Na but seriously i wouldnt ever buy any beamer or benz from the 90s... My boy had a clean beamer 3series coupe and the brakes went out and he had to save up and take the bus for a month to get a 1000 dollar brake job... Then i think it was the electric seat went out and that costed a couple hundred, then 2 other problems with something else stupid that was like a $700 fix total, then he totaled it right after that... It costed like 7k and there was like over 2k in repairs and he only had that shit like 9 months lol.

The problem is that those euro specialist mechanics cost waaaay too much



...on another note, anybody ever driven the new benz c class that only costs like 29k new? Thats a crazy low price for a benz, i wonder why thats 29k but theres some hyundai that costs like 70k lol

I Love my BMW Its ah 92' 525i with 200,000+ miles on it but its ah beast! I just had to keep it maintained every sum odd miles (myself) and its ah 5 speed stick...the Automatics in this year fuck up all the time. Best Car I Ever Had and picked it up 5 years ago for 2Gs from ah family member. I switched out the rims and put on some 2002 525i rims on it. The ones in the pic are the old rims.

Yup, these cars are so dam smooth and reliable when well-maintained but if you just have enough money to buy the car and don't have the $ to keep up with the maintenance it will be a nightmare for you.

I got lucky not needing any major work done with my first 96 S-Class (W140) for about 80K miles but I learned the hard way when I bought my second 03 S-Class (W220) @ $15K and after 20K miles went by I needed 15K worth of work done and the tranny went out on the other at the same time!

That shit was depressing as fuck! I should of invested the money into something else, but fuck it you live and learn. Do the research so you don't end up buying a lemon like I did.

There's a reason you see delivery drivers with old ass bmws and benzs
Some of those cars will go infinite miles if you upkeep them

Like that guy in the middle east who had like 2million miles on one lol

And with that said, a lot of the older models are fucking beast! For example, I wouldnt be afraid to own a 1980's 3 series BMW (E30) because if kept up properly them things will go seemingly forever. And the same goes for a lot of other German cars from that era. Before everything got super technical.
DAT NIGGA TAZZ @DAT NIGGA TAZZ there's a reason why that Benz is so cheap

Mercedes-Benz CLA-class Reviews - Mercedes-Benz CLA-class Price, Photos, and Specs - CARandDRIVER

It's not built like the Mercedes we have known for so many years.
Arson @Arson I believe what you say about the LS engine...GM has been doing their homework. Also I want to see how far they go with the 3.6L v-6. That one seems like a winner too.
ELPOLLITO @ELPOLLITO you lettin go of an E55???....what you plan on gettin next?
RAVAGE @RAVAGE I hardly EVER see those with sticks...you lucky my dude...post the pics with the other rims if you can....sidenote...today I seen a circa 2008 5 series matte black with red rims....shit was sick!!
StillHustlin @StillHustlin I have yet to own anything with a LT1....let alone a LS

I bought a 2006 Porsche cayenne this last Wednesday, couldn't sleep that night because I was just stressed about it, and traded it that Friday for a newer ford for the same price. It was the nicest car I ever had in my possession but it cost 84 dollars to fill the tank and got shitty gas mileage. I didn't keep it just for the fact that repairs cost so much though

lol @ the dude that says he called the dealership and they said they had no idea WHY they would take away the dipstick to check it yourself...ohhh. HE kNEW!!! they both did.

its called money!!! you have to take that shit to the shop to spend $$$ just to have it checked!! then pay for them to change and/or fill it!!

monopolizing the shit out of the industry fucking bastards.. they pry have a say in gas prices, and sell you the gas can's to hold the gas in to fill your car they sold you!! haha

Worst things is They have a set Price that they charge for them to even lift your bonnet up to diagnose yo shit...

A next fucked up thing is...Electric engine Management Lights That stay on..even when you fixed the problem,Esp lights to. you know How much they charge for them.to plug in a simple device you can buy on ebay for under $50 that diagnoses and lets you reset and fuck.with the on board Computer??? $300 for something that takes 5 mins to do.

Yea i read up on the new c classes and i expected to read way worse...they didnt make them seem all that bad... I cud def deal with a "not-so-fancy" dash setup and i actually like stiffer handling to a point)... And with those kind of prices, u can actually think about geting one of the upgraded pkgs with awd, etc and not just the barebones

When I have the extra money to blow, I'm bout to cop me a 94 E36 and wouldnt mind the convertible. I've been told that these cars are reliable and pretty cheap to maintain compared to other BMWs.

One of my dream cars when I was a kid. That body is sexy as fuck.

I have the '93 525i. It was dope when I got it 10 years ago but had to finally retire it. Too much to keep up. Nice car though
