What should i look out for/check when buying second hand old luxury cars?
>>29095985make sure it has a steering wheel
>>290959851 previous owner, less than 50k miles, clean title, no accidents. A lot of old luxury cars weren't driven very often because the owner had multiple cars. When used cars are 10 years old, they become very inexpensive because banks won't lend money against a car that is 10 years old. But this means that if you are buying a 10-year old car, you will have to pay with cash.
>>29096054>When used cars are 10 years old, they become very inexpensive because banks won't lend money against a car that is 10 years old.Do you really believe that?In April 2009, a class action suit was filed against BMW in connection with HPFP failures. BMW settled the suit in June 2010. On 26 October 2010, following an ABC News story about HPFP failures, BMW announced a recall of vehicles with the pump in question from manufacturing years 2007–2010. The recall was applied to 130,000 cars, resulting in the replacement of the HPFP in approximately 40,000 of these cars.In the United States, the warranty period for the HPFP was increased to 10 years and 120,000 mi (190,000 km). On some cars, the HPFP was replaced multiple times without resolving the issue, potentially leading to the car being refunded under the Lemon Laws in some states.[The High Pressure Fuel Pump issue caused BMW North America to extend the warranty for this pump to 10 years or 120,000 mi (190,000 km). The warranty period for the fuel injectors was also increased, to 10 years or 120,000 mi (190,000 km). An updated design for the fuel injectors was also introduced. Due to problems with rattling wastegates caused by premature bushing wear,BMW extended the warranty period for wastegate-related issues to 8 years or 82,000 mi (132,000 km).These warranty extensions only apply to the United States.

>>29095985If you have to ask, you're going to get burnt.Read the forums for that model. For weeks. If there has been 2 or more posts about some issue, you need to know about it. Go through every thread. Then you'll realize that you're not gonna get a good deal because every cheap listing is absolutely fucked, and end up paying out the ass for a single owner <50k mile car that still shits the bed cause all of the seals failed.Buy a new car, learn to wrench, or be Jay Leno, else you can't enjoy the glory of old luxury cars. There's no shortcut or "good buy" out there.
>>29096054I bought a 2014 car this year on a bank loan.
>>29095985Color of owner. If they're white or yellow, you're in luck fellow. If they're brown or black, get in your car and head on back
the kind of person that buys a luxury car very rarely will sell it used to a stranger on the internetso all the good ones go to a dealer and from there to arabs turks and niggersso you can either overpay and pray at a second hand place or buy from a colored man and basically kill yourselfthe only good reliable luxury cars are hand me downs from people you knowunless its a bmw in which case it will explode every 50k miles no matter what you do

>>29097078They will but with an unsecured personal loan that's going to rape you with interest.>20 yearslmao good luck with that
>>29095985Check literally every feature of the specfic one you're after. Some of the luxury cars have retarded amounts of crap that love to go tits up
>>29097069Maybe.It used to be that dealers would just send anything but the very best of 1-2 year old cars to auction. Since used car prices went insane during covid concentrating on used car sales became the meta so they'd keep a lot more used cars around. As used car auction prices have gotten even more ridiculous due to the likes of Carvana and Carmax independent dealers are moving back to focusing on new cars because they can't get used ones with enough profit margin. My brother works for a local dealer and says the Carvana and Carmax buyers will just hold their hand up and keep it up until the car(s) they want is theirs no matter what it ends up costing, leaving only the shitty ones for everybody else. Point being is that IF somebody trades in the type of car that would be the subject of this thread then the dealer may well keep it for themselves rather than send it to auction like they used to.
