It's Friday and I'm bored

I'll go a step further and say it's flat out irresponsible to buy a car like that when you have a family (and obviously already a problem with buying cars) unless you research worst case scenario repairs costs and can write those checks without thinking twice. The fact that he and his wife had to sit down and talk about their options means that you had no business taking a flier on a car like that in the first place.

Well, I'm sure ol' girl knew on some level she was marrying an automotive masochist. But yeah, I mean if you're buying a German car that stickered for stupid money while new, you cannot possibly buy it with 70k miles and no warranty and not be prepared for something to go wrong that costs more than a new car.

Reminds me of a coworker I had who bought a high mileage 760 for something like $16k. Was really happy for a few months, until the fuel pumps went bad. The 2 fuel pumps on that car are $2000 each. And they're at the back of that big ass V12, so the labor was several thousand dollars as well.
