I’m looking to trade-in for an upgrade and get a new car. My current car’s trade-in value is around $20,000. I’m eyeing a Benz, specifically a 2020+ E450 but I’m also considering a C43. I’d go for a C63 but I want a sedan, not a coupe. I’d go for a E350 but I want something with a bit more power.

I’m also considering an Audi S4 as another option.

I’m open to any competitor recs if you guys have any (preferably not a Beamer or Lexus though). It doesn’t have to be European. Looking for something used but modern (2020+), reliable, luxury, and has good performance (it doesn’t have to have an overkill V8). My budget is $50,000 (factoring in the trade-in). I’m 26 working full-time.

I would appreciate some insight/recommendations. Thanks.
