Sell your soul for this car. This is perhaps the best driving sedan available. Acceleration is instant and brutal right off the line on up to any speed you want to try. Flooring it off the line will invoke ASR and leave everyone pinned to their seats. Handling is ultra precise with immense grip. The lowered stance and flared fenders look outstanding yet are still mature and stealth. Drive the car at 1/3 or 1/4 throttle and your passengers are cocooned in utmost comfort. The adaptive suspension resolves the ride/handling argument as well as anything to date. One dig in the throttle awakens the car with a deep V8 growl that mutates into a fierce roar that sounds great but never gets intrusive or loud. The seats are bolstered to match the car's handling potential.......

I seriously think a used cadillac would be a good option. Their certified pre owned warranty is the best around with a 6 year bumper to bumper 100000 mile warranty. I think you could probably pick up a 99-00 cadillac for around that price. GM has 4.9 financing on them as well. They are not a mercedes or BMW but its still a 3 to 4 year old 40-50 thousand dollar car with low miles for that price is a good deal.

I might be off a bit with the years and such.. good luck with your search
Edit: I'd probably try to find a '96 Mercedes E-Class... but that's just me (they're probably unreliable).

How much is the warranty?

The newest LS400 & GS300 that you can find.
Or a 98-ish Infiniti Q45 or Acura RL.
I'd avoid German luxury cars in this price range.

You should could consider getting a Hyundai. Seriously, you can't beat that warranty!
Btw, i highly...let me repeat, HIGHLY doubt you could find an E36 for sub $20,000 that will last you more than a year w/o dropping a couple hundred within the same year.
Goodluck finding one for $15,000 below 100,000

actually i have a friend right now that is trying to get rid of his '97 M3 for ~19k, i think...I asked him how much he wanted to get for it but i forget exactly, it wasnt 20 though. It is running perfectly fine and has a badass stereo. They do exist under 20 that are still great.
