idk, at this point give me a stereo that does bluetooth to my phone (I bet I can kludge one into anything) and something fun to drive and I'm in, literally dozens of options that tickle my fancy well under $20k and most could be taken to the track for a fun time if you're cool being the slowest car out there.
I guess I just really want to post a dissenting opinion, I don't get the appeal of >$25k sedan daily driver that doesn't check my fun box, personally.

I do agree on the cost of a new car, especially if you have to pay tax, tag and title. Buying a used one can cut the cost significantly. The key thing is getting the car as a Certified Pre-Owned so you'll get a full three year warranty. Plus registration and tax is a lot lower.
Example for Nebraska: Purchase a new 2015 IS350 at ~50K (will be cheaper after getting a few bucks off and trade-in). Below is what it will cost for tax and registration in NE... lol. I know other states it can be higher but damn! lol
OHHH And to ADD: that $740 motor vehicle tax, plate fee, and motor vehicle fee will be like $720 next year when it comes time for registration renewal... The used one I'm looking at will only cost $350 for registration. Man, 2015 to 2011 makes quite the difference!
