What kind of utter clown would buy a brand new econoshitbox when for 1/4th the price (or less) you can get a German luxury car from the period when they weren't money pits?
Corsa: >looks shit >boring to drive >made of plastic and will fall apart >lets everyone know you're a faggot >generally just fucking awful
E39 530d: >looks fucking baller >hektik skidz everywhere >pretty fucking damn reliable for a BMW >women will want to suck your dick >an all around stellar purchase
This is assuming you can find an e39 by someone who can into car maintenance, which in the US is harder than you think.
Carter Peterson
Doesn't have to be an E39, or even a German car.
I know someone who got rid of a 10 year old Mini Cooper S for a base model brand new Audi A1. Blew my mind.
Cameron Fisher
>looks shit looks are subjective >boring to drive most people dgaf >made of plastic and will fall apart that's fucking retarded >lets everyone know you're a faggot literally only op would notice >generally just fucking awful wow what a real car enthusiast

This has to be the best bait I have ever taken. Thank you OP, you stellar fucking faggot.
Samuel Gray
>he thinks an E39 is a chav/turk/gypsy car
Kill yourself idiot, pic related is your chav/turk/gypsy car.
Samuel Harris
That's cute, but a large majority of old BMW are subhuman transporters (i.e you).
Christian Davis
Nigga what. Every older BMW/Merc is a chav/turk/gypsy car. E36, E39 and E46 especially.
Chase Campbell
E39 in standard trim is an old mans car, E39 with the MSport body is slightly boy racery but you need to get real if you think gypsies drive them.
E36 and E46 are not an E39 as far as I'm aware.
Brody Lewis
The shitbox will cost a lot less to run. And you won't look like you're on minimum wage and pretending to be rich
Leo Brooks
>OP gets triggered because he just found out he bough a POS chav/gypsy BMW
LMAO
Jaxson Jackson
I`d rather drive a Corsa
Evan Hernandez

LOL
Austin Barnes
The E38 is the gypsymobile around here.

1. Most people want to buy newer and want a reliable toaster. 2. Just because you can afford the car doesn't mean you can afford to keep it maintained. Almost all old luxury cars I've seen are in shit shape because someone bought it using your logic and couldn't keep it up. 3. When buying a used car it's easier to go domestic or Japanese because there's more options so you can find one that isn't shit.
Robert Adams
>530d >d Kill yourself
Jason Miller
>1. Most people want to buy newer and want a reliable toaster The urge to buy newer is irrational at this price bracket and reliability is a meme. Almost no modern cars are that unreliable for it to actually matter. Just fucking take care of the car and don't be a nigger. >2. Just because you can afford the car doesn't mean you can afford to keep it maintained. That's why you're not supposed to spend all your money on a car. Say you have 10k. You could buy a very slightly used depressing shitbox for 10k, or an older luxury car in mint condition for 5k. >3. When buying a used car it's easier to go domestic or Japanese because there's more options so you can find one that isn't shit. You have to live in an absolute bumfuck-nowhere to not be able to find an E39 or an E38 in good condition.

t. mad americunt that can't get adequate performance with 50mph and a sweet 6 cylinder turbo sound
Jayden Morales

Normies think newer = better More expensive insurance Normies are scared of maintenance

That's not even stance you retard. Why don't you go breathe some of that diesel soot and die
Landon Gomez
>aftermarket alloys >on anything >ever
This plus the camber told me all I needed to know about that guy, that I'd have aborted him at birth were he my son.
Camden Campbell
That camber looks to be absolutely functional and I don't understand why anyone would ever get mad about aftermarket wheels. You sound like an autist. Please post pictures of your bone stock 1993 base model Corolla.
Dominic Sanders
>this buttmad over a car he will never own Makes me want to be a stancefag.
Austin Wood
I'm sure camber on a 1800kg saloon is to improve it's cornering abilities, and not because the owner is a faggot who did it for aesthetic reasons.
Daniel Edwards
>talking shit about americans that have 7 liter Cummins and shit >he's content with adequate performance
Dieselfags I swear.
Michael Flores
Why wouldn't it be 2bh
Bentley Scott
>he thinks 'adequate performance' is anything other than an excuse to rev the piss out of your car in traffic to blow smoke on people
Old BMWs are cheap because they are planned obsolete turds and no one wants to put up with the headache.

Jace Barnes
Autist confirmed
Kevin Taylor
Considering OP is probably from Europe, here are the reasons:
-tax on displacement -insurance -maintenance
People who buy brand new corsa's aren't driving enthusiasts. They probably think 3l bmws are scary or something.
Jason Rivera
>tax on displacement an extra 200 quid a year, big deal (not) >insurance just turn 21 and pretty much all cars are about the same to insure >maintenance fair point tbqh&f senpai
'They probably think 3l bmws are scary or something' >implying 280lbs-ft of fury from an inline 6 diesel is anything to be scoffed at
Jordan Garcia
The main point? Fuel economy.
Leo Sanders
Depends what kind of driving you're doing. Short distance city driving, sure the Corsa will win, but long motorway journeys a 530d would rape it in fuel economy.
Jackson Ortiz
Get a motorbike. Bitches love riding bareback.
If she complains, pull a wheelie and throw that bitch off.
Robert Baker
It's fun for riding during the weekend in the summer, but only a madman would daily it.
Luke Roberts
I am that madman, I have a special seat for my big bollocks. Women love it. weekend in the summer? nah, true bikers all day everyday breh.

