Buying a new luxury car can be satisfying, often marking some achievement or milestone in the buyer’s life. But depreciation is a real thing, especially for luxury cars, so those with a mind toward saving money may find something better suited to their needs in the used market. Here are 10 of the best buys in the midsize luxury car segment for less than $20,000.

The 2014 Lexus ES’s reputation for excellent reliability, fine luxury features, and an available 40-mpg hybrid model make the ES a great pick. Kelley Blue Book even named it one of the 10 Best Luxury Cars Under $40,000 back in 2014. See used Lexus ES models for sale near you

Brand new for the 2014 model year, the Cadillac CTS sedan combines expressive design with impressive dynamics. A 420-horsepower twin-turbo V6 was the top (non-CTS-V) option, though buyers on a budget may prefer the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder. See used Cadillac CTS models for sale near you

The 2015 Infiniti Q70’s mix of rear- or all-wheel drive and responsive steering and handling make it the sporty choice, especially in regular wheelbase form.
