Used 98+ Acura NSX, used 98 Supra tt, used Porsche 997-maintenance would be a concern, used E46 M3-maintenance also concern. Sports cars
Acura RL, Infiniti M45,
used Mercedes CLS, used AMG E class, used Merc CL, Merc SL, used Audi A8, S5 S4, reliability a big concern though for German cars, last year Lexus LS430 with rear seat entertainment. Luxury cars

OK, this is one of those threads that is just run on pure opinions,so im going to start of with that. My friend and i have a conversation about why people buy brand new decent cars, when for the same price you could buy a ferrari, lamborghini, rolls royce, heck your dream car. For 50 grand, you could get an nsx, 348 ferrari, 355 ferrari, even a rolls royce or bentley for 50 grand even less, why not? Maintnence? i mean thats the only possible reason i could think of for not buying a car like this. So heres the question, why or why not would you be an exclusive car like this for 50 grand or less, and what would it be?
My car would be a 1988 ferrari 348 or 2005 maserati grandsport

I was indeed pleased with the new TL (see my review), but, good as it is (though I, admittedly, only test-drove the FWD model and not the AWD version yet...it won't be out till November), the RL, IMO, still beats it handily in several areas........areas that I consider important. The RL is, IMO, the best street car that Acura has ever done. Its build solidness is like a tank, and its interior still outdoes the new TL's by a significant margin. The RL's power-to-weight ratio is not quite up to the new TL's, but I don't consider brute acceleration and 0-60 times that terribly important for everyday driving.
