thanks for a link,but it still doesnt say anything bout maintanence and repair costs for those carz......

I'd choose the IS300, its probably the most reliable car out of all the ones you mentioned. Insurance wont be that bad because its a 4dr sedan and not some super fast speedcar. You also have the option of modding the IS300 to make it somewhat quicker. If something breaks on the Lexus, it wont cost as much to get it fixed as it would with VW, BMW, Audi.

I would choose the IS300 also considering your question, maint/repair costs. Personally I would take the BMW but definately not a 323, 328 or 330 is more like it. VR6 I wouldn't even consider.
