i had an e28 in sweden and the maintenance was a terrible hassle,, and it had much less miles than this one. out of all the cars i have owned including bmw, saab, volvo, porsche, audi (x3) and toyota the BMW was by far the biggest hassle.

I second the suggestion that you buy Certified Pre-Owned from a factory dealer.

Your injury claim will not settle until you are released by all of your treating medical professionals (including physical therapy, etc.). You must reach a point of "maximum medical improvement". That won't be any time soon to get a medical professional to render that opinion. You will first receive the property claim settlement, which should come after both insurance adjusters evaluate the car for repair.

Lawyers cannot guarantee an outcome. I hate it when clients go out shopping for things thinking a number is going to materialize, before all medical care is completed and evaluations are made for present and future medical condition. Don't fixate on that number, you may not get it. (yes, I am an attorney, but I am not going to evaluate your claim for value so don't ask) The attorney is going to take at least 1/3 (more if the case goes to trial or alternative dispute resolution) plus costs. Read your fee agreement carefully. My math on that 25 grand comes out a little different than yours.

Get your car now, don't wait until you are released by your doctors. That will take some time (probably at least a year) before you are released. Once you settle, you waive any further claim for compensation. Buy what you can afford, not what you hope you will get on your personal injury claim. Go to a Honda or Nissan dealer and look at a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. May not be glamorous, but you won't be going in the hole trying to keep up with repairs on it.

Insurance shouldn't be high at all.

its a auto after my hand surgery i dont think i can get a stick. I almost bought a 2004 350z today. it was in so so condition the sales man was like wow u got a good eye for this. i found so many little things the guy was like ok ok . it had a little wine when i gave it gas and looked under the hood and it was sounding a little iffy.

An auto? Boo

see the thing is i wanted to get somthing to get around and who knows mayb it will last for some time. i guess ill keep lookin i really dont wana wait for my law suite money . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Mine has 223,xxx miles on it and I drove it to Arizona and back with no problems at all.. except a tire blowing

i found this http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/ctd/940874231.html

No

Yup, BMW parts aren't really that bad, but any labor costs at a shop that knows what they're doing gets expensive fast...but for a greasemonkey, it's reasonable to maintain. I'm not sure I'd buy it from a used dealership though, I'd probably hunt down a local enthusiast club or something and see if anyone has something for sale...you're not getting stealership prices, but you'll get something that (hopefully) has complete service records and has been kept by someone who gave a shit.
That kind of makes me feel bad, actually, that $3k for an M3 like that is overpriced...I'm looking to spend about that much on a BMW motorcycle that's 20 years older than that car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Luckily, I have a guy here in Bloomington that only works on VW's and BMW's. He is always hundreds of dollars less than anyone in the area and always does a great job.
