How many E36's and other 10 year old "high end" cars have you looked at? Where do you think dealerships get them from? I'll give you a hint - 90% of them are not trade-ins, and it starts with an "a" and ends in "uction". You rarely know the history unless you buy it from a private seller.

You're talking so far out of your ass its not even funny.

what are you even talking about :?:
Quote:The expensive shit is probably just as likely to break as it was(which may not even be very likely..just saying)
The "expensive shit" (engines, transmissions, etc) are damn near indestructable on a 6cyl BMW.
The problem is, everything else wears out - cooling system, bushings, transmission mounts, electronics - and if the car was a well maintained CPO car with records all of this will have been covered. If it wasnt warrantied.... the owner is a lot more likely to say "well, it aint broke today and Franz down at the BMW shop wants $,$$$ to fix all this, so I'll let it go a little longer...." I know, because the E36 I owned was like that.
