Get a late model vw Passat. It looks like an Audi and you might fool unambitious gold diggers into thinking you're a middle manager for a Fortune 500 company. Until they realize you're a total sperg and leave, that is. At which point I presume you will start sniffing the passenger seat like a bloodhound before driving back home to retreat into mom's basement - wishing you had invested your life savings working at Hardees on a realdoll instead. But it's too late. It was always too late.

OP sounds like a bit of a but here's by recommendation.

Buy the newest Acura TL you can find in your price range (prob 06-08), preferably in black with chrome trim pieces. Sleek, professional, relatively classy, affordable, and reliable.

Don't fall for the BMW trap, there are tons of cheaper BMW's in your price range but thats because they're too expensive for most regular drivers to maintain once they break 70k miles or so. They'll be money pits. Avoid them unless you're an enthusiast with plenty of disposable income for inevitable repairs.

I'm more worried about him not having a woman in 28 years of life than height.

It's not so much that you're 5'8", just the 140 means you're a skinny little thing. Skinny guys can have more fun in roadsters because there's less weight. Cmon man don't get a suv/sedan. Girls love roadsters.

Men sexually peak in their 30's when they get the dad bod and dad vibes that early 20 year old girls love.

>sexually peak
that usually means there was some experience beforehand and we're talking about 28 not 21
>5'8" height and 140lbs
it's a long way for that dad bod
>dad vibes
guy seems like a turbo autist

>8/10 looks
>28 and hasn't had first gf
>only has 9k

End yourself.

That's a dirty hit bro

>5'8" height and 140lbs
>8/10 attractiveness
