Nice ride. I'm looking for a new 4 door sedan for my DD and I thought about one of those but I can't get the "cadi for old people" sterotype out of my head. Just like BMW is a standard issue sales guy car. Decisions decisions. I'm looking at:

Audi A6
Mercedes E350 or CLS550
CTS..maybe
Hynduai Genesis 5.0..wife likes it

Id get the Hynduai or the CTS. Euro cars are just to expensive to maintain.

Yeah, likely the only way I'd do a Euro car is a lease.

Really really want a Bimmer but looking up odds and ends for little parts that could go wrong... Meh, I have different priorities to focus on first

euro cars aren't bad. If you don't plan on owning it for the long term then maintenance is free until you sell it before the warranty is up. I bought my 335xi and had it for 3 and a half years. Sold it before the maintenance was up and and got good money for it. Not a bad deal at all

Yeah you and I originally talked about this. Only way I'd rock one is extended warranty or CPO or a lease

Biggest issue is that I have other hobbies, so need a vehicle to tow those. So it'd be either giving up a toy car and owning a BMW and a truck or owning a truck and a toy car. Regardless of being able to afford it or not, I personally cannot justify owning 3 vehicles to just myself

$30k down, could probably qualify for a $300k house depending upon other numbers.

Or just rock a USDA loan, the next housing bubble. 0% down, make minimal money, have bad credit, we'll loan you a house!
