Requirements:

Leather Seats
4 Doors
Good on gas
Reliable/ less expensive to repair
Not a Honda civic.

Price range is up to $8500

Thanks for any and all legit input guys.

So far my thoughts are 00-01 Infiniti I30, 00-01 Acura CL type S coupe/4 door sedan (my 2 door exception), Nissan Maxima
Shit, and here I thought you were casting away all pride whatsoever. You consider those "beaters". I' consider them nice cars. My paint shedding '97 Lumina is a beater. But it cost $500, and I've worked over the engine to get 25 mpg city and 34+ Highway, while running 9's in the 1/8. It'll never be pretty, so I made it fun. Nothing like beating up on people with an ugly car.

Being as you're into the budget suit and tie crowd, look toward older BMW's, and some '90's Lexus cars to fill your "beater" need.
