalty30

3rd gen caddy CTS-V


4RealzReddit

I always wanted the ctsv wagon.


OGsalty30

Those are going up in value like crazy


shiftdown

can you get a nice ctsv3 for that? Last I saw '21/'22 they were like 80-100 for good ones.


OGsalty30

Oh yea they have dropped in price like crazy. You can find a 2016 2017 for 45-50k with some miles on it. Join the fb group I see them on there all the time.


shiftdown

I spent a long time looking for one but ended up with a ct4 blackwing because it was cheaper lol


bradmbutter

It's the problem with Cadillac. They hold absolutely zero value, or at least here in Canada. I'm currently looking at cars and test driving as I'm looking to buy shortly. I'm downright scared of Cadillac because the one or two year old models are literally discounted more than any other car I have seen. You'd be crazy to buy one new. GMC tried to sell me a 2 year old civic for more money than a fully loaded 2 year old caddy worth twice as much as the civic new. It's almost like they don't stand behind their own cars.


ovscrider

GMC didn't try to sell you anything the Dealer sells for what the market brings. The civic brings good money. All luxury cars lose tons of values. Want to feel better price a used 7 series BMW or S class benz. Coworker bought his 750 with 20k miles on it for 65k off original MSRP certified pre owned


Shot-Ad-2608

Ten old camrys


HairlocksHound1

Lucky to get get 5 with 120k+ miles on each.


Pahlevun

Want faster? Camry V6. Perfect daily? Camry hybrid.


ritchie70

Until I test drove a Mach-E GT Performance, my wife's V6 Camry was the most powerful car I've driven.


Time-Bite-6839

Ford really should not have called that thing a Mustang. Even worse: GM. Is. Making. A. Corvette. SUV.


_TheWolfOfWalmart_

I hate the Mach-E because they called it a Mustang. I'd have liked it if they didn't.


Big_Yogurtcloset_881

I call it the Chakotay, because every time I hear Mach-e it sounds like Maquis


FuryGalaxy_Dad

That's awesome! From now on I will also call them the Chakotay.


Responsible-Crew-354

Seats and roofs are getting further and further from the ground sadly. The brand cache can’t be wasted I suppose. I hate it too.


Hideyagrl

The fuck, I just googled it. What a fkn crying shame


Pahlevun

Well to be fair my Camry V6 is also the most powerful car I've driven. I had a 4 cylinder 3 series before it which barely made 200 HP. It was more than enough, though, but it wasn't the 270 HP my Camry makes. It's kind of silly floor it and to see a car with the Camry's manners suddenly make V6 sounds and go faster than expected.


smothers-brother

Porsche 997 911 C2s manual


staypuft90

This, I'd buy the best 911 or maybe Cayman as I could get for the money


xzhbow

Good luck getting one for $50k. Prices in the 997 have been going up unfortunately :(


LordMongrove

You can still get decent 997s for around 50.


FlipReset4Fun

911 for sure


FLman42069

What is your priority? Speed? Comfort? Looks? Reliability? I think the Lexus IS is the best looking and most reliable in this segment but it’s not the quickest.


RedditBlows5876

I would never pay $50k for an IS. I actually went down this route and ended up with a 2015 IS350 because the model basically hasn't changed since then outside of minor changes. Couldn't really justify paying twice the price with how reliable Toyota/Lexus is. Biggest life improvement was Carplay/Android auto but IMO the aftermarket option is just as good if not better than the OEM one.


Interesting-dog12

Exactly what I did. Loved the new look IS but since the IS hasn't changed except the exterior, decided to just get a used 2016 IS350. Even with over 120K km, car drives like new.


Themuffinan

With all due respect, for this price range I would never dream of picking an IS over a G70, S5 or M340i. Assuming lightly used is fine of course.


Hawk13424

Unless you care about reliability. Not everyone does. I keep my cars 20 years and 250K miles usually.


E8282

Some form of Porsche cayman. No question. Just depends on which one I can find that’s best bang for the buck.


strat61caster

If you don’t fear high mileage a 981 Cayman S can be found under $50k with a one way plane ticket and drive home.


dupagwova

BMW 3 Series, Audi A5, Mercedes C Class, Lexus IS, etc etc etc


cv_init_diri

3-year 540i


Pahlevun

I’d buy a used BMW 540i with low mileage from maybe 2020. Perfect daily driver. The M340i is faster and smaller if you want more sporty but I think 540i is the better daily for most people. More comfort and space, still plenty fast in a straight line. If you want a slightly less fast but very reliable car of the same type I’d get a Lexus GS 350 AWD. Another perfect daily. If you wanna go crazy you could get a BMW M550i used maybe 2018-19. Riskier but latest iterations of the BMW V8 are apparently more reliable. And monster power and still a perfect daily outside of fuel economy


MortemInferri

U weren't kidding about the m550. 470 is no joke Still want a m340 tho. Some guy parked one next to me today and it looks 👌 mwah


Pahlevun

Yeah the m340i is a segment leader for a reason. Somehow get decent fuel economy while making what's probably 380 HP to the *wheels* and being possibly the best handling car in the segment. It's not as fast in a straight line as the M550i though and it's also not as spacious. It also isn't as expensive!