Lincoln Murphy

A diesel Corsa will have better mpgs in any situation.
Cooper Williams

they believe new econoboxes are cheaper and more realiable but in reality they're neither.
Ryan Young
>10k Bought, imported, registered and changet all fluids, brake pads, belts, water pump and rear shocks on my e39 525d for less than 4k euro. The car got perfect engine, transmission and chassis with 600k+ km on the odometer. >pic related Also the m sport suspension is sweet as hell
Brayden Walker
>E39 530d >women will want to suck your dick
Women aren't into old luxury vehicles. They're just going to assume that you can't afford a new one. Park a mint E36 downtown and the only people mirin' it will be Mandeep and his boys, I see this happen all the time. Meanwhile the guy in his slow new Civic or BRZ is pulling ass. This is how it works in Canada anyways.
generally the excuses will be >i dont want it to spend all its time in a shop and >its old which sort of ties into the first point i guess
most people just aren't aware of better older cars at all
Christopher Myers
Good luck affording the maintenance and repairs on a 4k BMW....
Joshua Watson
Read this You are an idiot if you can't find car in good condition
Hunter Hughes
Driving a German luxury vehicle with 600k+ km's is idiotic. That thing is a ticking (probably literally) time bomb. Also nobody is going to be looking up to you when you drive a 20+ year old luxury car... What's the point?
Aaron Butler
>paying 4k euros for a 600k+ km car Is this mjet's retarded eastern yuropean cousin? At least he bought his diesel fiat new.

As a normie owner of a 2014 1.2 corsa D, it's because it's my first car, bought it start of last year when I just passed my test at 22, mostly to get lower insurance
Going to switch to something else next year once I'm 25, brother wants to sell me his golf gti but I ain't sure yet
Nolan Parker
it's a shitskin like most BMW drivers

People who drive corsas are generally either new drivers or not well off, so here's the logic: Corsa: >cheap insurance >cheap maintenance >cheap insurance >did I mention cheap insurance? >cheap insurance
BMW: >not cheap insurance >not cheap maintenance

Why buy a Corsa or a E39 when you can get a Fiesta
Josiah Green

Lucas Roberts
>women will want to suck your dick Wrong. Girls don't care about E46, E39 and especially nothing older, unless it's an M3 or M5. And yes, they can tell the difference.
Lucas Roberts
>they can tell the difference. Yeah, sure they do. Two bumbers, two mirrors and M steering wheel + straight pipe (optional)
Sebastian Jones
Got that Corsa for a company car. Really isn't that bad.
OP is just salty because he can't afford a new car.
Dylan Perry
i have been saying this FOR YEARS dude. its insane how expensive these fucking worthless trash econoboxes are, compared to a little older Mercedes, BMW, Audi etc.
its pathetic, whenever i see some retard driving around in one i just think >goddamn what a retard
Ryder Taylor

Not for someone who can do work on his own car and lives in Eastern Europe, where parts are cheap and plenty.
Austin Phillips
tfw i was this close to falling for e60 looking like new meme. but i remind myself how unreliable piece of shit they are so im okay now. also im a turk. the answer is always the japanese
Brody Adams
Yeah, you're right. LS400 is always the answer. Too bad they're relatively expensive where I live.
Noah Myers
>pic
Ian Collins
and too bad they are non-existant where i live. I have a secret love for LS400 tho
Hudson Cox
>e39 ABS module fails Some western european will sell the car for pennies because new module costs 900-1300 euro and it is not worth. The eastern european will buy the car for almost nothing and take the module to specialized shop and get it repaired for 75 euro.
Nolan Gutierrez
im driving my W124 since 40k kilometers now and have not had a single fucking problem. if it NOW breaks, i paied 1800€ for a car i drove for 40k kilometers.
>brotip: it wont break.
it uses 6.5-7.2 liters of DIESEL for 100 kilometers and i can drive it at a constant 160-170 km/h according to GPS on the german autobahn. its huge, i have enough space in it to sleep on the rear bench (i did), the trunk is big enough to fit 7 crates of beer in it and a shitload of stuff on top, and i STILL have space for comfortably sitting of 5 people in the car itself.
pic related, mine.
dew the fucking math.
Easton Bennett
The "stacey texting" phenomenon is global you fucking moron. I'm not even American

Only E39 worth buying is the M5
Daniel Hall

yeah nah, think I'll stick with my agile, modern '14 plate Yaris Hybrid over some ancient lumbering piece of shit kraut wagon
David Edwards
>The eastern european will buy the car for almost nothing and take the module to specialized shop and get it repaired for 75 euro.
...and then it will break in another year or two.
Pic related, typical eastern european car repair.
Logan Gonzalez
>>what is insurance 400 euros a year vs 200 euros a year Not enough of a difference to make me want to drive a small shitbox >>what is road tax There is none, actually >>what is fuel economy 1.9 TDI tier when fitted with LPG equipment >>what is safety You're better off walking then. Way less chances of having a deadly accident
TL;DR you're cucked into driving a 1.2 shitbox with plastic seats
