Why place so much emphasis on a nameplate? You truly don’t need it at a time if your life when your finances dictate a 5-10k car. They are called “luxury” for a reason. I completely agree but neither the OP, or I are talking about “true” luxury cars, we are talking about entry level, econo/luxo cars. Paying $8,000 for a used 325i is not nearly as bad as spending $18,000 on a 100k mile 745i or the like. But you are really preaching to the choir when you say this,because 2 of our members have highly depreciated $80k range rovers. I’d rather spend $25 grand on a used range rover any day over a brand new trail blazer, or rav4 ect. I hope i’m kind of getting the point across --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/trying-to-find-a-good-luxury-awd-sedan-opinions-needed/53771)._
