I don't think I have negative equity in my 530xi. I got it for $42,500 (sticker was $69,700) w/ 19K on the odo when it was a year old. I got the remainder of the factory warranty (3 yrs) plus 2 more years for CPO. I didn't start putting money into it until it surpassed the 100K mark which was just after I finished paying off the small loan I took. It's at 141K now and I have put $6000 total into it over the last 3 years

It's a wagon-no one wanted them back then. I found this one in Chicago which was transported to Mannheim for the auction. I picked it up there.

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
Well, a quick quip about Volvo reliability:
I have owned two, a 1999 V70 (bought in 2000, sold in 2004), and my current 2013 XC90. Both cars have been solid. The V had a window switch and a thermostat replaced under warranty, and I upgraded the brake rotors because OEM Brembo was shit. The XC has 27K miles on her (driven from Germany, to Norway, then Italy and Hungary) and a small sunroof leak is all she has had.
Not a great sample size, but both built in Sweden, and they have been worth what was paid ($26K for the V and $41K for the XC, which was 8K below US prices). I tend to keep cars for a while, but new for me gets warranty that is needed overseas. CPO really is not an option.

So i think you just to search for this car online on the sailing and buying sites as like olx and other in the different countries so you just picked up you desired car and contact with the dealer and got your Sedan or whatever.

I think it was talked about earlier, but have you thought about the GS350 F-Sport? It gets pretty good reviews and is not at all like your stereotypical Lexus. I'm in the market with similar requirements to you, probably going to get the GS350 F-Sport.
MSRP is ~$60K but you can get one for low 50's or get a CPO 2013 for even less.
Fun to drive, even won a comparison on Motortrend against the BMW and Audi - but doesn't win in all the comparisons out there and the spindle grill isn't for everyone.
I know you're in the process of test drives, but thought you might want to give it a consideration...

Get it!
A6 has the same spec as A7 with like $10k off the price.
