Assuming you haven't already taken the plunge, try looking at 2002-2003 passats or even audi a4/a6's. You can get them for nothing right now, there is a decent tuner market out there for them and they are pretty fun to drive once the computer learns to get a little more aggressive.
My wife has one and we are having a hard time finding a replacement (don't like the looks of the new body style), but it has been a great car and the 4Motion is the best all-wheel-drive system I have ever used. That is borderline blasphemy seeing as how I am on my 3rd Range Rover, but it's true!
Good luck.
