Have you ever owned registered and insured two vehicles at the same time before? I'm curious if you know you're trading one problem for at least two.

Well I'm not to worried about the registration or insurance it's like 6% sales tax here in Texas and about 90 a month to get it insured since I'm buying cash I just need liability.
It's because I've spent about 14k in repairs over the years on my camaro it's been superchargred 2 times already and I'm looking to keep it but not as my primary car. |

Your list of cars your looking for is definitely on the higher class scale. When I bought my Camaro I knew I couldn't drive it everyday. So I searched craigslist and bought a used cavalier just to get around in. Worked for me for almost 2 years. But the wife got pregnant, (still trying to find the bastard lol) and I dumped it for a 14 cruze that I leased. It worked out for me so my Camaro is paid off and in another 2.5 yrs I'll give the cruze back and find a car to buy.

I bought a 99 subaru legacy wagon in stick shift for $1800. Its comfortable, low key, manual, good mpg, and I couldnt possibly care less where I park it or what happens to it. I can afford to light it on fire and buy 5 more.

Why is the Camaro breaking down so often? These are relatively new vehicles.

My car when I started college was a BMW. They're reliable, especially under a 100k miles. Only thing I had to replace on my 7 Series was my brakes. OP that's like comparing apples to watermelons. Two different things, especially cost and satisfaction wise.

Used BMW's, especially 335i is among the worst car reliability wise. In fact, the 335i rated the worst car ever for the first few years of production.
