I think the only reason that current crossover/SUV styling that isn't blocky seems so anonymous is because the market is over-saturated. Aquaticko Honestly really disappointed in the direction.Boss man in Germany had a Too Reg R line Diesel. I think VW quality is good or horror show. Of course, I have a newish Highlander sitting by just in case, but still. And it's waaaay more fun than an Altima on my weekend errands. 3 years of ownership and less than $1k in repairs. I'm working on doing the same thing with my BMW Z3, bought for $3k. I drove it for 50k miles, fixing surprisingly few things in that time, and sold it for $2k 3 years later. If you do your homework and aren't afraid to get dirty once in awhile, they can be good buys.Ĭase in point: I bought a nice Volvo 850 years ago with only 68k miles off the original owner for $3k. At least I'd have gotten to enjoy driving a BMW than living with a penalty box. I'd rather buy a good-running e46 for $2500, keep it on the road doing the bare minimum with cheap parts, then sell it for a few hundred bucks or junk it in 2-3 years when something expensive finally breaks. Also, everything that made them more appealing to drive than a sentra when new still holds true today: better driving dynamics, safety, comfort, etc.Īs long as you can find one that's been maintained and in decent shape and can stomach doing minor repairs yourself, why not? Provided it's a bread and butter model like a basic C class or 3 Series, and not a complex, high-end S or 7 series, you can get yourself a pretty reliable car for dirt. Personally, I'd rather drive on old Benz or bimmer than a ragged out Sentra for the same money. Maybe i'm crazy, but I can see value in SOME old German stuff for CERTAIN buyers.
