Not only that but the sensibility on the behalf of the N/A distributors?(I know as w/ every buisnesss they're in it to make money) It's like you need to be making a brick thick yearly income(probably six figures to be comftarble unless you mooch) in order to afford an entry level German car!!! Not only that, but you have to consider upkeep as well, and parts for German cars sure aren't cheap. Because of all of the things I've mentioned before, it seems that the buying public concurs in the form of multiple term leases. Which sucks, because these are cars that I thought were meant to be enjoyed a lifetime?

I guess this is what the second hand market is for....???....
