50g...

2006 Audi S4 Avant w/ 6spd manual.

This would serve my purpose of having a wagon to haul shit around for my gigs. And still give me the performance and fun of driving without having get an SUV...or give up a stick shift.

EDIT: Yes, just barely.

S4 Avant
Starting at $47,820*
Blindingly fast and undeniably practical, the S4 Avant is a 340 hp statement of what Never Follow is all about.

2004's had the most issues, 05's have much less issues..........06's should be even better.

Certainly not a Lexus, but the Touareg has an interesting personality....cool rig to look at and drive.
