The fellow who owns this car reports to have had it since 2006 and with 56,000 miles. As of last year when he wrote the review, it still had under 100,000 miles. I agree with him that any car, regardless of if it is a luxury brand, should not cost thousands in non-maintenance repairs with relatively low mileage, and only being 12 years old. I would be looking for a different car too.

Best thing to do is not buy a car for image or to impress people. Buy a car that fits you and that you like.
Most people that buy cars to impress others usually end up hating that they did. People will be impressed when you have a nice car, but they are no where around when it's time to get things fixed. Plus if they are dating you just because of your car, is that someone that you truly want to be with? Are they really dating you in the first place, or dating your car? If they are that impressed with a specific car, or love it that much, then they can go out and buy it instead of mooching off you to buy it, and not putting in anything for upkeep.
