Either one of those cars are great for what you are looking to get out of them. I would also add the following:

Audi A4
Infiniti I30 (essentially the same as the Maxima but more upscale)

I'd go for a 1995-1999 Nissan Maxima SE with a 5-speed manual transmission, but since you're looking for an automatic, I'd say go for either the Maxima or the 1992-1996 Toyota Camry V6 LE/SE/XLE.

106K miles to high for a 99 I30?

Re: $10k for a used car?

It's hard to judge a car's condition based on miles alone. I've seen cars that are in terrible shape with around 80k miles on them, and I've seen cars that drive like new with over 150k miles on them. An Infiniti I30 should last well over 106k miles, but it would be best to make sure all proper maintenance was carried out in the car's life and that it is in reasonably good condition first.

Re: $10k for a used car?

Didnt realize the 99-00 Audi A4 was only 9-11k. How is the auto with the 1.8t? Damn if I get a tubo I wont be able to leave it stock though.
