Mechanical nightmare. Maintenance nightmare. Reliability is horrendous.
Better off with a Lexus or Acura

Then it works for you. I would wager that isn’t the case for the majority of people.
 
Is it electric?

Same here - nothing over 35000 miles too .....................................until I got married......................but let me quantify - because of financial decisions like that - We both got to retire at 59-1/2 :)

For sure .... My Dakota is a 2004 and my Subaru a 2009. Drive them till their dead.

Just put a motor in my Subaru at 153k. (Plastic radiator puked, overheated and toasted the motor)

I hate car payments.
 
What's the saying?

If it flies, floats, or f***s, it's cheaper to rent than own.


Say B-man, didn't you buy that Burgundy roof MB convertible last year? Decided it wasn't for you and trading it in?

Not when you try to trade it in or resell the pig. German cars have terrible residual value for a reason. They are junk.

They aren't reliable like Japanese, and even Korean cars, but they are definitely not junk, especially if you like to drive a performance automobile. If you want junk look at your typical base GM car.

I've owned a lot of cars, and to this day the nicest car that I've ever owned, and that I still miss, was an MB E63 AMG.
Cost of ownership was also probably the highest of any car I've ever owned, even when spreading it out over the 7 years that I owned it, but you wanna play, you gotta pay. (ETA: a large part of the cost was about $1000+ every year in tires alone, with 507HP and 465 ft lbs of torque, it shredded a pair of rear tires every 8-10 months, with front tires lasting maybe twice that (was still a heavy car that handled surprisingly well, so the fronts took a beating too).

To each his own.
