I read on edmunds that the C63 AMG was going as tested in the $90k range. Did I read wrong?

The $50k to $70k range is a really really tough spread as you can buy almost any decent car with that money (new or used)

You did not state if this is going to be your only car or not as that makes a huge difference in my opinion....

my suggestions on used:

Practical super sedans:
1) 2005/2006 E55/CLS55 AMG
2) Audi RS4
3) 05/06 e46 m3
4) 02/03 BMW M5

Used sports cars:
1) 02+ Acura NSX
2) 997 Carrera
3) SL series Benz
4) 2004 996 GT3

New cars:
1) C63 AMG
2) 2008 m3
3) Porsche Cayman
4) Skyline but not sure if it will be under 70k

All the cars mentioned above, except for the used NSX will cost $$$ to maintain. Keep that in mind!
