Need advice on new/used car!!!

OK,


So many of you may have followed my "Vibration Still!!!" thread on my E53. Sadly i still have a vibration and have decided not to fix it anymore. As long as your not over 65mph it drives like new lol. I would like to trade it in but it has exactly 150K and according to KBB ill get roughly in good condition about 7200. Ill prolly go to the dealer and see in person what they can give but i dont expect much. Thus i have been thinking about this. I have literally spent 6Gs this year into it (that includes tires etc) I count it all. Now if i trade it in for less than 10G then its not worth it. The car works so all I will be doing is getting my 6Gs back plus some change and loose a fully fucntional car. Its just stupid, when i can keep it and drive till the wheels fall off.... now i have been looking at getting a used but nice car as a daily driver. I even consider some 87-89s bmw 3 series.

But so far i have found
1) 2006 109,443 MB C-Class C230 4dr Sport Sdn 2.5L OEM radio
2) 2006 109,443 MB C-Class C230 4dr Sport Sdn 2.5L non-oem radio & rims
3) 2005 109,438 MB C230 KOMPRESSOR 1.8l supercharged
4) 2006 89,244 BMW 330 I PREMIUM
5) 2003 127,414 BMW 3 Series 325CI
6) 2004 55,238 BMW 3 Series M3 2dr Cpe
7) 2008 35,009 INFINITI G35 JOURNEY PREMIUM

Now all these are under 25Gs ( 4,6,7) and some are under 15Gs ( 1-3) and the 10gs (5)

What are my goals: fun car nothing crazy just a nice all around car. Pay all cash no payments (except for those right under 25Gs).

Basically i would like to buy something or one of those up in the list or similar. But I would like something thats not as demanding to maintain as my X. i dont mind spending 1G-2G a year in maintenance. Anyhow I Would like for you guys to give input if you have driven anyone of those or heard things about. I have been doing my own research on other forums but This is my "home". Thanks
