Not to make you feel buyer's remorse, but...
The mechanic that works on my cars and has for at least 20 is highly
trrusted. When, at around 40,000 miles my Audi began to show signs of real
maintenance costs. I decided to replace. I asked him about what would be low
maintenance. He pointed out that the most maintenance intensive cars are
German high end, and certain English cars. Lowest are Japanese. I purchased
an off lease Lexus IS350C. Put in oil and gas, drive, repeat.

Should be getting it delivered tomorrow (while I'm in Colorado--grrr).
I think one or more of you might be familiar with it. I was going to
just get another Jeep, but had one of those "Tom Scales" situations
where you encounter a wrong dealer having the wrong vehicle for the
wrong market. Able to get it for well below wholesale.
More airbags than the Michelin Man, and enough leather to equip an
average cattle farm. The features have features. Fully checks out.
BMW X5. We sprung for an extended warranty on it, because just one of
the common part failures could cost more than what the warranty cost.
Even with the warranty, it's way below retail.
We checked the history and maintenance records of it, and it seems
like half of the X5s are lemons and half are great. This one looks to
be one of the great ones. If not, well, that's why the warranty.
