Question:
My husband and I are considering buying a used BMW. A local dealership has a great price on a 2002 model, but my husband is having second thoughts because he said we'll spend a lot of money when it breaks down because parts are so expensive. I said BMW are better made, so we won't have to worry about that so much. Any used BMW owners out there want to comment? (I asked the same question of Mercedes owners because we've looked at both).

They're well built cars, but not indestructible. Servicing isn't too pricey - I'd recommend a marque specialist rather than a generic garage, as they tend to be more familiar with the idiosyncracies of particular models.how much is Mercedes clk 320 in india?

The car may still have BMW warranty on it - in the UK, as long as you always have the car serviced at a main dealer, BMW allow you to continuously extend the warranty as long as you like. Sure, it's not the cheapest option, but it's good cover.

I'd say buy the car, but get a good warranty, even if it costs a little extra. They're very nice cars, and have a solid, quality feel to them. Look after one and it'll serve you well for a very long time.
How reliable are ACURA INTEGRAS? I was thinking of getting a 2001 GSR...?
Service and parts are rediculously high for BMW. I had to get a hose and it cost me almost $200. Servicing it is expensive because it is an import, small, and suprisingly cheaply made. They use a lot of flimsy plastic in the engine bay.To be brief:

1. Your husband is right
2. They are made well but not infallible: oil leaks, electrical bugs
3. Get an extended warranty if you must buy a used BMW or Mercedes.
