That's a loaded question. :)

Since you are not into modifying things for performance, I'd say stick
with the non-turbo V6s. The 1.8 turbos have had problems with sludge.
But the V6 gets you another A6 or downsize to an A4. IIRC, you are in
real estate, so if you need the space for clients, that probably rules
out the A4.

The '98-04 A6 would be your next step. Earlier than '98 and you have the
same generation as your '95. But if an A4 fits your lifestyle, you can
easily find them in your price range. I picked up my '99 A4 Avant last
December for $6200.  I like it a lot.
