Well, let's take the high number: $47K

The closest thing to it would be an Audi, with quattro. You would need to get an Audi A6 4.2 to match it in horsepower, and that's gonna cost you in the mid to high $60s.

A BMW 5 with a V8 would be about the same, without AWD.

A Mercedes E-Class 550, without AWD would be high $60s as well. I just bought one for work.

Resale value? No track record, so it will be low, but you have less going into it. The real deal would be as a leased executive business car, and that's where it should shine.

...but as good as this promises to be, I miss my black 89 SHO Q-ship. Only giveaway was the block letter "Yamaha" lettering I affixed to the right corner of the trunklid. Few tickets received driving that thing.
