OT and updated: high end cars now seems to be the time (seems it was)
Hi All,
Since the OT topics on other items seem to be so full of great information thought I would post one. I've been eyeing high end cars for the past few months: Benz S550, Range Rovers, and BMW 750s. Seems the best ones are the BMW750s. I just picked up a 2016 750 loaded with almost everything w/ 34k miles for $42k and it's warrantied for 5 years with a $250 deductible. This was a $100k car just 3 years ago. Does anyone have a 16 or newer 750 they can discuss? Last edited by b33; 11-16-2021 at 01:14 PM. |

makes sense to me.
there is zero doubt that a real recession is looming, and the market for high end used cars has to be shrinking. people with big money buy/lease these things new, and those on a budget choose more modest cars, so that leaves the pre-owned high-lux market to really shrink. that thing must be one hell of a comfortable rocket ship. i'm totally out of touch with new cars, what transmission does that have?

you can cover your butt when the depression finally hits.

OP sounds like you got a sweet deal on a gorgeous car. The sad thing right now is not much driving to do. I would love to buy a new car... but it's pointless in this environment for me. Definitely no point in spending the money to have a different car just sitting in the garage. Oh well the money sits in the bank/market and makes more money as opposed to frowning at not getting to go anywhere while the car depreciates. 100% on the sedans, excellent point. I'm not really into sedans due to the inherently inefficient shape but at least it's better than SUV everything. Last edited by benb; 08-04-2020 at 10:05 AM. |

Bought myself my unicorn car a couple of years back (E63S AMG wagon) which was a delightful way to feel like I was driving straight to jail everytime I pushed the "on" button. Sold it 12 months ago, as I just couldn't dedicate that much "dead" money to sit on my driveway. Am so glad I sold it when I did...but man, do I miss that hell-wagon. |

My last BMW I purchased with 60k and drove it to 160k with no issues. |

I think most cars are cheap now because everyone needs to have a fake SUV

LOL, I bought this one last year for $40, needed some work but in nice shape.
Feels like a sofa and, as another poster mentioned, "impressive" in spite of (because of?) it's size. |

I remember similar bargains back in 2009/2008
This next one is going to be epic. Maybe it is time to finally ditch my '03 Matrix... |

It is that one!!!!! Between the backseat and the seat massagers and the over all upgrades it was a done deal for us.
