Looking to get a used 750i with about 100k miles for $15k, not planning on keeping it long maybe a year or so, drive about 20 miles a day, maybe 40 on off days, can these cars drive a year without needing maintaining or will give me problems from day 1?

    You ever watch a horror movie and immediately know some characters are in for a rough time? That’s you. You’re one of those characters if you buy that car thinking it will be inexpensive to maintain for a year. It’s probably already thinking about how many failures it will give its next owner.

    If you want to flex for a year use Turo, don’t buy a money pit with hopes it doesn’t sink you.

    Go on swap a lease and find one with a year left. Enjoy it for a year and everything is covered. You’ll spend close to the same without having to worry about maintenance.
