I want to buy a car

[Eric is God]

Time passes by relatively fast, it's already 6 years old, by the time he realizes it he'll have a broken down 10 year old car. He can claim that resale value doesn't matter but it does, it's a safety net in case you lose your job, or any other serious life fuck up happens. I highly doubt he is in the position to say that 'money doesn't matter', because he wouldn't be looking at a 20 thousand dollar car, he'd be buying a hundred thousand dollar car.

I was only making the point that time and money are key aspects to look at when purchasing a car, he might enjoy the BMW for two-three years but try and sell a broken down 10 year old car and expect any good cash return. You should always look three to four years down the road when buying a car. Try and sell a 3 year old car to a dealership and expect a decent cash return, better yet try and sell a 10 year old car to a dealership and expect to get anything more than credit towards a new vehicle. He's probably getting this BMW at a Toyota dealership, which was a trade in. The person who sold their BMW had the right mind to dump it and get a new car.

These are wise words.

But the type of people that buy new BMW 325s generally aren't the type of people that would drive any care 5 or more years old.

buy american, euro cars tend to depreciate really fast and have higher maintenance costs (assuming you're american)

i bought a 2000 chevy S-10 a few weeks ago, best investment i have ever made. chevy parts are super common and super cheap, so fixing this thing has been a blast

The one thing forgotten in this note is that the Japanese cars never seem to be in the shop and do not depreciate as fast as both the euro imports and domestic cars.

Avalons are a great car IMHO, but I tend to see more elderly people driving them, as well as never see them on used lots. They hold value pretty well too! It's a suped up Camry to me. They drive great and all you do is check the fluids, tire pressure and add gas and your good.

No brainer, especially if you have ties to Toyota already in a job market.

Chevy makes a decent truck, but honestly, do you actually like any of their cars? I'd rather be caught driving in a Smart Car then a Chevy Car...not to be confused with a Chevy Truck.

Im getting the bmw for 16,400, which was the cost to my dealership + $500 (Everyone has to profit) + tax/title/registration. Total of about 17,5. Parts are expensive, but its got extremely low mileage and was maintained well. Not to mention I'll be saving 30-40 bucks a week on gas compared to my current piece of shit. That extra cash can go into maintaining the quality in which Im buying it. Thx for the advice. I'll post pics once I get it home.

[Displaced]

i hope its not a dud, i sincerely do.

its a 2002 model 325i with a low mileage, my gut tells me its been standing around alot, for a reason.

hope im wrong

pos some pics when you get the chance.

My friend who is master of cars says there is no Audi A4 Quattro 3.0 Turbo.
That car is only diesel so you should know.

He recommend you NEW Toyota Tundra (Blue, Reduced by Toyota) $23,900.
He says you can get new one for $22k (I assume you can get even less).

He says the BMW you said here is an old car, and its not a good car anyway...

all the others wont worth it (high miles and old cars).

The Tundra is a very good car. Trust his opinion, he is a car master.

If you can get a brand new Toyota at a discount price, I would go for a business line Toyota Avensis,

i believe this is american..do they even have that car here? never heard of itlol
