BMW or MERCEDES?
 

I am thinking....for $20k...what's better to get?

20k won't get you much of a bimmer or a benz

For 20k You will get a better used Benz...

Benz :)

it will... but used... and in europe

benz is better

i know several people that have taken their benz to 200,000 miles

with a 20k BMW/Merc you're gonna look like a faggot-ass wanabee

I could snag a late 90s M3 for a bit less right now.

Most adults could care less what other people think they "look like".

bmw

but obviosly not you, since you want to buy a "status"car ??

My wife has a loaded 2004 5 series BMW and I must say the car is pretty sweet to drive... definitely more than 20k though.

hmmm...don't know...cars are probably cheaper in europe..especially here...i think i can get one nice c class mercedes from 00' for that money
not new but not bad when u compare car wich i have now:)lol

I drive and collect VWs. Hardly a status car. :1orglaugh

BMW all the way man! Buy yourself a 94-95 bmw m3 :thumbsup

20K won't get you a new one unless you know someone... hehe

I prefer MB personally, but I do like both auto makers.

I've got a buddy trying to offload a 1996 M3 Convertible. Wants $18995 for it.

AUDI! :glugglug

what does it have to do with the thread ?

we're talking about BMWs here.



I said that someone who wants to spend 20k on an old, stripped down BMW or Merc is a paya-wnabee faggot.


A new toyota is 10x better for those money.

BMW for sure:thumbsup

bmw...i love my little 3 series convertible :)

So by your logic a brand new $20k Toyota Corolla would be a better ride then say...a 1998 BMW M3 for about the same price?

Sure dude. I can see you're just out to troll today. Spewing nothing but retarded garbage. :1orglaugh

Tough to pick which one I'd choose. :1orglaugh

BMW if you ask me.

Theres plenty of used BMWs and Benz' on Autotrader for around $20k. For 1997-1999 I prefer the look of the BMW over the Benz.

got a golf r32 ? :Graucho

Not yet. Drove one the other night. My buddy was working on one for a friend and I just had to get behind the wheel.

BMW = Brings Me Women

vs.

MERCEDES -Most Eccentric Rich Capitalists Enjoy Driving Expensive Sedans

I'll take the BMW

:Graucho :Graucho :Graucho ,let's take a ride together...:winkwink:

That is complete BS

You can get a decent MB for 20k that will be way better than a toyato all across the board.

only 48k miles nice condition - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...2 452&rd=1#lg

not too bad either http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...26282 29&rd=1

BMW all the way. Unless you were born before 1940, than a Mercedes might fit as well...

go with used 320D - very realaible and cheap car.I also had 1 some time ago

If I were to choose from those two brands, BMW.

mattter which models you are looking at in that price range. I would say benz but not sure what you could get for 20k

BMW

A friend got the new Golf and it's very nice car, you should consider it. With $20k you can probably get a nice 320i cabrio of 95-97. If you ask me it looks better than the new model.

Or a new honda or acura

You're not going to get ANY new Acura for $20k.

If you go with the Honda name, $20k will get you a little Civic or a base model Accord where you'll be rolling up your own windows.

I am pretty sure you can get a new RSX for 20K. Better than driving a used BMW or Mercedes and have people think your rich with big money in the bank.
