“If a car payment prevents you from saving, investing, moving out of your parents house maybe or even taking the risk to change jobs. You don’t own that car, the car owns you” best quote lol

I agree on not getting a new car. Cars lose their values the most the first 5 years. So 5 years is the sweet spot 👀

Lots of wisdom in this video. I’m an older retired guy. I agree with everything Justin said. I was able to retire at 58. Follow his advice. Never buy a new car. Depreciation sucks.

I recently bought a used e89. I do almost all my own maintenance but I still had the best BMW Indy around do a pre-purchase inspection. Cost $125. He gave a good written report and I’m using that report as a list for preventative maintenance I’m doing now.

Gold tip: never buy a car from a tuner

My best friend just bought a half a truck . New . I'm still shaking my head at what he did.. spent 57000 on a 2019 chev Colorado. Payments are 650 a month . With 200 insurance . So 850 a month just to drive a half size truck . I told him let me buy you anything just give me a limit on what you want to spend. Nope . Went to the dealership . And the rest is history . Oh yea he also got the 8 year warnty. Fackk.. I'm still shaking my head .. good video man . Don't be like my friend everyone .

Scooped up my e90 330i for $6800. Best car I've ever had :)

I was just getting ready to ask if you were a Dave Ramsey fan, and then you referenced him. Cash is king!

Great content Justin, Love watching your videos brotha! I own a 2007 328XI and it’s been quite a journey with this baby. I purchased it Jan 2017 with 99k miles, right at the 10 year mark, when everything started to fail LOL

It’s a beautiful car with only 1 previous owner who had it serviced always at the dealership, but a few months into my purchase things unfortunately started happening lol

I’ve done all repairs by DIY, because if not I would legit go broke lol As of now I’ve change the Starter, Control Arms, Strut Mounts, Battery, Bulbs, Valve Cover Gasket, Ac Hose Line, Alternator, and more lol

Bought the car for 8k and over 10k into it now. If I sell it I will be lucky to get 7-8k back. For all my people out there, just do your due diligence before getting into something!

Like the saying goes “ you can’t own a BMW and be in a relationship at the same time” 😂
My girlfriend hates my car, and for now I’m still in this love triangle haha

I think a good tangent to add on to your “research the car” point is look at mileage reliability and part/service cost. I’ve owned my 335i for 6 months and am now in debt because of failed parts.

Justin - another really nice video. I really must agree with the “Don’t buy any add-ons at the Dealership”. You’re right these things cost way too much. We were leasing my wife’s CLA250 a few years ago and they tried to sell us a $700 paint sealer/treatment. Now on a 3 year lease that made no sense at all as the paint would surely hold up and the extra cost would have been a total waste.

Just bought a bmw 2002 for my first car and I got completely screwed over. Just brought it in to a shop and they said it will cost more to get roadworthy/smogged than what the car is worth. ALWAYS get a pre purchase inspection it’s worth every penny and also if you see any red flags like rushing the deal or anything RUN AWAY. Also I didn’t keep any extra money to fix it so that was a big mistake. Anyways I learned a lot and this video covers a lot of what I learned the hard way.

I haven’t watched the video yet these are my mistakes over the last few years (obviously now I fixed up, my current car is good). The most important one is checking the car over even if the car is $1000 just to get your shirt dirty and go underneath the car check for oil leaks check for signs of accident damage like in the boot the front bumper... see that the fenders lineup and also check all over and make sure the electronics work, do you know how much a simple window regulator can cost? Or do you know how much the AC can cost to fix? Meaning check this stuff.
Also if you’re buying a car on finance add up all the figures.. even if it means wasting the dealers time ... be sure find out exactly how much the car is costing you too you can’t trust most dealers they’ll add on their own markup you will never know they are very sleazy. If the car is of high value something like $4000 or more just pay a mechanic to check the car up trust me you’ll never regret it.

All facts. I made the mistake of buying too much car when I first got out of college (VW MKV GTI). The maintenance costs killed me 😅

[jaxplata]

Right on point Justin!!!
You covered the most important!!

[seanquattro]

Bought my Acura TSX private, noting but the best car I’ve owned to date 👍🏽

For the heater part of this video be cautious with kerosene. It can produce a black smoke that's not visible to the eye and it will cause a black film on everything in your garage and cause you to get a headache from the fumes. I switched over to a propane heater for my garage for that reason

Justin, I've been following your channel for some time now and you are getting better at it every time. Keep up the great work. Your videos are a great help. Also, you mentioned the Water pump and I know it is common on BMW's to go bad sooner than later, have you had any issues with it?

Your new home looks great ! Enjoy it guys !! Now, I bit off subject, I was planning on installing an armmotorsports intercooler . At first I thought that I had the solution on running my engine ( 2012 335i E93) a bit cooler. Of course I will be happy for the extra oomph and gas savings, but that is not the answer. I would like to know if there is any way that I could run the engine cooler. Take into consideration that I live in Miami, and is hot as hell !! BTW I'm running my Beemer on a set of Kumhos 225/40/18 on a set of Racing Dynamics wheels, I love the way they look. Thank for any info

Hey Justin, did you get a PPI on your e90 or f30? I’m buying a 2018 230i with 39k miles 1 owner and debating if PPI is necessary. Thanks!

[davidjimenez]

Totally agree with you. But buying a new car is the biggest mistake for the lost of value soon as drive out of the dealer ship.