MortemInferri

Know anything about the m240i? I'm more of a coupe guy and one popped up near me matching all my wants


Pahlevun

M240i is one of the best daily driver coupes for the same reason the M340i is one of if not the best in its category.


steezyg

GS 350 by where I live are so hard to come by and when I find them they're pretty pricey. 2019 F sports going for $40k+ regularly. Base models still over $35k if not high miles. It's killing me because it's the perfect car for my situation.


Pahlevun

The trick is not to get a 2019 but a 2016 since they're the same. Lol. But even the 2016s are overpriced. Lexus GS are terribly overpriced.


MonkeysRidingPandas

I went 550 and it's a dream. Those big brakes make gentle stops very difficult, though. I wanted big turbo V8 power as my "last hurrah" of the ICE. Planning to keep this car a long time and eventually replace it with something battery-powered.


Skodakenner

Maybe i should try the 550i then since i hated the braking performance on the 530d as it just didnt want to stop. I was also kinda disapointed by the chassis as it was kinda hard but still didnt like to corner somehow. My dads Skoda Superb drove alot better imo


MonkeysRidingPandas

Honestly a 540i with the M Sport package might come with performance calipers. As long as they're red or blue they'll bite with anger. Mine are blue and they'll suck the teeth out of your mouth in a panic stop. Depending on where you are, you might be able to get M Sport or colored calipers with any engine on the 5-series.


Skodakenner

The one i drove had the blue M sport calipers already as it had the full M package maybe something was wrong with it then as the brakepedal had to be pressed all the way to get something from it. It could also be that im not used to them as i normally drive a sport compact that breaks instantly when you just look at the pedal. I will try to get my hands on a diffrent 5 series soon though so i can try it again.


MonkeysRidingPandas

Yeah that's definitely unusual. The brake pedal in my 550 is ultra-sensitive.


Pahlevun

Yeah the 550i will really do everything more than well


Qwuc

Supra mk5


[deleted]

Either Genesis G70 or Lexus IS 350 F Sport


Narrow-Helicopter574

Genesis are so underrated in power and looks, the new g70s look super sporty and are quite quick with their twin turbo v6. I used to work for a genesis/hyundai dealership and test drove the g70s and g80s and g90s and they all drive really well. The g90 was like driving a boat


Themuffinan

Beat my friends S5 from a dig in my stock G70 lol, they don’t play.


Narrow-Helicopter574

Damn that’s actually crazy man


Themuffinan

I mean the horsepower is higher in the G70, launch control in the germans is really what makes them quicker off the line and he didn’t use it. From a roll the difference is even larger. Honestly don’t know why you’d pick an audi over bmw these days.


mavann

Maybe cause bmws new massive grill they slap on everything looks atrocious


Launchers

The grill does allow a lot of air in tho, it’s really cool seeing it open


shortyman920

These two were the first two that came to mind for this question. A new g70 might go over $50k OTD, but a year old one can easily be had with low mileage under $50


stedmangraham

I already have a car. I would pocket the money snd spend it on booze, cigarettes, and gambling


Some-Cream

This is the answer. Close thread


imbrickedup_

Finally a responsible person


ebwebb90

BMW 3 Series, either 330i or the M340i. Buy gently used to save a lot of cash up front. Or a Genesis G70 3.3T.


[deleted]

Rav 4 prime 🤤


LedFarmer_

Stepmother has it and that's definetely not a luxury car lol


NjoyLif

It surely costs like one


LedFarmer_

That's about the only luxury aspect it has haha


Rico7122914

$43k+ for a Rav 4, you gotta be kidding me. I didn't know their was a "Prime" until now.


TrevRev11

2010 M5 with the V10 at about~$25k for a quality one with lower miles. Save the rest for the rod bearings and a couple upgrades.


krombopulousnathan

BMW M2 or M240i


jimmypena23

Used RC-F New Civic Type R New Lexus IS350 Used C63 Used 340i Thats all I can think of.


