Buying my first car

Asked by Metroboomin33 Dec 06, 2016 at 06:13 PM about the 2008 BMW 5 Series

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

I'm buying my first car and I'm looking for
a car under 10,000 and what I would really
like is a 2008 5 series but was wondering if
anyone has any better suggestions I'm 16
and will drive the car to school everyday
and most likely drive it every day.

Unless you can do your own repairs or have some more money saved up, those cars are very expensive when the need service

Not to offend, but anybody that buys a used BMW in your price range as a first car is making a very foolish mistake. The cost of repairs will likely eat your lunch money up. Ford, Honda, Mazda and Toyota is where I'd spend my money.
