Dude, I've owned 2 Audi cars in the past. Never again.

I was an automotive lending executive for 25 years. I’ve never bought a new luxury car and never spent more than $25K for a car. Waste of money. Prices now are ridiculous. I hug my 3 year old Lexus ES 350 every day!
But in the car business, there is an ass for every seat.

I have a (young, early 20s) friend that bought a 2023 CLA 250 and after about a year and a half and 15, 000 miles she traded out to a 2024 C300 (since it has a useable back seat). She took an $11K bath on trade in and was very upset about it. When you are 25 you have time to learn that lesson; I'm 48 and I long ago stopped playing that game. If I buy a luxury car it is either CPO or if new only a Lexus or Acura that I know will run for 15

Stop trying to sell me your POS Audi bro. I have owned three and learned my lesson. 💯💩🤨

I'm also not into going to jail speeding down the road or getting into a wreck and hurting people or myself. A Lexus or Acura is enough

There is a choice between new and used. I bought a 2024 Acura RDX in August for a little over 15% off by buying a "dealer" or "loaner" car. It had 1, 750 miles. Basically, got to avoid the first-year depreciation, which is the worst year. Dealer cars are extremely well maintained and driven gently. If you're patient, you can find these deals within a few months on almost any car.

I would rather buy a used Lexus or Acura than a Mercedes BMW or audi

[Vincent-kezn]

I'll never get any ev or Porsche, but I appreciate your informative video Mark

[wally]

don't buy an Audi, too many problems.

[lisad]

I don't need a new luxury car they can keep them I am happy with a plain Jane car as long as it gets me there and gets me back.

Dang, I bet that RSQ8 was displayed on the showroom floor when new. Now it’s outside mixed in with the A3’s

Sometimes i get the impression that cars meant to be sold on the US market are made from cheaper parts than the almost twice! as expensive European versions of the same cars. I keep amazing myself about all the quality and reliability issues you guys have with your cars. I mean money has to be earned somewhere, right?...unless your cars aren't maintained properly of course.

Literally been watching all ur all videos this morning

Best used car is 07-13 Mercedes s class. 220k new for 1/10th the cost now. Easy to work on. Flagship car that drives amazingly still today. Also still the best looking sclass ever.

Audi’s, Porsche, and BMW’s are money pit vehicles. After 3 years, open up the wallet wide when 💩 starts to break

[HerbsGarage]

Keep going, I like your videos ! You seem to know what you are talking about !!

[johnlacroix]

WOW amazing TY so much, ,Keep up the great work

[sunking]

I wouldn't consider buying a used German car of any make...unless I want to lose a ton of money! New or used...they are a "rolling money pit." I would consider buying a used creampuff Lexus that has CD player in the dash. I think they were phased out around 2019 or so. I really enjoy plugging in one CD at a time...and rockin' down the highway!

[hillbillyflipper]

Great content Mark!! Love Love your videos! You are probably finding out you are so busy being recently retired how did you ever find the time to work a job. Lolol

[antonpandoursky]

People with money don't care about the price I guess 😁Even if something goes wrong, the car is under warranty, so no big deal.
