What kind of utter clown would buy a brand new econoshitbox when for 1/4th the price (or less) you can get a German luxury car from the period when they weren't money pits?
Corsa:
>looks shit
>boring to drive
>made of plastic and will fall apart
>lets everyone know you're a faggot
>generally just fucking awful
E39 530d:
>looks fucking baller
>hektik skidz everywhere
>pretty fucking damn reliable for a BMW
>women will want to suck your dick
>an all around stellar purchase
Need I say any more?
This is assuming you can find an e39 by someone who can into car maintenance, which in the US is harder than you think.
>>16176605
Doesn't have to be an E39, or even a German car.
I know someone who got rid of a 10 year old Mini Cooper S for a base model brand new Audi A1. Blew my mind.
>looks shit
looks are subjective
>boring to drive
most people dgaf
>made of plastic and will fall apart
that's fucking retarded
>lets everyone know you're a faggot
literally only op would notice
>generally just fucking awful
wow what a real car enthusiast
>looks fucking baller
ebin street cred chav
>hektik skidz everywhere
>implying op can skid

fucking right fucking fucking
>women will want to suck your dick
i.e. OP
>an all around stellar purchase
if you're a chav/turk/gypsy
This has to be the best bait I have ever taken. Thank you OP, you stellar fucking faggot.
>>16176663
>he thinks an E39 is a chav/turk/gypsy car
Kill yourself idiot, pic related is your chav/turk/gypsy car.
>>16176669
That's cute, but a large majority of old BMW are subhuman transporters (i.e you).
>>16176669
Nigga what.
Every older BMW/Merc is a chav/turk/gypsy car.
E36, E39 and E46 especially.
>>16176681
E39 in standard trim is an old mans car, E39 with the MSport body is slightly boy racery but you need to get real if you think gypsies drive them.
>>16176686
E36 and E46 are not an E39 as far as I'm aware.
>>16176599
The shitbox will cost a lot less to run. And you won't look like you're on minimum wage and pretending to be rich
>>16176669
>>16176690
>OP gets triggered because he just found out he bough a POS chav/gypsy BMW
LMAO
I`d rather drive a Corsa
>>16176696
>he thinks people posting on /o/ actually own cars
LOL
>>16176686
The E38 is the gypsymobile around here.
1. Most people want to buy newer and want a reliable toaster.
2. Just because you can afford the car doesn't mean you can afford to keep it maintained. Almost all old luxury cars I've seen are in shit shape because someone bought it using your logic and couldn't keep it up.
3. When buying a used car it's easier to go domestic or Japanese because there's more options so you can find one that isn't shit.
>>16176599
>530d
>d
Kill yourself
>>16176748
>1. Most people want to buy newer and want a reliable toaster
The urge to buy newer is irrational at this price bracket and reliability is a meme. Almost no modern cars are that unreliable for it to actually matter. Just fucking take care of the car and don't be a nigger.
>2. Just because you can afford the car doesn't mean you can afford to keep it maintained.
That's why you're not supposed to spend all your money on a car. Say you have 10k. You could buy a very slightly used depressing shitbox for 10k, or an older luxury car in mint condition for 5k.
>3. When buying a used car it's easier to go domestic or Japanese because there's more options so you can find one that isn't shit.
You have to live in an absolute bumfuck-nowhere to not be able to find an E39 or an E38 in good condition.
>>16176753
t. mad americunt that can't get adequate performance with 50mph and a sweet 6 cylinder turbo sound

More expensive insurance

This plus the camber told me all I needed to know about that guy, that I'd have aborted him at birth were he my son.
>>16176828
That camber looks to be absolutely functional and I don't understand why anyone would ever get mad about aftermarket wheels.
You sound like an autist. Please post pictures of your bone stock 1993 base model Corolla.
>>16176828
>this buttmad over a car he will never own
Makes me want to be a stancefag.
>>16176844
I'm sure camber on a 1800kg saloon is to improve it's cornering abilities, and not because the owner is a faggot who did it for aesthetic reasons.
>>16176784

Old BMWs are cheap because they are planned obsolete turds and no one wants to put up with the headache.
-someone who has owned three
>>16176828
Autist confirmed
Considering OP is probably from Europe, here are the reasons:
-tax on displacement
-insurance
-maintenance
People who buy brand new corsa's aren't driving enthusiasts. They probably think 3l bmws are scary or something.
>>16176909
>tax on displacement
an extra 200 quid a year, big deal (not)
>insurance
just turn 21 and pretty much all cars are about the same to insure
>maintenance
fair point tbqh&f senpai
'They probably think 3l bmws are scary or something'
>implying 280lbs-ft of fury from an inline 6 diesel is anything to be scoffed at
The main point? Fuel economy.
>>16176951
Depends what kind of driving you're doing. Short distance city driving, sure the Corsa will win, but long motorway journeys a 530d would rape it in fuel economy.
>>16176599
Get a motorbike. Bitches love riding bareback.
If she complains, pull a wheelie and throw that bitch off.
>>16176978
It's fun for riding during the weekend in the summer, but only a madman would daily it.

I am that madman, I have a special seat for my big bollocks. Women love it. weekend in the summer? nah, true bikers all day everyday breh.

