2014 BMW 228i Maybe ~$16K out the door

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-20-2020, 03:35 PM

Or you can buy my FR-S (it's a 6MT tho) ;)

ern-diz · 04-20-2020, 04:58 PM

2014? You'll get a solid couple years before you have to start putting cardboard under it to catch the oil leaks

Just teasing. It's sexy, no doubt.

It's certainly a handsome model, and I like the colour. But, older BMW's scare me; potentially a bunch of never-ending issues... some very expensive.

Depends on how much you enjoy auto repairs & auto repair expenditures. It could be your new hobby!

A BMW out of warranty? Good luck

It is a nice looking car, but I don't know anything about BMWs.

amypang · 04-28-2020, 06:15 AM

Deep Blue is an attractive color. But, buying a car made in six years back cannot be accepted. Actually I saw some problems with a newly bought BMW car recently. So, I'm afraid it would not bother you.

cant test drive now anyway

Ha ha if you like spending $4,000+ per year on repairs go ahead. No fucking way I'd buy that money pit. The only good way to own a BMW is to lease it. Never buy one, especially not one out of warranty.

Go for it. Don't mind the haters. They said the same thing about KIA. I own one for 4 years. Drives like new.

Have the car inspected by the local BMW dealer before purchase.
Should cost about $125.
My experience has been very good doing that.
At least you know if your starting out with a good car.
