For $30K I'd sell you my 2010 Challenger RT only has 14K miles or less

For sheer daily-driving enjoyment, look at a 3-series BMW. But, if it's anything like mine, you'll want to sell it at 6-7 years of age or 65Kish miles. They get pretty expensive with maintenance items and little things going wrong after that.

A 2009 370Z Sport/Touring 31K with 6000 miles and a7 year New car warranty...

I thought of those too, but Lenie has his own little set of rules.

I've hated every Mercedes Benz I've ever driven. Slow steering, numb brakes.

I liken it to a big Caddy type cruiser instead of anything sporty with tight steering and braking. I don't even want tight steering in a daily driver anymore. Been there done that for years.

Have you driven a model with the E55's 516 ft-lbs engine?

[Vegas69]

I'm with you buddy. My S4 is driving me nuts. All you need to do is blow on the steering wheel and it changes direction. I've had it into the dealer twice for alignment and a new set of tires. Best driving car I have is the Camaro.
