For used cars Lexus is probably your best bet. $10,000 will NOT buy you a newer Lexus.

OK, you need help in a couple of areas. First, as loath as I am to recommend a Toyota product, you might check pricing on older Toyota Avalons. They are upscale from the Camry and downscale from the Lexus and have their quality. What I don't know is if they accommodate 6'5" height without modification of the seat tracks which would have to be done by a professional. Most cars do not, pickups tend to; so you may have to get into a truck to get the size you need. You will only get the fuel economy you want with a 4, but a 6 might be close enough; an 8 won't get it, nor will most trucks. As for the second item (and I'm not being a jerk, just trying to help you get a better job to afford a better car) let me rewrite your add correctly, and you study the difference for spelling and punctuation. I now drive a 2003 VW Beetle and am considering selling it and getting something new. I don't want to spend more than $10,000. I'm almost 6'5" so I need a large car, preferably a 4 door sedan. I would like 6 or 8 cylinder, but want to get no less than 18 mpg in the city. I'm used to nice, luxury cars and wonder if Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes and Lexus are possible choices. I like JEEPS, but they aren't the best for gas mileage. If you could please help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. I hope this helps you find the car you want AND the better job you need to afford it. Good luck.

I don't know what you think your getting to get new for the price range ... My two choices I would look at would be a Buick , If you have the money and like luxury look at the E-class sedan from Mercedes ..
