My budget is between $25k-$30k and I'm looking for any used high-performance/luxury car. I don't care if it's too old, just past 1988 at least and up until 2006 would be perfect but then, it wouldn't be a good car... I'm looking for something similar or better in performance/specs/reputation for a 1999 E430 Mercedes-Benz which I already own (0-62mph 6.8'ish sec+295hp+all-leather int+Bose sound system). The 2001 BMW 740i or 1996 SL600 or 1995 Porsche Carrera are all great examples. For their time period, they were very high-end cars and I'm betting are still better than your average 2007 Infiniti and what not in this price range. So any suggestions?

hence the word "former"
my friend's 1996 SL600 was a high-end car back in the day, it still kicks *** and is valued around $20k so yes, $30k is more than enough for any old high-end car

Step up to a 2000+ S500 for a great sedan with lots of power and incredible luxury. They can be had in the price range you are looking.
For fun in the sun, you can get a previous generation SL500 for under $30K (models up through 2002).
A BMW 740 is a nice car. Similar performance to the S500, sportier handling, but trades that for not as comfortable of a ride.
You can also get some late 90's Porsche 911's arounnd the price you are looking for.

You can find late 80's and early 90's Lotus 4 cyl turbo Esprits in the price range. The Esprit is in the same catagory as porsches and low end ferrari's. If flash is what you are looking for the Lotus may be it but reliability was never its strong suit. It is a British sports car. 400hp and Exotic car looks never hurt though.

We had a Graco Snugride with extensive stroller. If I had it to do as quickly as extra, i might get a carseat i wanted per significant beneficial factors (front harness adjuster, section result secure practices, 5 factor harness, etc) and get an basic little one seat physique stroller. i might later get an remarkable stroller with each and all the beneficial factors i wanted (basic to apply, push with one hand, folds small, etc). My new well known little one seat is the Chicco Keyfit. It has super secure practices for toddlers and installs genuinely.

You can get a really nice, low-mile, recent Audi for 30k,
Benz and Beemers have among the lowest reliabilty out there.

25-30 is cheap for a "very high end" used car.

might not what you expect, but test-drive a Mazda RX-8. it is a super-cool car largely unsung.
