All,
Really really appreciate your input. I am still swaying all over the place with what to do. I am not really set on any replacement vehicle that I really like. I am not simply trying to get approval to move away from the X5, but I am just really paranoid about keeping it. I am worried that I am gonna drive for 20k more miles and need some major repair that makes it immovable or unsellable (or both) like AC dies or clutch goes or something. The thing is maybe Global Imports just has me running scared or something. I feel like everything ...even the most minor of things is 250$....and a couple minor things (like CV Boot in theory...not major mechanical problem right..just wear and tear) is 1500-2000$ (that's a big number!). So I am worried "what happens when a real problem occurs?" If a few hoses and rubber boots are 1500$ whats a new AC system...or navi headunit....5000$? 7000$? It just seems crazy. Maybe I am just being ridiculous though. I have enough experience and knowledge that any car you own (even if its a Hyundai, Toyota, or Nissan or whatever) dealer maintenance out of warranty is always a rip off...but the reputable indy's aren't even much cheaper. I just don't see how planning for 3-5k in maintenance on a vehicle per year keeps it cheaper than a new (but I may be skewed as I feel I have done pretty well with buying and selling at the right prices in the past). The only real difference is I REALLY like this car....which maybe means fix it and deal with it right??
