I have a '03 Explorer and am contemplating on trading it off for a luxury car.My budget is 20G and I am unable to decide btwn Acura TL, BMW 3, Audi A4 and Cadillac CTS (miles btwn 20 and 40k).

Bmw's , I find are expensive with less features than what you get in Acura/Cadillac/Audi for the same price.I have never owned any of these cars and when I test drove 'em last week, I found out that the driving experience is better for BMW than the other cars.At the same time, I loved all the features of Acura like Navi ,sound system etc.

My Question is which among these brands would hold their value down the line in 3 to 5 years and are also cheaper to maintain?

 

By all means I would have to say that..I don't know.
Have a Escalade in the family and we have it in the shop constanly, brother had a BMW..excpensive to fix..but didn't break down very often. Audi..don't know nothing about them other than they are fast& Pretty..

Acura..good car..pretty...fast...and haven't had to fix yet..so I really don't know..Sorry!
