Buy a Toyota Camry and put the extra money into the stock market.

[Smokin' Joe]

Get a "deals on wheels" and check out used 1950's-1960's vintage Rolls Royces....You should have enough to pick one up.

I would buy something useful and unpretentious, say a Jeep Grand Cherokee with all the bells a whistles and the 5.7Lt Hemi. Now that would be a car you male clients would drool over and the women love.

Since I'm a Honda fan, I would recommend an Acura. Nice upscale car with Honda reliability.

Toyota Highlander Limited (I've got one. . .excellent for carrying clients, excellent for comfort, excellent for just fun driving).

Buy the new (retro) Mustang convertible. It's an instant conversation piece and every passenger will be impressed. A ride with you in that car will be something not soon forgotten. It's not extravagant in cost but is WAAAAY COOL!
You will not be known as a boring guy who drives a Taurus.

Buy a used car... preferably about three or four years old so the car has trade-in value. Stick with a brand that has a "corporate" cachet to it - Cadillac, Infiniti, Lexus, Lincoln-Mercury and M-B are your best bets. Buy in cash and when it comes to the particular car the features are important than color. Ask the dealer lots of questions. When you narrow it down to a particular car you're interested in, run a Carfax check and have an independent mechanic inspect the car and give and opinion as to whether any costly repairs are needed. If the car has a clean bill of health, title and mechanical reliability wise, close the deal and enjoy the car of your dreams. Good luck!

The only way to travel...

I'm not kidding...

[Victor]

Look for a 2-3 year old Mercedes with low miles; the large sedans should go for around 30K.

Lexus would be another good bet. Nice, high end car and very reliable.

Buy from a dealer if you can, and get an extended waranty plan if the original warranty is expired. Most extended warranties when bought new are transferrable to the next owner.

I say this because nice, high end cars also require pricey parts and mechanic's fees when they do require service.

Good luck, sir!!

Used Lexus

Show em you take crap off of anyone....

[Vinnie]

[dakine]

'66 Chrysler New Yorker....

"my estemeed colleagues will not view with disdain"?

Impress them with the hard work you put in at the office and save your money.

[shattered]

Check out the Ford Freestyle..otherwise maybe an Explorer or a Maxima?

[Larry Lucido]

Hell with the clients. Get a babe magnet.

[LOC1]

Over the past 6 years I have purchased two "certified" used vehicles from Lexus. Both purchases have been very good experiences, and I still have both vehicles.

I am considering the purchase of a third vehicle and will probably buy either a certified used Lexus LS 430 or a certified used Lexus ES 330. Both of these vehicles will meet your requirements.

Do you want looks or speed?? Ambulances can travel at pretty good speeds, you know....O.K. I'm kidding you. I know you're not that kind of lawyer. But once in a lifetime, if you're lucky, you get a car buying question from a lawyer. I had to do it. I was compelled. Sue me.:)

Hunt down a 1965 Ford LTD, the car that was ACTUALLY quieter than a Rolls Royce.

390 V8, CruiseOMatic, A/C, Power Steering / Power Brakes, just update the sound system if necessary and you will be cruising IN STYLE, and I can assure you that your clients will be impressed with your restored classic (be sure to buy one that has been properly restored, fyi).
