If you ask me just find the newest Mercedes you can buy for that much money. Thats what I would do here in europe at least. I am not sure about the market there in USA. Volkswagen passat are quite good as well and have great value for money.
I like Mercedes but I haven’t heard of Passat that must be a Thing just in Europe. I was also thinking Nissan or maybe some old srt but can’t find any right now thanks for the help
