Once they get much past five years old, Jags, BMWs and Mercedes sell for about what Camrys and Fusions do about the same age.
The Jag in the photo is a 2008 model at the newest and not worth more than $10k. It’d be a headache.
Mexicans frequently pool money to buy high-end vehicles. Bigger headache.
Not cars anyone on a budget should have, even if they have the purchase price.
Kinda what I was thinking. It's not the older imported car's purchase price that's so outrageously expensive, it's the maintenance and repairs. I just looked the prices up, and a 10-year old Honda Accord V6 sedan is worth more than a 10-year old BMW 325i sedan. (Consider that people may be forced to live in Section 8 housing because they drive imported luxury cars!)
None of these cars and trucks are new., nor are they expensive. They’re well detailed used vehicles with expensive rims/tires. But even these rims and tires can be bought used.
Bottom line, this is a non-issue to me. These aren’t $90k vehicles. They’re $7-$20k used vehicles that have been kept clean and polished often. But if people here want to have a circle jerk about a 10 year old $8k BMW, go for it.
Maybe some day, folks here will find room on their outrage list for Americans collecting disability who are “incapable of working”, yet miraculously, fully capable of spending long hours researching various subjects, reading articles, formulating deep opinions about said articles, and posting those deep opinions on political forums all day and night on the internet. But they can’t work an office job doing essentially the same thing because they’re “disabled”.
Nah. That won’t happen.
I drove beaters for years.
Federales and State workers I was around were unimpressed. Seriously.
No one bothered my car, though.
