yes for sure only looking at threw the dealers. not used lots.

would it be safe to go cross brand dealer?

the Jag/ Rover dealer has a couple i want to look at and also have a audi S6 and a 5 series bmw id like to look at. or would i be best to only go to bmw or audi for those

this may all end up being nothing but a pipe dream, i could go to ford and buy an escape new. but for the same money get into something really nice.

DO NOT BUY WITHOUT WARRANTY, LOTS N LOTS OF WARRANTY.

This.

"Who" the warranty is with matters. "Check out" the companies and there pay out policy. Fine print is there for their use against you.

Lease and swap every 2 years if you want a “high end” vehicle. Never buy used. I always see people with older luxury cars as poor people pretending to have money.

wow. that quite the mindset to have.

Since a car is not an asset it may be the other way around.

If you're gonna buy used higher end foreign, make sure its something that has service records. Where you buy from matters less than the history of that particular model.

I'd research the vehicles you are considering first. A lot if higher end stuff has some poison pill maintenance items like certain Audis with timing chains on the back of motors, BMW VANOS, Mercedes 6.3 head bolts, Porsche IMS, ETC. If you're considering a model that has one of these $6k plus services bills make sure its been done at a reputable shop with receipts, or the price is in line to compensate.

Don't buy just the badge, there's a huge difference in what you' expect to pay to maintain a C63 6.3 vs a c63 5.5. Or a C6 S6 vs a C7 S6.

If you can get one certified pre-owned with a manufacturers warranty, that's the best ticket next to new. Remember the purchase price depreciates but the maintenance costs do not.

That said avoid fucking V10 BMW's like the goddamn plague regardless of how cheap they are.

Love the Grand Sports, but they seem to be priced at near Z06 levels generally.

True... Prefer to stay clear of the LS7 with those valve guide issues.
