What luxury-ish car can I drive for 10 years?

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.

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

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

Oracle Poprocks OP Sep 3, 2018

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?

Amazon Programmin Sep 3, 2018

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?

Oracle Poprocks OP Sep 3, 2018

Don’t worry about it

Microsoft Kemw Sep 3, 2018

Fair enough

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

Oracle Poprocks OP Sep 3, 2018

Did you buy new or certified preowned? I’m assuming CPO because you said 2015..

Microsoft FreeD Sep 3, 2018

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

Oracle Poprocks OP Sep 3, 2018

I think OP has a different definition of 'luxury'

Oracle Poprocks OP Sep 3, 2018

I guess I do. I just don’t want a Camry or civic. 😑

What’s the difference between C class and E class? Also any specific reason you recommended the 2016 E400?

Oracle Poprocks OP Sep 3, 2018

Good to know thanks!
