[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally stick to Hondas, not because of the purchase price, but because of the maintenance costs. Often I've thought, "I can get a gently used Mercedes or BMW for a similar price as a new Honda, why not do that?" Then I remember that the average maintenance costs are much higher (BMW is more than double Honda), and realize it's not such a good deal after all. [/quote] This! I care more about not having to take my car in for repairs all the time than I do about brand names. I buy brand new cheapo Hondas and never have to do anything other than basic maintenance. (Also they don't depreciate as drastically.)[/quote] This logic would make sense, except that Consumer Reports now rates Honda below average in terms of reliability, and below BMW. So you are more likely to take a Honda in for repair than BMW. Though I do agree that a repair on a BMW is likely going to cost more than a repair on a Honda. :)[/quote]
