Ok, my mom is in the market for a new\used car. Most likely it will be a used car, because of budget restrictions.

I have been suggesting she get either a IS300 or GS300
but she is also considering BMWs, mainly an e46 3series.

She just purchased a 2003 325i Sedan with 64k miles for 16000 out the door.
I advised agaisnt it because I know how expensive BMWs are to maintain.
She still has until Wenesday to return the car, if she chooses not to keep it.

So I need everyones opinion on what you guys think she should get.

Please voice your opinions as they all would be much apreciated, after voting please leave a comment on why you choose what you did. Thanks.
