What sort of stuff are you purchasing from Best Buy? You could probably put the T.V. in the trunk? I could put the Playstation or Nintendo Wii in the back seat along with some games...
If you are looking for bike racks Küat NV 2.0 is a nice rack but since you have given ZERO INFO on how many bikes or what bikes or anything beyond saying Best Buy (the electronic store) carrier for a luxury car.
More than likely Stealth Hitches makes something for your car but no year on the car or any trim package listings so you make it even harder to suggest in case you don't have a hitch.

Depends on your needs. If you go the trailer hitch route there are plenty to choose from.
Heavy duty, but in short supply is the 1UP. This is a well built monster style rack that can handle almost any type of bike but could be overkill for some. My only complaint is that rack will ruin the look of your vehicle. Oversized meccano apparatus that looks out of place on the caliber of your vehicle. I have never read one negative review on this rack.
The Kuat NV 2.0 mentioned above is another well reviewed rack and looks good. The Sherpa is a little less money, little less robust and may be a more cost efficient model.
Thule make different models depending on your needs. I own the Helium platform because it was available, it is extremely light for putting it on and taking it off your vehicle when you don't need it. It takes most style bikes and more importantly it took the different style of bikes I owned.
Rocky Mounts is another brand but I have no information.
There are lesser brands from such as Allen Sports etc that other on this board are much more knowledgeable and can fill you in.
Then of course there is the roof rack route but your vehicle is pretty high so lifting bikes up can be cumbersome but not insurmountable.
I noticed in your five posts to date, they are usually questions with one line which as stated above lacks the information to give you specific information in return. A bit more information in your questions would be respectful to the other on this board that take the time to help you out.
