I was looking for an old mid 2000s Jaguar to have as a daily driver. I never knew how nightmarish it is to maintain the electronics, I do know that the 4.2 v8, the 4.0 inline 6 engines are great. The 3.0 v6 engines are from ford but still reliable. But I failed looking for one, due to almost everyone having an issue, except for one, but it was in a really shady dealer which I avoided after one visit. I ended up with a Lincoln town car, the crown Victoria is really good too, you cannot beat a classic

These things are incredibly expensive to maintain. I own a shop and see them all the time. Avoid the German cars. There's a reason all my techs drive Toyotas.

BMW has got many of their issues fixed and have very high reliability ratings. No, I don't want one. The truth is if you want a performance vehicle you gotta pay to play. If you want reliability over performance buy a Toyota. They make great vehicles, boring to drive but very good. I did the boring car thing all of my life. As Mark says, "Life's to short to drive boring cars!" I got to that old age where I want to live a little. What ever you do Do Not Buy A Ford!! Lololol

As a European, I can never understand the fascination and obsession with BMW, what is the big deal please? They are terrible in the snow and ice, oil leaks aplenty, plastic engine parts, constant issues with engine mgmt lights, overrpriced parts and service, and so on and on and on? Someone please explain? To me BMW's have always been just a slightly better than average car, not quite at Mercs level, but above most other European brands.

I suspect plastic engine beauty covers may be part of a crumple zone/ cushioning system for a pedestrian who has been struck (as a second layer between the hood and the hard valve cover), however I have not confirmed this. They're probably there for pedestrian protection regulatory compliance...

I am surprised that Scotty doesn't mention the innately shoddy electrics on Audis. After around 5 years of average use they develop intermittent faults and open circuits, often needing major attention to what used to be called 'looms'. As cars became so dependent upon on board computers (usually located in stupid places), manufacturers should have beefed up hard wiring but few bothered. Given that Audi started from a low point in this regard I am amazed that anyone buys them.

I currently have a 2017 V6 Accord with almost 300,000 miles. Never needed any repairs and has been incredible in every way. Next I am considering the Honda HR-V, because I have a kid now. I don't like the EV direction Honda is going in. Toyota has the better idea of focusing on hybrids. My next car might be my last Honda :(

No luxury car has good resale value. Even a 2020 Mercedes E350 can be bought for under $25k in great condition from a certified dealer, while a brand new one costs almost $70k. That's a 65% drop in value in only 4 years.

@@midiman5045 Compare Acura, Infinity, Genesis, etc, and you will see that they are very much in the same league as Lexus. Lexus is a Toyota and that's the only reason for its resale value. And just like any car, if you don't maintain it, then it will be a money pit. If you have a BMW or MBZ and it's a money pit, then you're not taking care of it correctly. When properly maintained, those cars will last a very long time. Do they cost a little more to do it? Yes, but that's the idea behind luxury cars, they cost more and the build quality is better. I go to Newport Beach 6-7 times a year, and I don't see many Lexus' at all, or BMW's for that matter. People are commuting in Mercedes and Bentleys. Lexus is for the inland-folk.

And they are usually more straight forward to work on than German cars. I dont know why people are scared to work on these. Just because it looks exotic doesn't mean it's difficult.
