I actually expect the insurance to be less but I calculated my current one. But, I did forget to include my yearly registration, about 450 per year for my current car, dunno what the next will be but seeing it is weight based, it should be less

Haha well, I have to whether I like it or not.. I need to have my name on the title for 6 months if my wife and I indeed decide to move to Europe.. If I don't, it's going to cost me a couple of ten thousand dollars in taxes and import costs :S (and then I might as well have bought one there as the difference would be nothing anymore lol).
But yeah, I have to say, it does give a good feeling knowing that I don't get any monthly costs for a couple of years for financing/leasing

As another data point I have had 3 3 series BMWs. Each one bought as a CPO with about 30,000 miles and sold when the warranty expired at around 98,000 miles. I drive a lot and put a lot of miles on the car so I wanted to always make sure it was under warranty. For me it is a comfort since I never had a major warranty issue (unlike a Merc E Class that was in the shop every month I owned it). In any event my only cost has been tires, brakes, and oil changes. Also by buying CPO, the cost of depreciation has always been minimal (about $6,000 per year and that is with putting 30,000 miles a year on the car)

2. The most i had to shell out? $1000 on tires. Don't get rtf.'s imho. Ride is worse than normal tires and way more expensive. 3. Everything is covered that you don't cause. 4. Barely. had stupid issues on my 03 325i (wiper motor, window regulators; etc). Took about 3 days. Had a 528xi loaner the whole time. |
