lol whatever suits you man, i would have taken that deal if my parent's offered... lol but i guess you may not be the car enthusiast so meh -shrug and civics shouldnt even cost you 20.. unless you are getting options for the EX-L
my parent will never buy a new bmw no matter what.. fixing is too expensive.. and Honda Civic is about $17k out the door price... Honda Odyssey is about $22k out the door....
where do u find an ody for 22k out? we've been trying for so long... and to HKB... not really... i paid half of my first car, and paid all of my second car... insurance been oddly enough... very nice to me haha... RX8 is 4door sedan and the Z is old enuff for me to get a discount -lol
Very nice Jay haha golf's are not to shabby i must say hahah and since its a german car must have been a bit cheaper?! LOL
hard earned savings, yes. Spoiled brats, no. I don't spend money on useless junk. Clothing-wise, I try to keep some timeless style so it can last me 4 yrs instead of those trendy cloths that last 4 weeks. I rarely drink, don't really go to clubs or parties. kontradiction's GTI and Fearless' IS are perfect examples. Mine isn't. half paid E60 545i. -cry2 4.5L V8 premium guzzler. Gas prices keeps on rising.... God I envy those Civic drivers now. RTH, BMW's aren't that expensive to repair. Audi's and Mercedes are.
Audi's to change a timing belt, you have to off the whole front assembly to reach the belt. That's like 4 hours of labor @ 100$/ hour. The timing belt kit comes with the water pump, oil filter, fuel filter, and other stupidities which is 450$. It's a nice total of 850$. If you live in a communist province like Quebec, Canada ( in my case) we have to pay a 14% tax. A nice total of 970$ for a stupid rubber belt. My uncle's been there. My aunt forgot to do it and the belt skipped a tooth. I've never seen valves bend lol...The swap was well over 7k at the dealer ( back in 2002) Mercedes parts are expensive because they are built like tanks and use some pretty good quality parts. I have little experience with Mercs but I'm shopping for a 6 cylinder old school W124 E-class. These things are robust. There are some more recent C-class from the late 1990's for 6-7k which are worth considering. BMW, well... my family is sold to BMW. 7's, 5's, 3's, X's. They are not expensive to repair trust me. Make sure the car is in good condition, bring it to a BMW specialist and you won't regret. The engine last forever. Literally. Mine has 200 000km on the original belt, still running on the original head, seals, and passed the compression ratio with flying colors. I highly recommend a E34 5-series. They are fairly unexpensive to buy and to maintain. There's also the E46. Beautiful timeless design. I can go on to praise the Bavarians but I'll keep it on topic for now.
gordon... there's a difference between cost to repair... and not having to repair lol... when something does break down... it costs you an arm and a leg to repair a bimmer... it's just rare for a bimmer to break down rofl... *o and Fearless' IS isn't exactly cheap on gas... it still sucks up quite a bit... Lexus/Toyo's I6's are incredibly thirsty -.-;
^ and as stated...RTH get a BMW, and with your spending habit im sure you could pay for all the damages that does rarely happen to the car, im definitly going to own one and I hope really soon....
there's so much diversity of cars on here so far haha... another Bimmer on here would make me not feel so lonely
wtf, you call 27 mpg city/32 mpg highway thirsty? id say thats pretty good for a small/mid size sedan.
yeah man, 2.4 L direct fuel injected V6. i get some pretty solid milage. City driving mpg suffers alot if i get too high into the rev range, but most of the time i drive pretty conscious of the fact gas is costing me $1.25 a liter.
z0mg... that just makes the IS not as interesting nemore... but then again... it kinda makes it interesting again rofl
