Entry-Level Luxury Cars:
Lincoln LS, Cadillac CTS, Acura TL
If we were looking in the vast entry-level luxury market segment, we'd certainly try to find a clean Lincoln LS, with the Euro-look LSE body-color package, a 3.9-liter V8 engine, 5-speed automatic, taut European handling, and clean good looks, not to mention a boatload of standard luxury accoutrements, for around $24,000. Our choice for a good domestic competitor in the class would be the Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 automatic at $23,440. For a premium price, you could look into an Acura TL 3.2 V6 manual for $28,000, slicker and better looking than a BMW 3-Series.



2005 Ford Five HundredFull-Size Sedans:
Mercury Grand Marquis, Ford Five Hundred, Toyota Avalon
There are really only three players in this part of the market, and we think the Mercury Grand Marquis LS, with rear drive, a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and lots of interior space is a bargain at a KBB retail price of $16,080. For something even roomier and more modern, think about a Ford Five Hundred SEL AWD with a 3.0-liter V6 and automatic transmission, for around $18,390. Or, consider a roomy front-drive Toyota Avalon XLS 3.5 V6 at $25,240, pricy, but practically guaranteed to stay out of the shop.



2005 Cadillac STSLuxury Cars:
Lincoln Town Car, Cadillac STS, Mercedes-Benz E320
On the lowest tier of the luxury car market, cars that sold new for about $50,000 with options, there's quite a breadth of choice. Don't overlook the Lincoln Town Car Signature Limited, loaded with luxury gear, a 4.6-liter V8 and 5-speed automatic for around $25,840 retail in excellent condition. Its perennial rival, the front-drive Cadillac STS, comes with a Northstar 4.6-liter V8 engine, big sound system, navigation, and a lot of luxury extras for a bigger ticket, at about $33,100. A great value for those looking for a long-term relationship would be the Mercedes-Benz E320 with the 3.2-liter V6 engine and the excellent 4Matic computer-controlled all-wheel-drive system, retailing at $35,740.
