    I just picked up an '06 Volvo S80 AWD. These things are a steal - well under your ceiling due to depreciation. The AWD model uses the 2.5T motor - a torquey, low-pressure turbo and pretty darn reliable. Nice spacious interior, perfect for carrying suits.

    You know you want a 5-series BMW. A 3.0 with a stick would be my choice.

    I knew someone would counter with ads . . .

    Anyway, I still haven't seen a used one for sale in the flesh. Seems like both the above are great prices.

    They show up... I've only ever seen one in the flesh for sale, and that was three years ago. I think it would be a great car to buy, as it probably will only appreciate in value at this point.
