Depreciated Teuton: 2002 BMW 745i
When I tell people that I publish a website called Daily Turismo, they cock their head sideways — like a puzzled golden retriever — and ask follow up questions. To describe DT, I use words like “curated collection” and “used car listing aggregator” to describe these hallowed pages. But the truth is, I should just send them this next car, because it describes DT in a way that is unequivocally precise; a mostly modern and supremely comfortable BMW 7-series with a salvage title and 144k miles on a 4.5 liter DOHC V8 that is offered for less than four large. Yes, it will have strange random issues that you’ll need to search on forums and videos for solutions…but you’ll end up smarter and better by the time you can afford a better car. Find this 2002 BMW 745i offered for $3,950 in Menifee, CA via craigslist.
I’ve got to spend a few minutes dissecting this photo. Here we’ve got a box of Minute Maid orange juice (who still drinks OJ, I thought the sugar/carbs thing was out nowadays) and a bill fold of unknown size rolled into the other cup holder. It’s like the seller is saying: “I’m such a baller, I just throw my hundos into my cup holder, right next to my juice box…cause that’s the way the honeys like it.” While this car looks like a great cruiser to head to Vegas for a long weekend, gas is expensive and parts aren’t cheap either…maybe head to the nearest Indian casino instead?

Brokeass luxobarge! Perfect for me.
Nobody is driving during this Coronatimes anyway…so might as well park a really depreciated luxobarge in front of your house, but you might need to push it to the other side of the block on street sweeping days.
“Yes, it will have strange random issues that you’ll need to search on forums and videos for solutions…” You just described how I spent most of my Thanksgiving weekend fixing the right rear caliper/ e-brake on my recently acquired 2006 Audi A8. And yes I enjoyed every minute of it.
This car will break you. Emotionally & financially.
