Realistically, I don't think I'll be spending nearly 50k; one of the other reasons for looking now instead of later is that there are some seriously amazing prices on cars lately. A lot of cars that list around the 50k neighborhood can be found very slightly used (12k miles or less) for a deep discount. I'm not rolling around like Daddy Warbucks, but I have been fortunate enough to sell fragments of previous startups for enough that I don't feel like I need to pinch every penny. Unfortunately I spend enough time on the road (around 15 to 20 hours a week) that this is one place where I will spend a few extra dollars.
