I'm actually surprised by the amount to shitboxes people in the inner suburbs drive.
My 10 year old optima is better than half the s**t I've seen
You only live once Gring, drive the BenzoHonestly cars are the biggest waste of money ever. Drive the worst car your ego can handle as they say. I'd rather sink $200k into a depot on a property before buying Benz or Tesla.

Wouldn’t dream of buying a base model of either tbh, disgusting.Back in 2009, Proton released the cheapest car in Australia. S16 1.6Litre engine. Roomy 4 door sedan. $13 000 No passenger airbag, no anti-lock brakes or stability control.
We already had an AWD Ford Territory Turbo, ( which my wife took hold of ), so as far as i was concerned it was just to get me to work and back.
It did well for years. I broke a gearbox selector ( which i could have fixed cheap as hell if i had time ) and got a replacement gearbox for not much.
Later my son turned 18 , and i wasn't so happy, without the ABS etc, but he's been driving it since.
Apart from routine maintenance maybe $6000 worth of repairs .
BMW : Spend $50K for the crappiest one, and its worth $40K when you get home from the dealer.
I knew a guy wanted to service his own, and BMW refused to sell him a manual. He got one from a mate in the states.
Their attitude is " oh you need to be an expert to service our prestige german automobiles. "
Yeah sure, you check the fluid levels, change the oil , and probably not even the plugs these days.
Suckers who immigrated from the middle east buy second hand mercedes. They have some assembly plants there , and are known to be cheap to get spare parts and servicing. Good luck in Australia with the german cartel.
( You can get parts cheap, but you need time on your hands, you can get them online from Europe if you are happy to have your car off the road for a month or so ).
My Ford Territory transmission s**t itself during covid lockdown.
I found a guy up in Broadmeadows who rebuilt them and fit them, and he did it for $2500 including a truck carting it up there.
A friend in malaysia had a Mercedes ML250( i think) SUV. When their transmission s**t itself it was $18000 . Which is kind of why people don't want to give you good resale on your 5yo Benz. ( Pure profiteering, their gearboxes don't cost more to manufacture than anyone elses).
10 year old cars in Germany are unusual.
I guess Die Hard Get is a sucker for their bullshit.

Tell him I’ll give him $30k xI hate wasting cash on cars. I have *ed my Subaru already. The dog ate a seatbelt and *ed the leather, I take it into the bush and it's already a mess. If that was something good I'd be crying.
My father in law bought an S class Benz and when he went to trade it after 4 years they offered him $20k for a nearly $200k car. It's sitting in his garage hoping that in 20 years it's a classic....but no one will want a land yacht that that drinks petrol like a truck.

My son's already asked for it but he's decided to stash it. He tried to give me an Audi once because he was embarrassed by our Mazda, I told him it looked like an undertakers car and I wouldn't drive it. He thinks I'm an a bit NQR when it comes to cars.
Do you really want to spend the best part of 100K to sit in the best armchair at the red light.
Mazda's are way better from an Engineering point of view.
Nothing special about Volkswagons and Audi's , ask a German.
1. Yes.Do you really want to spend the best part of 100K to sit in the best armchair at the red light.
The whole thing is "Look at me i'm cool" but its really "look at me i spent a huge amount of cash on one of the fasted depreciating assets i can find " which is a bit like " look at me , i'm an idiot "
1. Yes.
2. Got my car in Oct last year and could sell it for a profit today. Think outside the box Silly Sausage.

Weird direction to take the conversation but okayI have *ed my Subaru already. The dog ate a seatbelt and *ed the leather
Old mate probably toiling away on the 18 hour burger flipping shifts and then getting home like Fred Flintstone.1. Yes.

Sydney v CollingwoodHey so wondering if someone can tell me (with no spoilers) which of the two prelims is a better watch? I’m in the US so watch everything on replay and have managed to avoid hearing about the scores thus far, don’t want to waste my time on a dud game. Cheers
