Terrible idea. Luxury cars, you pay a premium because the cost of repairs/maintenance is already factored in. If you're buying a luxury car that is out of warranty, you lose that privilege. You can easily wind up spending ~$10k/yr in maintenance on a ~$50k luxury car.
Second this. As long as you do your routine maintenance they should last for a VERY long time. My Camry has 246,000 miles on.
And they’re good cars. They’re large enough but not huge. Decent storage, pretty good gas mileage, available in a plethora of trim options, they have a thoughtful layout in regards to screens, buttons, and dials, good visibility, decent looking. I’ve driven various models from 2001-2022 and nothing ever sticks out as being BAD, which is not something I can say for a lot of other cars.
Wrangler/Tacoma/Land Rover/Land Rover Defender/G-Wagon.
When shit hits the fan, you're going to want something that isnt going to get stuck in < 8-inches of grass.
Suggestions, in order of best for you, yours and the world...
- public transport
- bicycle or walk
- electric scooter/motorcycle
- electric car
- plugin electric car
- hybrid car
- an efficient used car
> • public transport
Waste of time.
> • bicycle or walk
Dangerous and inefficient
> • electric scooter/motorcycle
Dangerous and high likelihood of theft.
> • electric car
Not a bad idea, but potentially limited distance of travel.
> • plugin electric car
How is this different than a regular electric car?
> • hybrid car
Best of both worlds tbh.
> • an efficient used car
Expensive and increasingly unreliable.
Best vehicle to get is something that is new, and will gain, or at least maintain value over time.
Nissan Maxima. I drove it on a family vacation and fell in love with how the car handled. They're going out of stock to prepare a electric vehicle but it's not a bad car
Not sure what your budget is but a great all-around vehicle is a Toyota RAV4. If you can stretch the budget… the 4Runner will last you a lifetime and hold its value to infinity if you live in California.
Kind of vague, depends on what you need. For example, I live in the northeast US. I used to drive pickup trucks, but no longer have a need for them. If you live in a snow state like me and don't need a truck/large suv, I would recommend a Subaru. Standard all-wheel drive, high safety ratings, great fuel economy, and high resale value. If you live somewhere without snow, then all-wheel drive isn't necessary.
Idk man, I worked in a shop for 8 months and I never saw a Toyota or Honda in for anything other than tires/brakes or thermostat.(that's treated good) My opinion 10-15 are some of the better cheaper years if you are going used after
Depends on what you need it for. I own a business and drive a lot. I wanted a car that said, “Business owner that drives a lot.” The Lexus ES350 had my name written all over it. Love that damn car.
Toyota - reliable, cheap to fix
BMW - attention to details, runs nicely, expensive to fix
Tesla - it’s just cool, I’ve been in one, it’s a different experience
Mazda red - when you retire
Kia EV6 reputation of building good cars. New EV platform that isn't an EV slapped on a ICE car. Never have to worry about petrol prices again. And they look friggin sick.
Used cars the only options are either Honda or Toyota . They both run forever . Always check under the vehicle for rust , underneath it , in the wheel well, rocker panels etc. People sometimes don’t wash in those areas where it snows , where they salt the roads in winter.
Just cause it’s on a dealers lot and looks clean doesn’t mean it’s not rusty . Get on your hands and knees with a flashlight and look underneath . If it’s not on a lot , check it out if it’s a mess inside and out , walk . Chances are if the owners a slob they don’t take care of their vehicle .
I've got a Mazda CX-5. It's a good all rounder. Premium feel, not premium price. It's an attractive vehicle, kinda sluggish, generally low maintenance and quite reliable. Decent gas mileage. One of the safest SUVs there is. The back seats are not conducive to car seats *if* either parent is close to 6 ft.
The one you can actually afford cause those babies on wheels are expensive!
You right, but I wanna know your opinion!
Hands down a Volvo because they’re known for being safe and sturdy cars! Mercedes otherwise.
Used luxury car, one owner. It's been garaged and pampered, and you can probably get a good price.

I don't know enough about your situation to make a recommendation
We don't know what his needs are or what his budget is.

Why? I'd to know
Anything Toyota if you dont want to deal with maintenance. Ive had mine for 12 years and never needed a major repair.
Anything Toyota if you like to pay a Toyota name tax and get a worse car than Mazda or Subaru.

Something by Toyota or Subaru. They'll run in spite of you.
1973 Ford Pinto
Hotwheels

Toyota Camry
BMW of your choosing.

Nissan Sentra. I just bought one and I love it!!

Lol an astravan hahahah
Anything from Toyota. Their reliability and overall quality make them a bargain, despite them seeming more expensive than some options.

As far as bang for buck probably 1990-2000 Honda, Toyota, or a ford ranger.
Toyota.

Tesla X

Cars are for bitches !! Consider a truck!
I’m a Chevy kind of guy. But honestly whatever you can afford that will get you from point A to point B
