Honestly I would get a used CPO about 3 years old when they are coming off lease. Luxury cars depreciate about 40% just off lease so you usually pay what a similar consumer grade of the same size. Audi CPO get factory warranty out to 6 years or 100k miles

Another thing I’d offer is an Audi SQ5. Test drive one and they are nice. Decent speed and will go anywhere in almost any condition. Plus the interior is much stepped up from standard Audi interiors.

Lexus will have the best reliability and resale value, but they aren’t the most fun to drive.
The IS is a smaller exec style sedan, the GS is bigger, and the RC is a coupe. All of these should be available new in your budget. Adding fun makes things problematic. BMW is probably the best bet, but they are not exactly known for a trouble free long term ownership experience. |

I have work trucks I can use for when I need a truck. My 5'2" wife doesn't want to have to crawl up into a vehicle every time we stop. I guess I should have put one or two more qualifiers...while I have wanted a 911 for probably 25 years I live in very rural SouthWest Virginia. So things like Bentleys and Porsche not only stand out in an outrageous and ostentatious way there would also be issues taking them to a dealer of need be which is a minimum of hours away. I do appreciate all options to consider though. |

Hold off a year or two then pick up a gently used Porsche 718.
EDIT; Guess thats not luxury though. As said earlier, Audi RS5. Older one with the V8, not this new V6 nonsense |

New: That price range puts you BARELY at E class and 5 Series. Probably better off getting a Lexus GS or Infiniti Q50 with decent options
Used: The world is your oyster. For 60k, you can get a 2016-2017 Escalade, Higher end E class or 5 series, ~4 year old S class or 7 series (both sticker for 100k new). |

Puts you in low milage '16-'17 years for a Jaguar XJ with the supercharged 5.0
Nice cars, comfortable and a delight to be in. Fantastic road manners. Cheaper to buy and own than a high end luxury car.  Attached File |

I have both the Audi S4 Avant and the RS5, so I'm a bit partial to them. They aren't my only cars though, allthough all my cars have V8s in them including the 69 Bronco and F-550.
In that price range there is a lot of low mile used available, not a fan of Lexus as I find them boring as fuck to drive. I would recommend test driving a bunch of cars before you decide. |

2018 Audi clearance
OP, check the link out, it should be pertinent to your interests. Personally I'd be looking at CPO Lexus as many have mentioned, if you intend to buy and keep it. Many of the others are great to lease, but not what you want to buy and keep. But those deals that are being discussed in that link would be very hard to beat especially considering you don't care about the big motor performance trim levels. $50 - 60k is plenty when you don't care about the high performance models. |

Audi A7 would probably be in your range.
Maybe an s7 if you stretch a bit or get one that’s a few years old with lower miles. I love mine, very comfortable ride and the s7 has plenty of get up and go. |

You could get into a used Audi R8 or Nissan GTR in the 60s... High end of your range though. And more sports car than luxury car.
I see Porsche Panamera Turbos pretty cheap these days. Picked up an Audi SQ5 for the wifey, well with in your price range and quite nice, fast, and capable. New Q8 is sweet, maybe could pick up a used one in your price range in the next several months. I also see Audi RS7s in the high 60s. I've also seen some used Austin Martin Rapides (4 door V12) in that price range... Not sure how reliable though. |

New
Infinity and Lexus are well optioned in the prince range Used RWD Jaguar XJR is a bargain with a CPO. Super nice and fast. CTSV are a bargain used 2nd and 3rd gen. 2014 CTS v-sport are a bargain ATS V are a super bargain but small Higher end AWD I’m very happy with my Panamera Turbo S. It blows away pretty much all other options on luxury and performance. The XJR is the only one that compares on the interior. You’d have to get to 2011-2013 model years for the turbo shot n your price range. You might find a 2014 GTS 2014-2015 in that range. E63 S 2015 ish have really dropped on the used marker and are a heck of a car. Audi S6 is a bargain used with low miles but they have some turbo issues with higher miles |

It's a W12 layout 4 banks of 3 twin turbo. same design as the Passat W8 and the Bugatti W16. Except the bentley is easier to take care of then a bugatti and is a hell of a lot nicer than a Passat. The Panamara or a Porsche would be fun too. Both are good options. Quoted: Cheaper ones in the link I posted on 1st page |
