Ok, I know that there have been dozens of these threads but it's my turn. I need a late model, 4-door sedan for a job I'm considering. Maybe 2010 or so? Nothing older than 2008. I do not want a new car.

Used BMWs are shockingly cheap out of warrantee. I'd be spending a fair amount of time in the saddle and they drive awesome+look good. Obviously, I can do the simple maintainance myself, like oil changes and brakes.

Just how freaking bad are they to justify their bargain basement prices? I was pretty shocked. Search 2010 3 or 5 series on ebay to see what I mean.

I'm also considering a Prius, (I know), those are actually the smartest choice from a Moneyball angle but I'd much rather drive a Beemer. Other typical rentacars are an option, ie. any late 4-door on the road.

Talk me into or out of this. Thx.
