I’m just going to drop a shout out to Nalley BMW of Decatur here. I’m in Minneapolis, and I bought my used BMW from them. It was a $25,000 out of state purchase, but from start to finish, they treated me like a local celebrity spending six figures.

I never thought I’d ever say these words, but for the money, the VW Eos is a better choice.

Did I miss the part about making it street legal in the US?  Is it possible to do in a major metro area?

I think saying yes to 6 million for a narration is beyond avaricious

My wife is in the market for a relatively inexpensive used luxury crossover. Earlier today I discovered that there is a Hertz used car location near me, and that they have a low mileage Discovery Sport at a decent price.   

I had a 2005 RL in 2007. Torque vectoring AWD and 290 hp was pretty good 15 years ago.       

As a black man, calling the police because a white man is feeling threatened feels like trying to put out a small fire with diesel fuel. It might work, or it might get your face blown off.

I may be somewhat atypical, but I’ll be over 90k miles on mine this year and that hasn’t been my experience.

$14k can get a decent F30 335i. Loaded 328s should be easy to find for that money.  F30s aren’t Acura’s, but they aren’t automatically the money pit nightmare that the internet likes to rant about either. 

Counterpoint:

That sure sounds like a team that can find it’s own ass with two hands and a flashlight, alright.

I still think it’s really fucked up that it’s actually MORE difficult to purchase a less expensive used vehicle versus a new one.

Poor fit and finish? Check.

It probably needed a transmission repair or replacement that cost as much as it was worth.  If it didn’t at the time, It most likely would have soon. 

Frankly I won’t get a fucking nickel out of any of this and I am A-OK with that.

My wife is a medical professional that desperately needs a “new to her” car. Before the dress rehearsal for the apocalypse happened, we had planned on buying her a used luxury crossover in the next 90 days or so.   I’m curious to see how thirsty dealers will be when if we are still ready to buy this summer.

Yeah but Bill spoke like the 9th grader that could talk his way out of getting caught drinking beer during school and could maybe talk your mom into a date.  This chart just proves that it’s not what you say, but how you say it.

The only time I’ve ever driven an empty work van was picking up a new one or getting rid of an old one.  Otherwise, I’d have no idea what they were like unloaded.

Name recognition counts for a lot.  I’m a middle aged black voter and I’m holding on to the fantasy that the memes are true and if President Biden ever needs some help, he’s got ALL the Obama’s on speed dial.

I’m getting hints of Mercedes/Maybach from the A pillar forward, a little BMW in the middle, and some Aston and Lincoln hints from the D pillar back.
