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.

If warranty was a strong quality signal, Kias would be really, REALLY good cars.

i'm using 'signal' here as 'signal' in information economics, thereby accounting for misleading signals.

Yes, German cars are somewhat less reliable and more expensive than Japanese cars. German cars are way cooler though and will yield more poon. It's up to you to make the right decision.

Japanese > German > American > Spanish cars

my gf has had a '97 328 for like 5 years now. i've always loved it, no real problems, i'd like to get one for myself once i get money.

more recently, her mom got a 328, and her dad got a 540 (both used, prob an 02 and an 04? something like that). The 328 is just like my gf's, very nice, and the 540 is about 3x as slick. if i had a family to drive around and $ to spare this would easily be a top choice of mine.

repairs are pricier, but just suck it up, its not SO bad. They're good friends with their local import used car dealer, bought multiple cars from him, and in return they get the vip treatment for repairs so to speak.
