So any suggestion on cars? i have about 11k and looking for a reliable, luxurious, sporty and all around nice looking car. This is what the criteria the car has to have -Automatic -Nice Black Leather -Nice OEM Sound System -OEM HID -Reliable!! -AWD Perfer -Automatic As of right now we are looking at 2000+ bmw 330ci and 2002+ , what else should i look at? We used to have a 2000 A6 2.7T that car was amazing…just looking for something slightly different ---

> [@IKSHO89](#): > > B5 S4 I would be difficult to find a reliable B5 S4 for $11k. Most have been out of warranty long enough for people to start to ignore the little problems and just sell them when the repair bills start to pop up. Plus he’s already had a 2.7T so he probably wants something different. ---

Not sure the desire for black leather. I have it in the GTO and on a sunny day the interior of the car is a fucking oven. I really miss the tan leather of my Expedition. ---

For the options you want, your choices are rather narrow for the price range. Besides german cars I can’t think of anything besides what you had, and maybe a few BMWs. Subaru comes close to most of that but no HIDs in the year range you’d be looking. And the level or refinement won’t be nearly as close in a legacy in comparison to an Audi, or BMW. ---
