Soon after I scrapped my first car, I picked up a 2000 maxima for $6k in 2006. I held on to this for a solid 4 years before it started randomly stalling, a problem nobody seemed to be able to diagnose.

In 2010 I picked up my first luxury car, a 2008 Lexus IS350 for $27k. This car was smooth operator.... butter smooth transmission and 3.5L V6 which, for the time, was so quick. Held on to this car for 6 years and never gave me a single problem. I finally sold it in 2016 simply because I wanted something new.

2013 - I had just gotten married and we needed a 2nd car, so I purchased my first ever SUV, a 2010 Lexus RX350 for about $30k.

In 2016 I purchased my first ever new car, a loaded 2016 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400, which, after some insane discounts from Infiniti, I paid about $56k (Had an MSRP of $65k). But after a few years I just couldn't get over the lazy transmission and the wonky steer-by-wire system. Plus the infotainment was so outdated.

Man I love those wheels on your G80!
