Car recommendation

My friend is looking for a car for around 15k. He is more interested in luxury then speed. I have been trying to convince him on a used wrx, but he isn't that interested. Any suggestions?

It's not really luxury, but an '05 Legacy GT might interest him.

99-01 Lexus GS or an IS300 can be had for about that much. Good luck.

+1 on the IS300. Sporty, yet luxury.

Or if he's into German, a 3 Series.

I think the IS300 is a good choice, styling has aged well and hell its a lexus so you know its runs like a swiss watch

It should be right for the first generation. For the new body style, probably not

Thanks for all the input. He is interested in an A4 and has been looking for one I guess for some time. I did recommend and IS300, BMW 3 series and Acura TL to him already. Out of those three he is pretty much interested in the Lexus, however I guess a friend of his at work has one and he doesn't want to be a biter haha. I would personally go for the Lexus if it was me.
