EDIT: I'm looking for more of a luxury car that a sports car.

I find the BMW to boxy unless you go to the 6 series. but thats out of the price range. I haven't seen the volvo's. I will look into them.

Corvette has to much road noise. I was thinking more of a luxury car that a sports car.

If your want Luxury, go with an M3 or a Ci......maybe even a Volvo ....possibly a Saab?

Most of what I'd normally suggest at that price point (Boxster, M3, 'Vette, etc) would probably ride a little harsh if you're looking for luxury.

A good choice at the low end might be an Audi A4 Cabrio. Nice interior, good looks (IMO), and not too harsh. If you're looking for something smaller, a loaded TT Roadster might work, it's more of a GT than many competitors.

Overall, though, I'd probably go with a CLK in that price range for a "luxury" convertible. A slightly used Jaguar XK8 might also fit the bill.

CLK is great but more than your price range prob.

my buddy just got a 33ci and it really rides well. i was not a fan, but am one now.
