I suppose there are many people that literally live social security check to social security check, but that will likely not be the vast majority of people on this bort. more than likely most people here will die with millions in the bank and spending another 10k or so on a car is not going to impact when they can retire. |

You bring it in to the dealer, and they always replace everything regardless of whether it’s broken, because then they get paid by BMW for doing the work and no cost to you (plus a car wash every time you go in).

Date: December 29th, 2017 10:38 AM Author: Contagious Geriatric Mad Cow Disease Menage This is literally the exact business model for Euro cars. Lease cars to strivers who baby them and drive 10k miles/year and then sell them CPO to shrewd, calculating poasters. The problem is that once that sucker is out of the CPO warranty something will blow up, not to mention depreciation goes off a cliff. Whereas if you had gotten a Camry you could just ngaf, and if you decide to keep it forever you win (fewer repair$), or if you decide to sell it you win too (less depreciation). V6 camrys are basically ROCKETS btw. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3842947&forum_id=2#35033783) |

CPO is also flame. you're paying a premium for the stupid warranty and you'll probably never use it. it's basically insurance for poors who couldn't scrape together $2K if shit hit the fan. |

My grandmother literally always knew what make/model of Car people drove and spoke of it. Both grandmothers, really. But one of them basically had the Car awareness of ARE Reptile. Gen Y, on the other hand, knows that such things are folly, and that the only truth in life is that of Phenotype, and net worth.

Date: December 29th, 2017 2:25 PM Author: exciting mexican den Brother, you DO NOT want to have your MB serviced by the retarded grease monkeys at your local Valvoline quick lube. I'm as skeptical as the next guy concerning claims that cars need special fluids to avoid catastrophe, but it is true with modern high performance engines, especially European high performance engines. All it takes is one idiot using the wrong oil in your car or one manager chasing a performance based bonus telling the employees to complete service job even if they don't have the proper fluids in stock, and your car could be fucked.
Besides, when I priced out oil changes at the dealership relative to quick lube places, there wasn't that much of a difference in price, especially when you price in the complimentary car wash and light detailing that most luxury car dealerships throw in with scheduled maintenance. |

People bought craptons of cars in the 90s, and this was right when they started lasting like twice as long, so you could get something decent/cheap with 100k and then surprisingly drive it another 100k. Nowadays I don't see the savings except for on particular types of cars. i.e. you can get random cars or SUVs driven by old people, Buicks/Chevys etc, for like $5995 asking price with like 60k miles. Meanwhile there are too many folks who think that a slightly used Honda is like the ULTIMATE lifehack which drives the price up.

Date: December 29th, 2017 12:57 PM Author: exciting mexican den The retention of Buick in America presumably as noting more than a marketing ploy for China is baffling, especially in the context of GM's dumping of Pontiac. Pontiac was so damn close to turning the corner with the next generation of Solstice and G8, and I assume introduction of a rear wheel drive G6. I tried to buy a G8 GXP but mistimed the market by a month. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3842947&forum_id=2#35034759) |

Date: December 29th, 2017 12:50 PM Author: exciting mexican den I agree with OP. I bought a one year old BMW 550i that was babied by the previous owner, and I absolutely love that car. It's a blast to drive, whether I am poking around town or cannonballing down back roads.
This approach is not without risks. At least with BMW, they have had a very shaky (and by shaky, I mean massive issues) history as of late with their new performance engines. However, these issues were addressed with updated versions of the engines. Make sure you do plenty of research in make/model specific forums to affirmatively confirm that the model and year of car you are buying is dependable.
It also helps that my city's best independent BMW repair shop is only a couple blocks away, and it is owned by a 180 family. |
