This is quite true. That being said, my 206k mile 540it hasn’t been crazy expensive to own— still cheaper than any car payment if you break it down month by month, and it’s still a pretty fun to drive V8 RWD wagon at the end of the day.

I agree with this 100%. My 2000 BMW 540it has 206k miles, and at this point all the potential trouble spots have been taken care of: the chain guides have been done, the transmission has been serviced, the suspension has been completely replaced, the rear air struts have been replaced, the cooling system has been…

Once you hit a certain point on a BMW - assuming you’re willing to stick to it - it’ll go forever.

It is because some people think it is better off scraping an older car if the repairs equals the price of the car.

Surprisingly enough, Zelda games don’t sell that well in Japan. It’s a series that usually gets waaaaay more sales outside of Japan.

Getting a little off track here, even if it is kinda fun...

It’s not a bad choice. I drive a ragged ‘01 Silverado that’s now survived in my nearly two years of ownership:

My parents faired very well all in all but the SUV not so much. It is a pretty safe vehicle overall fortunately. That is something else to consider.

Mazda6. Fun, great gas mileage, a little down on power, reliable, but still great looking. 2015 CPOs are right under $15,000. I own one, and have been very happy with it. Nothing but routine maintenance in 65,000 miles.

40mi/day. 20mi commute each way

How reliable a car is depends on many factors and I notice people often equate reliability as poor with high end vehicles, especially complex ones. However, many high end vehicles have been more regularly serviced and better maintained than your average Kia because they cost someone a lot of money at one time. You…

“The only way to stop a bad guy with a Semi-tuck is a good guy with a Semi-truck”

How long have you owned it, and how reliable has it been?

So what you’re telling me is, I should process this information as “THE REVEAL IS IMMINENT START RAISING YOUR EXPECTATIONS!” Because that’s what I’ll do!

I’m going the Ballaban route and gonna say the 2012/2013 Boss 302. Last of the live rear axle Mustangs, just enough retro and modern cues to always be known as a Mustang, minimal technology (especially 2012), rare quad exhaust system (side and rear), and TracKey (factory ECU tune in a key). The fact it performed…

I think the 5th generation Honda Prelude (1997-01) could be one that could blow up in value. More refined (and less common) than the Civic/Civic Si in that same time period, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, and more hp (at 195-200hp depending on the year), and until the s2000 came along, it was Honda’s flagship…

Acura RSX.

Why do people drive Miatas and Porsches when Camrys and Priuses exist?

Yep...I’ve been ready to pull the trigger on a GTI for a while (if only they would stock some SEs with the cloth seats) but wish Hyundai would bring the i30N as is. Instead, were getting the Veloster N that shares components. Personally, I don’t think I could buy a Veloster.

Toyota has started hitting slugger after slugger. I am completely serious, if I had not just bought an ISF, this Corolla would have been on my list of possible dailys. Everything about it screams fun car.
