Trust me do NOT get an AUDI. I have had several and every single one has had a million problems. Matter of fact just got a letter in the mail today doing a recall on somehting for my AUDI now. My relatives have switched to the INFINITI's and just love them. They have a better engine then audies, are faster, and better quality. And they have yet to have one problem wih them. In addition when you get your infiniti serviced they actually come and get it for you and bring you a loaner car while they service it. And it's a great looking car go with the infiniti. Stay away from audis and vw also acura's have a lot of problems too my parents had two and they we're problem after problem too.
Best of luck

Of the ones you mentioned I'd go for the Acura TL. The 2003 model year is a pretty good buy right now, retailing for around $15,000-17,000 for a clean good miles one. This is the body style preceding the current one, so that's why the prices are so much lower than the '04's and up.
Judging by your stated income, with good credit, a bank or finance company will most likely limit your payment options to about $325-350. Your credit level will determine the interest rate, thus determining the total amount you'll be able to buy. To give you an idea, if you receive a rate of 6.9% for 60 months, you'll be able to finance about $16,450 for $325 per month. But, if your interest rate goes to the subprime level, say 18% at best if subprime, then your total amount to finance will be about $12798 for $325 per month. If that's the case you might have to consider other makes and models. Plus, subprime lenders are very selective of the vehicles they finance. They usually want a car 2000 or newer with 50,000 miles or less.
Now, with those payments in mind, and those are the HIGHEST that a bank would most likely allow you (it's 20% of your monthly income), that chews up a pretty good portion of your income. Then with insurance on top of that, it won't leave you much room for any repairs. So it's imperative that you get a relatively low maintenance vehicle. The mentioned Toyota's, Honda's, Acura's are good, but don't overlook the Hyundai's, Ford's, and GM's. These 3 makes of cars can be found for great prices and have factory warranty to boot!

Go for a Honda or Toyota. The maintenance on the vehicles you mentioned will kill you.

Get the Audi, it is the most luxurious of all of them. Maybe a BMW if you want something that screams LUXARY! Go with what you feel is best, not what we tell you, trust me.
