What to buy for 50K?
I know this is a pretty broad question...but previously posted...my brother sold his 2008 Range Rover SC this morning...we are again shopping in the states...for a car that is maximum 50K USD...
Here are his requirements or preferences....
Has to be 4 door,preferably NOT a SUV,has to be 2008 or newer,has to be automatic,..he doesnt want a LS....i suggested the IS-F but he thinks its too small..he has one child and wants another...he is looking for performance,4 doors,great handling and sharp looks...
I had suggested the Jaguar XF SC..but hes not sold on it yet...
Just looking for some responses...I have thought of all I could...he prefers at least a 2009 model but if I can find a great deal on a 08 he might bite.
Thanks in advance.

There's the option of used M5, E63, and S6. I just searched AutoTrader, and some of the 08s are starting to dip under the 50k mark, depending on mileage. I'm not sure what kind of mileage your brother is looking to stay under and how he feels about german cars, but all three definitely can perform. Looks on the models are more a personal taste that your brother would have to look into. I personally think all of the three sedans look handsome in their own way. The S6 has AWD which is a plus up there in Canadia

a NEW GS350 cost about $50K USD, so what would the point of getting used be?
For $50K he has unlimited options really, depending on what his preferences are. He can get a loaded 2008 S550 4Matic for that money. I've even seen S63 AMGs advertised for around $50K as well...

That is pretty broad. I recently tested an Audi S6, understated good looks, V-10, AWD and it was fantastic, one of the best vehicles I've driven. It is hard to find but it is in that price range.
As stated a F-sport GS 350 fits the bill too. You can find used M5s, E55s easily under 50k now.
