Why doesn't everyone buy German cars? Why would people

Why would you willingly buy an overpriced car designed to last one warranty period before falling apart disastrously?

say what!

german cars are for faggots that either dont know much about cars and parrot shit they hear from their dads or for people rich enough to not care about the extra upkeep costs of driving a car that is more of a status symbol than anything. the only exception to this are bmw enthusiasts but theyre basically the nissan scum of europe

>>17768401

Stay mad, poorfag

>>17767448
I'll admit that they're reliable, but when anything breaks it costs a shit fucking ton to repair.

Also I don't like how they drive normally, everything feels like it's trying too hard to be smooth and for whatever reason German clutches are heavy as fuck

>>17768410
the more ppl buying overpriced cars for minimal gains and running them into the ground the better imo. i just wouldnt ever waste my own time/money on something that appeals to a nigger state of mind

>>17767507
It looks like a clock.

I bought a e46 330ci last month
and then everything broke
1800 in maintenance so far

>>17767448
because i dont want to sink my money in repairs

i rather buy a reliable car

>>17767448

I can't afford cuz i am a poorfag

Is the front axle running through the oil pan? Why?

In Germany's defense, Ford used to do goofy shit like this too. Look up oil pan removal 1990 ford f150. You have to lift the motor to access it. Along with removing a ton of other shit.

>Is the front axle running through the oil pan? Why?

W124 platform is not technically designed for AWD, but some crazy Germans shoved AWD into it. It is like making absolutely impossible into possible.

It works so well, but pitiful maintenance. Remember the richfags will replace it with a next gen MB or don;t give a fuck cuz poorsuckers at service shop will take care of this nightmare.

This explains why W124 is famous for being "over-engineering."

People drone on about the build quality, but in my experience, it really isn't anything special.

wow, all this talk about wasting money really wants me to buy German cars now!

>>17769213
If you are poorfag, you shouldn't buy them.

>>17767454
A car shouldn't need $10k a year in maintenance to be reliable...

>>17767454
Yes Hans the vanos seals are a maintenance item. Which is why aftermarket seals don't wear out in 20,000 miles like the cheap warranty engineered OEM ones. Actually, I don't think they wear out at all. Maybe after 200,000 miles.

Name one european car that na, manual, rwd and with a standard lsd under $60k new.

Even the japs can do it for $30k.

Yeah and then go and make their water pump impellers out of plastic...

It's not like it's hard to replace a waterpump with one that has a metal impeller for $50 or something

Right. I don't doubt that the Germans CAN build a superior vehicle, but they don't. These days they insist on building profitable vehicles over truly great cars.

Do you enjoy power loss and pigfat?

>>17770967
vw's in the early 2000s were built excellently, the exteriors just have this quality look to them that's lacking on their current cars. sure their interiors were specced with questionable switchgear, and they required routine maintenance which to burgers means a car wash and oil change but i miss when vw actually made cars that youd look at and say wow those are nice, now theyre just any easily forgettable car that looks and feels cheap
