I know you are afraid of the maintenance with Euro/etc, but it does come with a 100K mile maintenance plan.
I just did a quick search. Don't doubt you can find one for a better price,,, but the price for the miles is nice with this one.

btw click the picture, embedded link.

Nice car, but $30k is more than this guy could afford. Thanks anyway.

I understand that but, you're financing it right? So you're pretty much looking at a xxx monthly payment + XXX for insurance. It could turn out that something a little more/nicer and a few more months to payments gets you into something cheaper on insurance (bearing in mind I have zero clue on what insurance for a 1 series would be). Just saying that you should keep in mind total cost of ownership and not just a lump sum purchase price.

Granted, this would be a nice car. But we're talkin' $11k (with interest) more than the $20k max that I mentioned. I don't know how much maintenance that would buy for a BMW (maybe not much!), but it would buy a boatload of repairs for a Ford.
Hey focinite, what kinda mods could you do to a Crown Vic for $11k?
