$50K will buy you just about anything!
How about a Dodge Durango? Ours is a 2002, but I love it.

Dude - $50K?? that's a LOT of money for a car - what are you needs?

Hahaha! LULzzzzz
I bought a 1997 BMW 318i on ebay a couple of years ago. It's now got close to 240,000 miles on it and it runs like a champ. Still looks sharp too! I recommend Bimmers. You can't go wrong. Plus if you buy it from someone in another part of the country you can fly out and make a road trip out of it like I did!

For that money, I'd go with the Audi A-6, loaded.

i think he means 50k miles
but, if it were $50k, I'd take my Cadillac EXT with pearl white paint, and custom pearl painted rims.

For the most bang for your buck, so to speak, get something bullet-proof and ride through dicey neighborhoods on Friday nights.
My personal pipe dream is an Austin Healey convertible, in British Racing Green.
