Buying a car.... suggestions?

Man, at least look into it. For what they charge for Buicks and Hondas, you can spend a little more and get a return on lost money to begin with. Take a test drive. See what they have to say. In all honesty, the worst part apart about dealing with a BMW is dealing with the dealer. Snotty attitude, charge too much, etc. Same complaints everyone has about everything. The difference is suggestions for maintenance vs. strapping you for cash.

They build a superior machine. Skihl makes a good saw. Cost X vs. the crappy one. Save X-20%, get junk and end up spending 150% next year later for a replacement, or dish out in the first place and not have to buy a new one?
