Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL. Only restriction is that I’d like to keep my monthly costs at no more than $600-$700/month (including insurance, financing / fees, etc; have a parking spot already). Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?

Got a BMW 330i M Sports package (36 month lease) and loving it - matches your price point including insurance!

This. Best option available.

Not a daily driver - so basically a weekend cruise car? I think a lease would be a good idea (since you’ll have low miles). Genesis G70 has good reviews, and I’d suggest the 3.3T (not the 2.0T)

911. The answer to almost all questions.

Don’t worry about the absolute price. Look at some nice, used ones (say 50k) and treat them like a family heirloom. They don’t really depreciate. Buy, drive & sell at or even for a higher price.

Actually quite perfect if it’s not a daily driver imho.

Evidence: Been driving a 2002 911 Turbo for the past two years. Will be selling at a big loss due to COVID now but still only comes down to about $10k for 20 months. Plus maybe $1,500 in maintenance. If I had the luxury of time, could probably sell breaking even.

Are you thinking coupe or sedan?

You could do BMW Gran Coupe if you wanted to have a 4 door with a sporty body. Mercedes A-Class AMG is another solid sedan. Mercedes has the CLA coupe but I’m not sure what to think of it’s unique curvature
