[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]BMW is going to kill you on parts and repairs in the long term (so will any german car), I would stay away.[/b] Bear in mind that used vehicle certification from a dealer adds cost to the car, it's not free to the dealership and they pass the cost to you. Get 1-2 year old car with low mileage. Check "True Price" to see for how much other people bought a similar car. Find a good mechanic (if you don't have one) to inspect the car before purchasing (this was you dont' need certification to be sure it's not a lemon). Go with a brand that has low maintenance costs and sells in high volume. Don't pay the luxury premium on BMW or Acura. Honda CRV is a good choice, if you want a third row of seats - Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander. [/quote] Definitely something to consider. European cars have higher repair costs (parts are more expensive). Japanese cars are middle of the road, and American cars are cheaper. [/quote]
