Those are my SUV picks

Sedan Picks

2003 Mercedes E500 or 2003 Mercedes C32 AMG or Audi S4 (v8) or 2002 M5 or 2003 LS430 or Jaguar S Type R

What is your SUV choice and what is your sedan choice and why

Basically looking in the $33k - $38k range - used.

Default E500 or S4 for sedan & VW 'reg for SUV.

The E500 is a nice sedan as is the S4. the S more sporty, the E more cushy.

The Touareg is better than any of those SUVs you listed & you should be able to get the V8 for under $38k.

Default Toureg and base Cayenne, or M5 or S4...

The Touareg and Cayenne are very nice rides for SUV's. I like how refined they are inside and out. They are very solid and feel comfortable.

The Infiniti is nice as well but for the price they go for I expect more. I never test drove one so I can't comment any further on it.

As for sedans, it depends what you are looking for... If you want a sports sedan s4 or M5 are great.

If you want a cushy ride then I'd go for E500 or even the S430, C32 AMG is nice but I find it rather small.

Default Cayenne I like but they are about 42 used and not a fan of the toureg styling

I like the beefy looking SUV's

Default that's the usual price for the S model...but to get it in your price range you probably have to shop

outside of your area.

I can be done $36-38k private party.
You can get the base model for about $33-35K.

I was in the market for one and then I made the mistake of test driving the Cayenne Turbo. There's no turning back now but I can't justify $70K for a SUV. So that was that.
