I work in preventive car maintenance. DO NOT BUY USED EUROPEAN CARS. AMA.

[AyoTech]

I have worked on hundreds if not nearly a thousand cars. That experience is starting to add up in what I see everyday. First, don't buy an used European car: you will not make it with maintenance/cost of owning those pieces of chit!!

Not only are they delicate as hell, everything that can possibly go wrong goes wrong.

Brb no OIL dipstick in mercedes/bmws.
Brb everything sealed
Brb leaks everywhere
Brb every bolt/nut has a correct torque

Not saying Euro cars are bad (they're one of the finest cars ever) but working on them is highly complicated and too expensive for their own good.

NOW, compare that to Jeeps.

Holy Hell. What a difference. No clutter under the hood. Everything is easy to see, work on.


But yeah, fuk BMWs, especially. Never getting those poverty cars of peace (ironically).

Would rather get a new Grand Jeep Cherokee (100% dead srs).

I'm more mechanically (naturally) inclined. Worked as a PC repair technician, oddly, a few years ago as well.

Pls go.

Edit: lol, willing to bet you can't even do your own oil change. Gonna guess you're one of those *******s.

I like BMWs, I just wouldn't buy one without a dealer's warranty. Even then you're probably gonna be paying top dollar for basic ass oil changes. No thanks.

Wrangler's are legit. They have REAL skid (metal) plates. Unlike most European cars (plastic, they protect nothing).

.

The fact that you included this as if it is something specific to Euro cars makes me question your knowledge.

[AyoTech]

Teslas are electric, a whole different market. I wouldn't even call them cars, if they didn't have tires on them.

Real talk: the preventative car (fossil fuel based) maintenance industry will also die off with electric cars in the future 20-30 years from now.

All cars do. But most BMWs have hollowed oil pan bolts: one more slight turn and you break that chit off, with the bolt stuck inside the pan. Whose bright idea was that in the first place ? ? ? ? ? ??

Now, take a NORMAL car, and you can realistically over-tighten it without fuking it up. And worst comes to worst, replacing an oil pan is easy but not on BMWs.

im aight

[dolanpls]

well see i don't have my ass oil changed ever, so i'm good to go

[KaWaBrAh]

so what your saying is dont buy european cars because they're well built but mechanics like you dont like working on them?

gotta be a idiot if you buy an expensive car but cant afford running/service costs

[AyoTech]

Stopped reading here. my c63 amg has an oilstick u tard

not the newer ones.

u on that poverty time cuz?

[YellowOnYellow]

Used european car no good.
So a new european car is good to go?

[MVHagey]

No mechanic likes eurotrash cars

Depends on how you define "well built." More like overly complicated and very specific. Those cheeky kunt engineers designed them so only specialized tradesmen could work on them and protect their jobs.

Simplicity is the golden rule to everything doe

[Tarck]

Are there any exceptions to your "no used Euros" rule? I love European cars, but have always bought Japanese for their reliability and low cost of ownership. My last several cars have been Acuras. Are there any nice used European cars I could buy next that wouldn't have me crying tears of blood every other week?

If you get a dealer's warranty, you're good to go.

But after that warranty you better pepper your angus and hope ur taking care of it.

I had a Jeep last for 300,000 with no major problems.

Then I traded it in.

if you're going to buy used, just go under the hood and make sure everything is sealed and there are no obvious leaks/noises. Most retards buy cars and never check underneath -- which usually tells you 90% of what's wrong with a car right away. Oil leaks, tranny leaks, differential leaks, drive-line leaks are pretty obvious things to check for and for larger SUVs the fittings (unless they're sealed). Also: an oil leak doesnt' mean it has to be actively leaking, sometimes that chit is spread all over but hard to tell from just "test driving."

I've seen pretty nice BMWs drive up, but once I get down there holy hell!!!!!!

[mugotu19]

I just bought a prius instead of A4 because I was afraid of the repair costs. Will buy a new Audi when ceo 10k a day.

Audis are a pain as well.

Buy Euro, but buy NEW.

Otherwise pepper thy angi.

What are some of the absolute worst, avoid-at-all-costs models from the last ten years or so? The kind of used car to produce headaches you wouldn't wish on your mother's rapist?
