Default What's the best 4-door sedan for under 30k - used and new?

I am wanting a nice 4-door sedan. It doesn't have to be new. What are your opinions? Remember to stay under 30k.

Since I've always had such great luck with Hondas, my vote would be an Accord V6 or used Acura.

NEW - For $31,000, my vote would be the TL or CL Type S... personal experience gives them the win over the Audi A4, BMW 325/328...

USED - BMW M3... a fantastic, tight sedan without the headache of turbos...

Where can you find a used S4 for under 30k??? The WRX is too small, I think I want something a tad bigger. Keep em' coming!

Hmm, used GS300-400? I think an earlier model might be had for less than 30k. And you know the bulletproof reliability of Lexus as well as the customer service would make it an excellent candidate.

A convertible Toyota Solara or an Avalon can be had for under 30k. The Nissan Maxima and the new Altima are also great choices.
