This. I drive a bmw 3 series. It retailed for $41k in 2004. I bought used in 2011 for $11k. It's now worth about $4. I still drive it, my maintenance costs are minimal, about $250 a year (I do it myself)

Did you mean to write $4k? Because I will absolutely buy your 2004 BMW 3 series for $4.

lol, yee, yes i did mean $4k; and no, hard enough to even get me to consider selling for a newer car, much less for its value or less.
