Even if you use genuine OEM parts. As long as you are not a wrenchlet, it's cheaper.>Can pick up an old Mercedes R129 SL or Jaguar XK8 for less than $10K>Will still cost way less than the $1K per month that the average car payment is, in repairs.
>>29094682Or you can buy an old reliable car, and wind up paying $0 a month in repairs
>>29094699>and wind up paying $0 a month in repairsSure buddy, because oil, filters, brakes, and suspension components are free, right?
>>29094699>Or you can buy an old reliable carBut you'd miss out on the luxury. You poorfags are so boring>b-but why not just get a bicycle
A $500-$1000 part breaking monthly on your $10k used luxury car is actually an exceptionally accurate estimate of the reality of owning one of those
>>29094709I own a new car brother, I'm just saying you need to pick your fights. Do you want to save money, or not?
>>29094710>breaking monthlyPick better cars then you dweeb
>>29094682Yep. Did this for a lot of years and then got old and slowly stopped going out to work on them. Didn't realize that was what was going on in the moment, of course, it just seemed like good sense to "wait until it cools off" and other such excuses that culminated in buying new cars that I don't even wash by hand anymore.
>>29094707Those aren’t repairs>>29094709Not really; older Luxury cars are far more Luxurious than the new plastic bullshits they’re peddling as such>>29094710That doesn’t happen lol
>>29094682Looking for a CL500 next year. Being yuro I have to get the logistics right first. Garage, insurance, and replacement parts. Saving money and looking forward making a CL to my CL.
>>29094746Is this the only picture you have of this woman?
>>29094756I can’t even find that picture again with reverse search
>>29094710How is paying $1000 a month in repairs cheaper than $650/mo for a new car?
>>29094769>$650/mo for a new car?Show me a $650/mo new car that doesn't have a $10k deposit that isn't a basic econobox
>>29094682>mercedes>jaguar>cheapif you want a cheap luxury car get an old lexus. can you even drive yet kiddo? but you're right an old luxury car still beats a new luxury car any day of the week. they're putting out some real shitters. just this week i see a darkie sitting in a broke down lincoln SUV on the side of the freeway. laughed my way home in my prius
>>29094775>luxury car that isn't Europeanlol....yikes even
>>29094775>if you want a cheap luxury car get an old lexus.Yeah, sure buddy. If you buy a truly luxury lexus (2006-17 LS600H), it'll cost the same as a Mercedes and Jaguar to maintain
>>29094777what does true luxury mean. for me luxury means power seats and heated seats. maybe some cheapshit flip down LCD panels with a built in bluray player in the back that nobody uses anymore. maybe a drinks cooler.
>>29094682"As long as you are not a wrenchlet" you are going to need a second car to drive when your old euro money pit is out of commision in your driveway
sorry but i need android auto for waze
>>29094707On old cars, those rarely go wrong for a long time once you get them fixed
>>29094805>He doesn't have a nice summer car and a winter beater
Your idea makes sense if by "old luxury car", you mean an LS400 or LS430. Wrong if its anything touched by a Euro.t. owns an '05 LS430 and a '10 E63 M6I spent more on the M6 in the last year of ownership than I spent on the LS in 8 years. Both are very low mileage (sub 80k) too.>>29094848>living where there is a winter that freezes>living in the salt belt
>>29094854>Not living in the whitest part of the country
>>29094854>500hp BMW with the only V10 they've ever produced is less reliable than a v8 toyota with half the horsepowershocking
>>29094682Depends on the brand.Most euro ones are money sinks.American is hit or miss. You gotta do your research and pick specific models.I only hear people talk about Lexus (the most reliable) when it comes to Asian brands so I assume its kind of like American brands where you have to do research.When most people talk about used luxury cars as a bargain they are usually talking about Mercedes or Porsche because you can get six figure MSRP cars for 20k; but those tend to be money pits over time.
>>29094854>lives somewhere it doesn't snow>can't use t.Sounds about right.
>>29095385>this rebadged Ford Fusion was $70,000 + tax + tip
>>29095540>If it shares even one button with a lower trim its trashGrow up
>>29094770Literally all of them? Depending on finance terms you can even get a luxury car for under $1k. Is luxury to you spending money on aging leather seats?
>>29094710the better part is when it breaks something more than $1000 and you have to take a few days off work to fix it IF you have the time/space to fix it. think timing chains if its a xk8, leaking top hydraulics on the r129op is gonna find out why every mechanic drives a buick, 20-30 year old american truck, or japanese shitbox
It doesn't matter how much it costs to repair when it randomly breaks down and leaves you stranded.
>>29094682Only homosexuals drive FAGuars
>>29094682>jag xk8>cost less than $1k per month in repairs
