I've realized that a car is the worst investment you can make. It never appreciates in value. I bought a BMW this year, but I'm going to trade it in now. I got no added enjoyment from driving a "luxury" car, so I think I'll save $100 per month and buy something like a Honda Accord or Hyundai Sonata.

Who buys any personal consumption item for investment purposes? That makes no sense. Psst....if you want to invest your money I suggest index funds.

Price sensitivity is a personal thing.

The last vehicle I would ever buy or want to own is a BMW. They are nothing like what they used to be and have gone down hill each and every year.

Huge fan of Audi. Much nicer and far more enjoyable rides.

How do you not want one???

Love BMW's, my father is a Benz man. I couldn't really justify buying one though, just got married and we have two dogs that we need to haul around, plus we like to go camping and I'm too OCD to carry dirty camping gear in a pristine luxury car.

Ended up getting a new AWD Ford Edge Limited, which we love. Getting a luxury SUV would have been out of our budget, especially since we got married, bought a car and bought a condo all in just over a year.

I'm pretty much on a spending freeze at this point outside of things for the condo.

Car looks great, hope you enjoy it.

If you bought a BMW, it would have had to been an older model. At 3.9% interest for 60 months equates to approximately $5,500.00 in savings if you are wanting to save $100 per month. Hondas and BMWs aren't that close in their respective purchase prices.

I love Audis. Always liked VW products.

It was a 2009 328i that I bought in September 2010. It was 2.7% financing over 72 months. I got a good deal...$27K, but it was not worth it in my opinion. It's not only the price, though, it's the maintenance which can end up being very costly.

To me, spending that much money on a car that is going to depreciate in value so quickly doesn't make sense. I honestly got no more enjoyment out of driving my BMW than I did the Nissan Sentra I had before it. I'm just saying that I'd rather spend the money on other things. Some people are really into cars and enjoy what the higher end cars bring. To each his own, I'm just providing my own opinion.
