Hey!  He knows what he’s got!

I could copy/paste your reply and just change the first few words to match my own ownership experience.

1. I drove a 2002 530i for about 4 months- it’s overall the best car I’ve ever driven. It’s good at everything, has unbelievable handling, is powerful enough, and the steering feedback and suspension are out of this world. It’s absolutely serene. 

Neat and unique car, but at 200K+ miles this is never going to be investment-worthy or anything you’d ever get your money back on... especially once you go down the “death by 1000 cuts” routine of fixing all those non-specified “little” issues. And even if it were near perfect and had half the miles $15K seems like a…

I can’t hear you above all the laughing

Also you get that bullet proof Italian reliability that Alfa Romeo is famous for.

Hyundai is the parent company to Kia. You really think there’s a difference?

Can attest. Got mine (actual car pictured)...

Not much to say; that’s the right number.

NP - lots of good in this...great first car for someone too. Otherwise keep it going and send it, this is solid basic transportation in a wagon.

If you need something reasonably capable to get you from point A to point B for a while—and you’re not a TikTok idiot taking out subprime loans on $80K vehicles you can’t afford—you could do worse for this kind of money.  NP.

3 pedals are a huge plus. The scrapes give the impression you might actually take this off-roading once in a while . Nice Price for me

If the records show the seller has kept up with the known Subie failure points...sure, it’s a well-kept runner for under $5K. NP.

I’m going with the Z32 300ZX. It’s just such a simple and clean design that still remains fresh today.

I actually think that if they re-released the Honda Element now, it would do well. 

BMW Z8. Nothing says fine wine aging like BMW’s Z8 support:

Each and every Volvo wagon. Especially the 200series ones. Just look at it. Perfect.

Maybe more of a finely aged 40-oz American light lager, but it’s still as awesome as it was almost 30 years ago:

I’m gonna say the 86-97 Saab 9000, especially the first generation, 86-92. Very much ahead of the time in the mid 80's when they came out, they still looked fresh in the early 2000's. Even now, the styling looks classic, not dated. Feature-wise they were looking to the future as well, with heated seats, a Clarion…

Any shark-nosed BMW, but my personal fave is the M6
