RE: what kind of car should i buy?
Permalink Closed

I have had my BMW for a year and a half, and my maintenance issues with it have been nil.  I have just brought it in for its annual oil change, and that's it.  like ShanKel, all my maintenance stuff is included in the warranty i got, which was 4 years, but I plan to get another car before then.  I have been really happy with my car and the service I have received from my dealer. 


And like detroit, I did a lot of my negotiating over e-mail and fax.  My real name that I use for official stuff, it's hard to tell if I am male or female, so that helped a lot.  I did a LOT of research, knew my stuff and what I did and did not want, and I had a check from my credit union.  I got a great deal on my car.  It was the first time i had ever negotiated a car.  Since then, I have also helped my best friend and husband get a car for great prices too.

what about a Nissan 350Z or an Infiniti G35?  My husband has the 350Z and he loves it.  and it has more room than my Z4.


Check out www.edmunds.com, if someone hasn't already mentioned it.  It will help you get started on the research.

I had a BMW conv and it was a lemon. Bought new and the dealer here in Atlanta sucks...sucks...sucks...the top broke all the time, I would have to get out to pop the top so it would go down, then once when someone pushed the seat back really far while napping on a road trip, well it wouldn't go back up.

Now on the other hand you may think that I am the only one with this problem, but my previous car was a BMW 3 series and it sucked too! Nothing really horrible except the engine deciding to stop while I am driving....yeah I had good luck with BMW! I seem to be the only one who ever had problems so I am not sure why, they were both from 2 different places. Who knows. Just a word to the wise.

I have now have a C class Mercedes with an 8 year warranty and it is awesome. My only thing is I miss having a converitble.

Sorry for all the negativity there I think beemers don't like me! That is the prob!
Hope your luck is better! If you choose one!
