Looking for 2nd car
I'm looking for a second car and most likely going to replace my FD as a daily driver. I am keeping the FD, but I need something more friendly as a daily driver meaning being able to seat more than just 2 people. Can be 2 door or 4 door and I'm looking for something nice for if I need to pick up any kind of client. I'm not looking to spend anymore that $18k. Was possibly looking for something luxurious or something close to it.
Just looking for suggestions at this time.
Possible Considerations (if find for under $18k):
1999 BMW M3
2000-2001 BMW 325/328/330Ci
1999 Mercedes CLK430
1998-2001 Mercedes CLK320

Audi A4 could probably get a 02' for around 18k, 4 wheel drive nice lux feeling almost got a 00' or a 99' myself but the 8 just ate me alive when I test drove it.

You might even be able to find a used Chrysler 300C for under $18k? Dodge's depreciate like a rock but, at least in this case, that might work out well for you.

I'm able to find Dodge Chargers for below $18k all day long and I've sort of loved the way they look, but I don't know, they seem pretty cheap on the inside.

How about an RX-8? A lot of members of this forum seem to like them, not all, but many.
They're really forgiving with DSC and TSC, much more so than the FD, but still exhilerating to drive.

A recent Maxima or a Legacy GT can be had for under 20k now. Others to consider would be the TSX, '03 TL Type-S, G35 sedan. Lastly, the previous body style M45 sedan is selling for really cheap used, it's pretty bland in the styling department but they're nice cars and have good power.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think exterior styling is a non issue for this car as long as it is unassuming, the big deciding factor is interior luxury, and a "successfull buisness" look/feel to it With a failrly plush ride
You might look in to an Avalon, a used infinity, A Maxima , Maybe a Mercury, or a caddy

Audi A4 2002-2003 can be had below 18k. Will give you AWD and they look fairly nice. You can also go with a 2002-2003 BMW 525 or 530 good room and good handling if a bit slow. Caddilac CTS can also be had for cheap but the interior isn't all that impressive.
