Well this is how it is. My parents are pretty much paying for my first car, and they want it to last 10-15 years or till Im done with college and have a good job to pay for my own car. I've been looking at old used BMW's but this is my parents rules,
1. Needs to be reliable.
2. If you we buy you a nice used car and it breaks down, your paying for everything to be replaced.
3. Since Im getting a nice car and since its rather pricey, The car needs to be a 4 cylinder and the smallest engine they have, that way insurance is cheap. *With this, pretty much cuts out any luxury car*.
