[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any luxury brand car. To me, it’s like lightning a bonfire on tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in your backyard.[/quote]

Why do you think that?[/quote]

I had a ‘04 BMW 760iL. Beautiful car, immaculate condition. A couple years ago, the main wiring harness went bad because it got water on it (apparently a known issue for them). The replacement wiring harness was FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.

This car was $69,000 new in ‘04. In 2018 book was about $15k in excellent condition. So it lost $55k in value during the time I owned it and took lavish care of it, and then a notoriously failure prone part fails, and totally wipes out the rest of the value of the car.

It went to the shredder in perfect shape except for a bad wiring harness. And yes I INSISTED it be shredded because I was so mad at the situation, where I had a literally valueless luxury car in pristine condition, that somebody could pick up at the junk yard for literally nothing and then make thousands of dollars off stripping it down for parts. Like hell they are, I had it totally destroyed. [/quote]
