If you are fine w/ buying used, get a '98 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC. Great looks, RWD, 290HP 32V 4.6L w/ lots of potential, every option imaginable, HID headlights, $40G's+ new. Since lots of old people own them finding one under 20K miles isn't hard and you can get it for under $23K. W/ a few mods, you would have one hell of a sleeper and be rolling in ultimate luxary.
Also, check out the Acura 3.2CL Type S. I know its foreign, but for the same price as the Lincoln, I thinks its a much nicer car. It pulls high 14's w/ a 5 spd auto, 260HP V6 Vtec, Navigation system, and all the other stuff for $32K. Also, its resale w/ be high then the Lincoln. Just some food for thought.
