Edit: should preface this to say my budget is around $35-$40k. I’m not looking for a Ferrari...Y’all on Blind are crazy bougie. Just looking for not-a-civic... Looking to buy a luxury-ish car (probably CPO) that’s fun to drive (accelerates fast and has good handling) and looks good and I plan to drive it to the ground...I do this with everything I own, I buy a top of the line brand new or lightly used and I use it until the breaks. What brand/model should I go with? I like BMWs but heard they are highly unreliable and don’t last 10 years. Also, I want a coupe so small car. I don’t want it too big for parking in the city. I know it’s highly impractical for families but I just plan to keep the car and drive it to work by myself. Edit: looking to spend ~$35k can possibly push it to $40k for used. Buying a new luxury car is a bad deal.
Unless you have $500k saved up - get back to saving!

I’m not looking to retire early, I don’t want a house (too much space I gotta maintain and clean), and I want to treat myself. Also could die any day from some freak accident so as long as I can put food on the table and have emergency savings I don’t really care about saving half million...
Mercedes man. Can’t go wrong
Drive it for 10 years? Thinking about C class cus the CLAs are hella cheap and I keep on hitting my head on the ceiling...car is too low wtf?
E class is a better buy IMO. 10 yrs no prob even if you buy it 1-2 yrs old. I’d recommend splurging on an AMG package if you plan to keep it for 10+ yrs. they’re a kick in the pants!
TC/ YOE?
I'll go with lexus RC 2015. Then drive it into the ground. Lexus have marginally less repair/maintenance cost versus Audi, BMW and Mercedes. I just recently went through the buying a car shit and believe me this is the most reliable luxury brand
Did you buy new or certified preowned? I’m assuming CPO because you said 2015..
I bought a certified Lexus GS because my son... I don't want to move seat everyday to put him in and out. Otherwise I would get the 2015 Lexus RC
Porsche 911
2019 Audi Q3
Lol wat this fits none of my parameters..
2019 Volvo XC40 mini suv
I think OP has a different definition of 'luxury'
I guess I do. I just don’t want a Camry or civic. 😑
Tesla Model 3 or S and X after refresh next year
Audi A5 is a reliable car. I have a bmw 335i convertible for 3 years, and it bought 3 years old, and it hasn’t been too bad, ~1k/year in repairs on average
Not half bad suggestion but a quick search I see they are $44k for used. I wanted to cap it at $40k 😂 and not go too crazy with the lifestyle inflation. I can consider this as well, thanks!!
I’m sure you can get under 40k, just have to wait for inventory
