BMWs/Mercedes are the only foreign vehicles id ever allow to grace my driveway.Never had enough money to seriously consider not doing my own maintenance. But I'm naturally a bit if a tightwad, too. So i hate paying someone to do something i can do myself.
I did lease cars for a while. But that was a special situation. It was the employee lease program here at BMW. No down payment. They took care of all taxes, insurance and maintenance. AND I was driving 30 miles each way to work. It just made sense to put the miles on somebody else’s vehicle. It was still expensive and I got out of the program after a few brief years. I definitely enjoyed always having a brand new BMW in the driveway.
I actually really liked the few mercedes's ive experenced.
