Hmm..I'm really caught in a dilemma in here..I was actually thinking about getting a BMW ( older model ) until someone reminded me about the maintainance cost and the Gas ( think it runs on Premium gas ) which would seriously rip me off... One more thing, while the newest model of any make might look sexy...attractive and stuffs..I'm not looking for them as Insurance is the main issue in here.....Civic 2000 doesn't look anywhere near what the 2008 model looks does it? So when I'm trying to get a 2000 and newer model...why bother pondering about what 2008 one looks like?
