[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The european luxury and near luxury cars focus on the total experience.  The driver ergonomics....the driver connection to the road.  (at least the german cars).  It is like driving a sports car that is designed to haul a family.

When driving, it is exhilarating.  I have received a 3 series as a rental one, almost bought one (but got cheap). I ended up with a VW -- similar handling characteristics, but not as well made.

Today, I drive a subaru.  No illusion of sporty, but it gets the job done.[/quote]

Subarus are good cars and dependable for 10+ years, unlike a German luxury car.

The sweet spot for German luxury is 3-5 years old.  You'll pay 60-40 cents on the dollar, and yet get German luxury for a few years more before major expenses kick in.  If you're worried about major expenses, find a good mechanic and buy an extra warranty (before the factor 3-5 year warranty) runs out that allows you to take the car to him.

For German luxury, I would also recommend buying a car that had low production numbers.  Many of those will actually increase in value after the initial 3-5 year dip.[/quote]
