We have the smallest Mercedes SUV from ten years ago (the GLK). Our maintenance costs (all routine preventative maintenance) now exceed our purchase price. Yikes!

I bought a 2009 BMW 128i cabrio in 2012. Only thing I’ve had to do with it other than routine maintenance was a new convertible top about 3 years ago. Terrific car! When i trade the wife’s Infiniti I’m getting a new 5-series. Love them BMWs.

I kept my Z4 for 17 years. I will admit the maintenance costs were high in the last 10 years. I currently have a 440I which is 7 years old but it only has 45K miles on it and hasn’t given me any trouble at all in the 3 years I’ve owned it.

Any awesome car that you admire today, can be seen in the High School parking lot in 10 years for $300...

Spartanburg, SC, is responsible for global SUV production. In fact, BMW.
Wondered why BMW was jokingly called Bubba Makes Wheel there.

I heard a stat, not sure whether true, that 90% of new vehicle “sales” are leased. This has driven manufacturers to build cars to last 3-5 years. Overly complex, short time of parts availability, unfixable, etc.

This is a relief. I work in BMW sales- March was a banner month, but it’s been a little quieter so far for April.
