\u2013 forgot the gun.<\/p>\n<p>So take a tip here, and when it does come time to trade up the old car for a new one, don\u2019t forget to check out all the cars that sit in your price range because

$50k\u2013to-$80k mark.\u00a0 If you can run to this many \u201cjolly green giants\u201d, then you\u2019re going to go passed most Hyundai, Ssangyong, Ford, Nissan, Toyota, and Honda cars in search of something a little more exotic.\u00a0 Yes, there are even a few BMWs and the odd Audi cars you can buy for this sort of money, but what about something a little rarer and interesting?<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of cars worth a look, and believe-you-me some of these cars are very nice, high-end luxury cars with plenty of performance, comfort and safety:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10585\" style=\"width:
