I’m nearing retirement age, and I want a nice large sedan. It should be safe, quiet, reliable and comfortable for freeway traveling, but not too flashy or expensive. $40k maximum budget, but I’d prefer to stay well under that.
Steve Lang: It all depends on what you like. In fact, your tastes can pretty much be served by a buffet full of models these days. Name your Buick. Name your Lincoln. In fact, Toyota is rapidly becoming the ‘mature’ brand of choice with a few Hyundais, Fords, Chevys and even a loaded Accord faring well with the retirement crowd.. My top choice would be the Lexus ES350. It rides and drives better than a Mercedes S-Class of a mere few years ago with far better fuel economy, easier handling, and that unique understated ostentation that makes it ‘nice’ without being snobbish.

Right on, mountainman! Some the B&B need to get a clue. I just hope Almost Retired doesn't regret writing in.
535i sounds like the best suggestion here. Live a little!
