Depends a lot on what you're looking for, new or used? If you want a car that's badass for that amt. of $ you're willing to spend I would go find a used certified low mileage C 43 AMG. The only other Mercedes I would consider would be a used SL 500.

Buy an 2005 C230 sport sedan for about 33000. Post in this forum https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203-3/ to get more info.

OK, please disregard the post above... A used C43 does not fit any of his requirements, is 6 years old, and is WAAAAAY below his price range....
the sl500 is just not for a twenty year old...

The obvious answer to your question is the 2005 c230 sport sedan if you are going new. Check out www.mbusa.com or search the c-class forum, many people have recently bought one here and posted pics and feedback on the car....

If you are going used, realistically, if you add 2-3 grand to your 35K, you should be able to afford some amg model, 2-3 years old, such as

2002-3 c32 AMG, 2000-2001 e55 amg, 2001 clk55

GL, let us know how your search goes...
