How To Buy a $100,000 Luxury Car For $10K: Depreciated Luxury Heroes | Buy or Bust Ep.7 

Only if you are not capable

@@macbook802 nope I’m not capable.

True. As they often say, if you can't afford it new, you can't afford it used either.

@@macbook802 still going to cost a lot more to fix then a Toyota or Honda...

@@polska905 you're assuming, when you assume it makes an....

If you are a DIY owner maintenance is simple and cheap. If you need to pay someone to do maintenance dont buy it. The only expensive item is brake components. Repairs are simple but original parts are expensive. Get the best example with good record and use them. The more use the better they behave, they need to be driven constantly.

@@jobselebron5835 simple and cheap... C'mon.

@@jobselebron5835 A lot of these newer luxury cars require incredibly expensive computers to reset things after maintenance. They are not DIY friendly at all. They're engineering high end cars more and more to require dealer-only maintenance.

We have a 13” Quattroporte (4.7) for 2 years and it’s been terrific. What’s true is the parts are expensive. What you’d think is $50 is $500. The plug and play automatic transmission selector that shows PRND got delaminated and was $635! But popped it in myself easily. We got ours with a warranty and only 1 thing went wrong some thing behind the speedometer that was making a slight whirring noise. It was $1,900 plus $800 to install at the Maserati dealership. Covered by our Warranty though. Oil changes there are $485 covered again by warranty. Otherwise I’d do it myself. That’s it. It’s fast it’s got 485 Hp so same as a 22” Dodge Challenger 392 Scatpack and does the same top speed at 180 mph. Plenty of space and it’s super comfortable with leather everywhere inside. The steering is alive and great and it’s basically got a Ferrari F430 engine. Plus you get the rest of the car thrown in for free cost wise today in 22’ think of it like that and it’s really a bargain. Life is too short to drive a boring car like a new Toyota or Honda.

@@palebeachbum haha so a new $35,000 Camry doesn’t ? I sat in one recently an Uber driver had one in a state I was visiting. I thought oh looks decent. About a block down the road I said Jesus I’d never buy one of these. The back seat on that “ luxurious” up level model was terribly uncomfortable. I was seriously thinking about getting out and calling someone else but it was dark and late so stayed put. Thank goddess I spent the same and went for a 13’ Maserati Quattroporte instead. 🇮🇹

Ooh do tell more Charles!! Was the intake farmed out to a subcontractor experienced with weaving that nylon? I’d love to hear more of course 😊

The part was injection molded as all nylon intake manifolds. This was a multi piece part as is the most common process. Normally they would be vibration welded together. But that requires another set of tooling for welding fixtures and the vibration welders. Great for a 200,000 to 1,000,000 part per year run. Much tougher to afford for a 500 unit a year vehicle. So we helped develop an adhesive bonding process that fit with the small production run. It cost more per part but it eliminated all the tooling and equipment costs. It worked better than a typical welded intake manifold and we never had a warrantee claim.@@chrisdooley1184

Keep smellin those Maserati farts there buddy

Do you need a lift to maintain them?

Plot twist...that person was you 😂

@@ovoxo2220 I wish. That would have been epic. Too bad it sold below reserve.

They can definitely pump out a lot of content on a budget. Loving the series

Well car companies aren't giving test drives to amateur RU-vid channels anymore.

I've had two 430s. They will always have a special place in my heart

And a 460 is better than any of these cars shown! Will last forever and is a great car

They do look beautiful though, don't they?

They don't really exist, they never made it to 100k

You must have test drove a brand new one. By 10k miles those things were complete garbage. I guess the same can be said for most VAG products.

I throw up a little bit when I see them

I had the 335 and it ate high pressure fuel pumps.

Old plastic parts melting and falling off because they run so hot. Dont get me started on having to unlock the menu with a single lever and a number of paths to take just to get to the engine temp. @@aussie2uGA

Engines are not their problem. The engine swap is way more expensive. You buy this cars for their engine.

Oh geeze, walk away now! lol I had an earlier Maserati and they look so good for a reason - they never stay running. I spent tons on the car and prayed it would act right during it's sale. Never been so excited to see a car leave my driveway.

Infinity made amps & speakers. 2003 to 2013 Infinitis, for the most part, are tanks. I'm on my 2nd G, had a first gen from 2010 to 2016 and this second gen, final year G37xS since 2016. Never a single major repair, biggest scare was a rad going out due to salt corroding the bottom fittings. (Canadian Winters) ...just about 300,000 km driven without issues between the two of them.

Lol Infinitis aren’t as bad but most are dogged and driven hard. The genre of People Who Dr., Lexus are completely different than Infiniti drivers.

Infinitis are solid. They don't have the cvts Nissan has. Just make sure you don't get one with a bunch of owners as they usually end up in the hood somewhere.

Yea! I misspoke, exactly right

@@TFLclassics keep em coming though, love it!

These cars were NOT 100k new lol

Ha, that Maserati was for sale on our lot! Lot of lookers…. No takers!

Ha!! I had a '09 Passat 2.0T with the nav and sunroof and Bluetooth for music and just adored it. Engine burned up though at 132k miles. I loved that car to pieces and don't know what happened. I'd buy another but lower mileage and absolutely no known issues or misfires or oil consumption of any kind.

The generation after this had far worse handling. These drive great.

They are not, actually on that big luxury car segment are the best drivers cars available. They look awesome on the driveway and they will not cost $100,000 to maintain.

You driving an 07-08 G35x with the HR? Solid car. Same chassis as my daily '13 G, same motor as my '07 roadster.

They came with around 140hp

@needabettername in the States, all we received were the 335d. Stock 280hp 420tq ish