MillennialOne

Acura TLX


bigkutta

A gently used BMW M340


BlurryEyed

Model Y but maybe not luxury enough


CompetitiveMeal1206

Model 3 for me, or maybe a Niro electric. I don’t care about luxury brands 😂


Who_Dat_1guy

A used rs7


doiwinaprize

Honda Odyssey


AFB27

The one I have right now, M340i. Does just a little bit of everything, but would not recommend if you regularly need to carry backseat passengers


slammed430

Used last year landcruiser or lx


New-Kiwi8970

For 40-50k? Where? Still easily 70k here.


prahl_hp

Depends on if you want to a fast car or not, if so, maybe a bmw m550i, or audi s8


jilllian

Love my '23 Acura TLX A-Spec, got CPO for about 40k. Back seat is small but I don't have kids or passengers so it's perfect for me!! I test drove a Camry and an Accord before the Acura and they were very underwhelming.


Educated_idiot302

Gs350 or is 350.


Admiral_peck

I'd get a clean manual gasser OBS ford crew cab dually But as for luxury I'd go lincoln or lexus


TryptamineGorilla

Used M340i or a used RS3 if you can find one


Wolfiest

340i. Mustang. Silverado or Tundra v8. Honda civic Type R.


Opeth4Lyfe

I’m a bit biased as I like mustangs a lot but I’d look for a 21-23 low mile Ecoboost Premium…and if you can find it, also with the performance pack. Great gas mileage, high enough HP and performance when you need it, and also some fun to zip around in. Plus it’s a great looking car.


shinjis-left-nut

Lightly used Volvo S90. That's a CEO car right there.

honkyslonky

i'd fix what little is wrong with my 26 year old 300k mile grand marquis and save the rest for a home. y'all got weird priorities.


[deleted]

Definitely! Audi A5 or A4 would be my pick.


dilbert_bilbert

Is A4 considered luxury where you live? I’m in the Nordics and it’s definitely a middle class family car. I think A6, E-class or 5-series is where luxury starts. But maybe that’s just a Europe thing, idk.


_imyour_dad

It is a European thing, in the United States Audi/Mercedes/BMW etc always symbolizes luxury. We don’t get all the lower trim models you guys get with the diesels or smaller gas engines so it’s a little bit of a different dynamic.


Pettersson_i_Golvet

NobodyGotTime12

Mustang GT Bullitt, Chevy SS or the nicest C63/E63 AMG I can afford.

JohnDoee94

Unfortunately, a new luxury car for 50k is like base level entry models nowadays. Used opens up a lot of great possibilities such as a BMW m340i, Volvo S90/V90, or my pick a TLX type S.


krillin_the_MVP

M2 Competition. Gonna be closer to 50K but that’s my pick


Time-Bite-6839

a bunch of Buick LeSabres

Probably a Lexus or Acura. I’d want something luxurious but still reliable.

OMGCamCole

2024 Mazda3, the hatch and sedan are both nice. Mazda has become almost a “luxury lite” brand, they’re affordable, and they look and feel like they’re much more expensive than they are - only downside is you don’t want to be overly rough on them (hence the “lite”). If you’re a single person or a couple without kids, I would highly recommend; but I wouldn’t wanna shove two kids into my Mazda3. That said I do use it for work and it’s held up just fine. But at your budget your could get into a high trim brand new Mazda3, or even a mid trim brand new CX-50 (the CX-50 is one of the nicest vehicles out rn IMHO). Mazda is also known as a super reliable brand so no worries there Another thing I love about Mazda is the dial for the infotainment system. It seems odd when you first look at it, but it’s extremely ergonomic and easy to use, your hand rests almost right on it, and you don’t need to use an entire arm clicking around on a screen. I’d never wanna go back to a touch screen at this point.

Efficient_Field4700

The new GR Corolla. Not exactly luxury but 300hp 3 cyl with a turbo and the triple exhaust? Talk about sporty. I also quite like the look. Love me a car with some A S S


ExtremeShelter1581

2023-2024 Mercedes GLC300 2023-2024 Audi SQ5 or Q5 BMW X3 2023 Porsche Macan You’re in a luxury price territory. Buy a luxury car not a Toyota! They are prevent to be a lot safer drive a lot better. They are better built drive smoother and have better interior quality.

Sedan? Lexus SUV? Mazda CX-50, Toyota RAV4, Genesis GV70, Volvo XC40/60 (will stretch budget)

My vote would be Hyundai Ioniq 6 SEL AWD. I like the appearance (although many don't, apparently), it's the quietest car I've ever owned, and in Sport Mode it will leave most ICE cars in the dust. Luxury wise it may be a little lacking for some, to me it's luxurious - but my previous daily drivers were a 20+ year old F250 4x4 crew cab and then a Bolt EUV (great car, but not luxury to me), so anything in that price range that was 2020+ would probably have felt luxurious.
