Selling the Evo, need a luxury car....

Hi Evo Owners,

It's sad but I'm will be parting my 05 EB Evo soon and needs some suggestion for a luxury car (with performance). Max is $30k, any suggestions?

With only a $30k max budget, your choices are pretty limited .

I suggest:
1. B6 Audi S4
2. E46 M3
3. Might be able to find a 335i
4. MB C55

2008 evo x mr it's not luxury but seats and navi are nice, but If it were me and I was set on a "luxury" car I'd be looking for an sts. I've always had a soft spot for those caddies for some reason.

Lets see, my '03 came with power steering, power brakes, airconditioning, sunroof and the best seats on the planet. What is your definition of luxury?

Test drove a G35x and the Acura TL Type S comes up on top..even though the G35x has more HP. It just seem like the Type S has more pick up...also I like the look of the Type S more!

I do like the BMW M3 but they are too expensive and plus they are RWD! Shouldn't new cars that are RWD have settings that can help them perform in the snow?

I don't know if I could ever buy another Evo. I mean I don't do anything with it except wash it and store it in the garage. I don't deserve this evo, someone else who buys this will be very lucky..low miles 21900..stock..SSL pacakge
