In no particular order, 30Gs, i would buy:
1. 5 or 7 series
2. E46 M3
3. S4
4. H3
5. Lotus Elise (not sure if 30Gs are enough)
6. AMG Benz
7. SLK or CLK
8. Boxster S
9. base Cayenne, may be "underpowered" but hey....its a Porsche
10. Touareg

I'll get something with less than 40K mileage as possible and get the newest one.

Yes you can....you just need to be patient and wait...buy from private rich old guys who got at least 5 cars in their garage....most often than not..they got very very low mileage cars and rarely, they are driven hard and barebone stock.

I'd personally get a 1 year old Mercedes C230 Kompressor. It's 4 door, 6spd, navigation, and is nice as hell for the $. You can get a fully loaded new one out the door for $35k, so a 1 year old should be under $30k.

Nick seriously if you have 30K, buy that M3. If you don't buy the M3 I say CTS. My mom has had hers since June of 02. I love it.

yea the CTS is dope for sure. does hers have a navigation system?

the m3... im tryin to buy a car that i will not even have to add fuckin wiper fluid to for at least two years after purchase lol. i need something low mileage that requires zero maintenance. with the M3s modifications, id say that car has been up in the RPMs a lot more than most other cars have. a lot of gears have probably been missed and all that good stuff too. for what i want, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to jump into something like that. our 03 330Ci is in and out of the shop all the time. i cant imagine what M3 parts cost.

plus im in no rush really. i can wait it out for a really good deal on a low mileage car. id love to have a damn deville to roll around in but i realized id look like a 55 year old man in one of those lol. the CTS is a nice blend.

keep all opinions/suggestions coming. id like to hear from someone that owns a range rover...

ps my dick is a few inches too long for a mercedes and ive got a tatoo so a volvo is out of the question. but keep the rest of em comin
