Ok here's the rub: I'm staring down the barrel of 50 and I need a new car. I'm not a car guy. I roll hard in an Altima now. But need a little more flash. Looking for something in the 60k range. I've lived frugally my whole life, so don't mind spending that. I have a company car, so really only put 5,000 a year on it. Don't mind going a year or 2 used. Thoughts?

A classic car.
There's some very cool old stuff available for not much really.
Something from the 50s or 60s.
There is some great cars for under $30k

I'm hearing things about the Raptor. Worth the extra doe?

Love the way those look. Seems like they'd always need tinkering. I'm a mechanical moron

what is your budget OP?

Get a vette..
A very reliable sports car.

Durango SRT ???

I think the Dodge Ram series is an excellent truck and when compared to what Ford is axing, a great value in a full size Amurican Pickemup!

For a $100k no. But it’s a nice truck. Too much truck for just putting around town
-
I had a new company car every three years so my personal car was always a reliable looking junk car. Now I'm retired and the company car is gone. When I sell my house and downsize I always wanted a Cadillac. Rented a SUV Cadillac and it was the nicest car I ever drove. I don't care about fast anymore. I care about luxury and a fantastic ride.

Plus the instant douche factor. Wanna-be youtube celebrity types drive them.

the SVT Lightning were awesome! that is my all time favorite truck.
had the nice SVT wheels, good look - more of a low rider with a muscle car feel. loved those
-
Buy a used Jaguar.
They're cheap and good for your health - car will be breaking down in no time and you'll be frugally hiking to walmart and the gym.

XJR 100 (the R is the super charger version)
the 100 ... limited edition and can tell by the wheels.
l love and miss the big body jaguar's - throw back - i dont care for the rounded off jaguars of today.
OP
get a slightly used mustang GT convertible with a manual transmission (if you have a wife) get an automatic - you will be super happy, fun factor, little headache.
plus you can sell it whenever you need too - very liquid market

Yes they are,I had a 2011 for a short period and it was just causing me to be crazier than usual so got rid of it inside of 4 months.Always wanted the c63 and an R1 also got rid of that inside of a month.

Personally, I like the Toyota Tacoma TRD's with the hood scoop and offroad sport package. They're much less expensive, better on gas, and still have an agressive/sporty look to them.

Get a cheaper pick up and buy a trail bike or ATV
-
you can get some pretty nice cars in your price range.
-
Very nice vehicles..
He should also consider a used SL Mercedes..
We an Amg package..

A new car might make you feel on top of it for awhile, but you will still be staring down the barrel of 50. If it makes you happy, I say go for it. Life is short.

That Jag convertible is fucken awesome.

Let some idiot suffer the depreciation. Then pick up a luxury car or SUV for max 15,000 usd.
First owner, fully documented and purchase it at a reliable dealership
You'll drive off the lot knowing you made a great deal!
S-class, LS, XC90, something like that

DIY is one thing but not smart at picking up 10 year old S class or any euro car. Only hood rat ghetto ass people do this shit, I laugh even more when they have to dump even more money into maintenance that’s even more than they paid for the car 😂
-
If repairs / reliability are a worry, going for a used Lexus V6 or V8 can be smart imo. For an older first owner, you can find great buys for max 15,000 usd.

Flashy or fast?

Best bang for your buck and reliability would be a C7 Bette. No competition. The higher end pony cars don’t stand out but are monsters.

Does anyone know if V8nce has owned a 20 year old Mercedes S class?

If you're not a car guy it does not really matter what you get; you just want to get from A to B, right? But if you are looking for driving enjoyment look to a BMW, Audi, or a Benz. I have owned all three (in that order) and they provide real Fahrvergnügen (driving enjoyment). I currently drive a Benz GLE 43 AMG and truly LOVE driving it. The Sport+ mode is a very addictive! I thought my drag racing days were over... I was wrong. ;D https://www.mbusa.com/en/vehicles/class/gle/coupe/type-amg
You do not have to get the overpriced AMG version; the stock GLE is just as fun, but do not drive the AMG unless you know you want to buy it because it is very hard to go backward once you drive it. The downside of this vehicle is there are things I don't want to use the GLE for... like taking the dog to the beach or hauling stuff for home improvements... so I got a Tacoma TRD Sport for that--which I also love.
If you do not want an SUV almost any version of a Benz sedan will give you driving enjoyment.

Had that exact vehicle for about 3 years. One of the most fun all around vehicles I have ever owned. Got 25 mpg highway with a V6 no less.

He did get a 20 year old jag which has one of the worst reliability of any cars so close enough, a man of Vince’s caliber should own a 20 year old S class as well

Do you have to sit on a phone book?
