so whats the deal with german cars

[/ QUOTE ]
They are fun to drive. As long as they are running fine, they may be really good cars. Unfortunately the electronics do have a high rate of failure nowadays.

Try the following: go to a German Car's dealer and ask him about the warranty. Then go to a Japanese (or US) Car's dealer and ask him how long the warranty period will be.

Warranty is a strong quality signal. The manufacturers of German cars know, their electronics are an incalculable risk, therefore they never increased their warranty periods as the rest of the world did. Once the mechanics (not qualified for high-tech electronic systems, ldo) at the manufacturer's garage start working on a malfunctioning system, it only gets more and more [censored] up. The customer will never be able to prove who messed up, so he will pay the whole bill. That - unfortunately - is the deal with newer German upper class cars. Don't buy them, all that money can be put to better use in your life.
