We’ve gone on record in the past noting that it might not be a great idea to buy a used luxury car “for less than a new Nissan.” Luxury cars are fast depreciators, meaning that it’s not hard to find a five or 10-year-old BMW selling for dirt cheap, but the trade-off is steep ownership costs, especially when it comes to maintenance. Not because luxury cars are unreliable, but because they demand specialty parts and maintenance.
