+1

For a car to be reliable and fairly easy to maintain after 100k miles, you may as well cross the german makes off your list if you like your wallet.

Look into the Infiniti G and M sedans, the IS/GS/LS Lexus, Maxima, Volvo S80, or TL. Another option is a late model Saab. They are going for very cheap, and I believe most any GM dealers are still able to service them.

You might want to look into a new G37 also. The new Q50 is coming out, but they said they will continue selling the G37 sedan for another 1-2 years, BUT they also lowered the price $5k as well. A win for entry level luxury sport sedan buyers.

But honestly, $35k and under most anything you like will be good as it will probably have under 40k miles on it. I'd look into a CC R Line, or lightly used A6 Have fun test driving

Head to Carmax and spend the afternoon test driving cars. I know you said "Luxury" and listed the Genesis and not the Sonata. But a Sonata is a pretty nice ride ( maybe not the best exterior styling ) and it's not going to break the wallet up front or in maintenance costs.
