Contestant number one come on down!!
I know everyone likes these so here is my challenge to you. Find me a car to fit the following criteria
WANTS: Daily driver. Must be less than $7k, and preferably less than 100k on it, but exceptions might be made. I drive about 20k miles a year in SoCal, so comfy ride and auto for traffic jams is highly preferred. I’ve got my bike when I want to have fun and the road to work is packed with traffic and stop signs. Heated/cooled seats is the only toy that I would love to have.
DOESN’T WANT: I tend to avoid Japanese cars. Not because of their appliance nature, but because they tend to be very over priced in the used market. But if you find a good deal, I will definitely look. Also, I would prefer to avoid “Le Stick” (aka manual trans, heresy I know). Like I said, I’ve got my bike for my speed, clutch, cornering fun; and IMO, even a boring bike will always beat the most exciting cars anyway.
Here is my top contender so far. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in case of Kinja

Heated/cooled seats, check. Auto, check. Comfy, maybe? I still need to test drive it to find out.
Bonus points if you find one in SoCal.

Those are some pretty tough constraints... Wanting heated and cooled seats forces the car the likely be only a few years old, less than 100k miles raises the prices, and a 7k budget chops off a lot of options.

Agreed, not a requirement, but I want if possible.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

I’m thinking a Taurus like that is a perfect match. They are wicked comfy, decent power for a snoozemobile, and becuaee of the name alone the used prices are cheap.

That Taurus is a win.
Nice cars are so cheap and readily available in SoCal...

This particular one is over your budget and out of state, but a 9-5 Aero wouldn’t be a bad choice. Heated and cooled seats!

In SoCal that’s a pretty decent budget (I used to live down there). From a PNW perspective that sounds like a ridiculously low budget, but cars depreciate a lot faster down there.
If I lived there I never would have bought my FoST new because the used prices on more interesting cars are so low there that justifying a new car (even though I drive them forever) is practically impossible.

I’ll play... This could be fun.

2004 CTS
2007 LaCrosse
And here’s probably a really bad idea...

I like them, the LaCrosse would probably fit my needs the best, the the 9-3 is calling to me
