Re: New Honda accord or 6 year ol BMW
Definitely a new accord.
Why? Maintenance is the highest expense after the initial purchase. I'd rather not have to worry about running into random issues.
Why not Bimmer? Because although the cars are engineered very well, you don't know how it's been driven and what sort of issues it comes with. Even if it all checks out, what if it gives you issues now or in the near future? Besides a new car will outlast your taste, and most likely get you to your next new car before it ever gives you a problem; whereas, the bimmer is already serving as someone else's giveaway so they could have a shot at a new ride. Get it? :D
Just my 2 cents. :)