>didn`t specify if the Corsa is diesel or not
A diesel Corsa will have better mpgs in any situation.
>>16177185
First and last gens are pretty nice, everything in between is meh.
they believe new econoboxes are cheaper and more realiable but in reality they're neither.
>>16176778
>10k
Bought, imported, registered and changet all fluids, brake pads, belts, water pump and rear shocks on my e39 525d for less than 4k euro. The car got perfect engine, transmission and chassis with 600k+ km on the odometer.
>pic related
Also the m sport suspension is sweet as hell
>>16176599
>E39 530d
>women will want to suck your dick
Women aren't into old luxury vehicles. They're just going to assume that you can't afford a new one. Park a mint E36 downtown and the only people mirin' it will be Mandeep and his boys, I see this happen all the time. Meanwhile the guy in his slow new Civic or BRZ is pulling ass. This is how it works in Canada anyways.

Good luck finding BRZ for 4k
generally the excuses will be
>i dont want it to spend all its time in a shop
and
>its old
which sort of ties into the first point i guess
most people just aren't aware of better older cars at all
>>16177652
Good luck affording the maintenance and repairs on a 4k BMW....

Read this >>16177589
You are an idiot if you can't find car in good condition
>>16177734
Driving a German luxury vehicle with 600k+ km's is idiotic. That thing is a ticking (probably literally) time bomb. Also nobody is going to be looking up to you when you drive a 20+ year old luxury car... What's the point?
>>16177589
>paying 4k euros for a 600k+ km car
Is this mjet's retarded eastern yuropean cousin? At least he bought his diesel fiat new.
>>16176599

people who do this are subhuman even by our slavic standards

I can enjoy the E36 or 46 without being associated with shitcunts.

lmao at American riders
As a normie owner of a 2014 1.2 corsa D, it's because it's my first car, bought it start of last year when I just passed my test at 22, mostly to get lower insurance
Going to switch to something else next year once I'm 25, brother wants to sell me his golf gti but I ain't sure yet

People who drive corsas are generally either new drivers or not well off, so here's the logic:
Corsa:
>cheap insurance
>cheap maintenance
>cheap insurance
>did I mention cheap insurance?
>cheap insurance
BMW:
>not cheap insurance
>not cheap maintenance
>>16176599

>women will want to suck your dick
Wrong. Girls don't care about E46, E39 and especially nothing older, unless it's an M3 or M5. And yes, they can tell the difference.
>>16184060
>they can tell the difference.
Yeah, sure they do.
Two bumbers, two mirrors and M steering wheel + straight pipe (optional)
Got that Corsa for a company car.
Really isn't that bad.
OP is just salty because he can't afford a new car.
>>16176599
i have been saying this FOR YEARS dude.
its insane how expensive these fucking worthless trash econoboxes are, compared to a little older Mercedes, BMW, Audi etc.
its pathetic, whenever i see some retard driving around in one i just think
>goddamn what a retard

tfw i was this close to falling for e60 looking like new meme. but i remind myself how unreliable piece of shit they are so im okay now. also im a turk. the answer is always the japanese

Yeah, you're right. LS400 is always the answer. Too bad they're relatively expensive where I live.
>>16176848

>>16186283
and too bad they are non-existant where i live. I have a secret love for LS400 tho
>>16186264
>e39 ABS module fails
Some western european will sell the car for pennies because new module costs 900-1300 euro
and it is not worth.
The eastern european will buy the car for almost nothing and take the module to specialized shop and get it repaired for 75 euro.
>>16186264
im driving my W124 since 40k kilometers now and have not had a single fucking problem. if it NOW breaks, i paied 1800€ for a car i drove for 40k kilometers.
>brotip: it wont break.
it uses 6.5-7.2 liters of DIESEL for 100 kilometers and i can drive it at a constant 160-170 km/h according to GPS on the german autobahn. its huge, i have enough space in it to sleep on the rear bench (i did), the trunk is big enough to fit 7 crates of beer in it and a shitload of stuff on top, and i STILL have space for comfortably sitting of 5 people in the car itself.
pic related, mine.

You're better off walking then. Way less chances of having a deadly accident

Yeah you buy a car for 150k and drive it for 15 years and pay for 10k+ per year to own the car (maintance excluded)
15 years later some slav buy it for 2-3k fix it for 1-3k more and drive it for 2-4 years. Paying 1k per year (maintance excluded) to own the same fucking car.
And you wonder why everyone thinks you are cucked?
>>16186297
Just drive the car without the ABS, ESP and odometer you fucking cunt.
>>16186943
>driving a car with nonfunctional equipment
So it IS because you're poor.
>>16186956
>paying 1500 euros on a 1500 euro car just so it has ABS and ESP
Someone is living in dreamland.
>>16186966
Thats the reason to pay 75 euro to get it fixed (with warranty)
>>16186973
>warranty
>on a 20 year old car
hmm
>>16186980
Here in bulgaria they fix ABS modules for 50-100 euro and give you anywhere between 6 months and 1 year warranty for it
>>16186956
i have never, ever needed ABS in a car. they're very easy to control compared to say, a bike.
being such a shit driver that ABS is somehow important is hard to comprehend, and the flow of traffic around here is 50mph down packed snow and ice
>>16186988
ABS is useless in snow anyway, wheels lock up with 1mm of pedal travel so whats the point.
