FJ had a differential ring gear break, multiple front axle shafts leaks, 3 failed throw out bearings, driver door lock stopped working, drivers seat would not hold height adjustment, and a few other issues. All fixed under the bumper to bumper factory warranty. With 1000 miles of that warranty left and facing the potential of having to pay for repairs on that pile of garbage... well after the last clutch repair I drove it straight from the Toyota dealership service department to the Jeep dealership and traded for my Rubicon. Which I now have 120k miles on since 2011 and never an issue never left me stranded and proven to be the most dependable vehicle I’ve owned tied with a 1997 Honda prelude Type SH. To answer the OP.. all my rides are beaters lol

The Liberty is a 2004 and if you were to ask me if I would consider buying another one I would say HELL NO!. At 40k miles a piston blew out of nowhere. Had to fight Chrysler to cover it. Rear power windows have broken 4 times. Driver's side once. On the 5, I opened the door panels, used a heavy duty zip tie and locked it in place. Enough of that nonsense. Overall, the car hasn't given me much trouble but I don't really drive much. My cousin has a 4 Runner late 90s, that thing is still going! |

if you want a real vehicle get a pre 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser or a hilux. diesels but LOL Jeep fanboys like a moth to a flame coming to the defense of their beloved General Purpose most simple overpriced vehicle being manufactured. The wrangler is the only thing that keeps dodge and Chrysler in business because the profit margin is so high bc they've been making them so long and they are so simple and people just can't get enough of them and for the most ridiculous reasons like because the majority of the time people say I just like being able take the doors off it's so cool LOL �� those things are downright dangerous and outdated and dude you bought an FJ cruiser? And that color? And now a 328 I mean I'm just not even gonna say anything |

You’re wrangler comments are just nonsensical. I can tell you this, wranglers are expensive in your opinion because your comparisons are downright silly. When you say they are expensive what are you comparing that with? Yes they are expensive if you are comparing with other crossover suvs designed for road use that have none of the specialized features of a wrangler. They are expensive because they have features other vehicles don’t and incorporating them cost more. Wranglers can’t cross platform and make for cheap development like other SUVs and vehicles. No other vehicles have folding windshields and meet 2020 crash standards. No other vehicles have 4 removable doors or even 4 door convertibles. What car/suv besides wrangler and m4gts comes with a roll cage off the showroom floor? Name another vehicle with front and rear locking differentials and tell me what is its MSRP? No other SUV’s have solid front axles which are stronger and superior off-road (hence why f250 and Ram 2500 have them and not the weaker 1 ton trucks like F150 etc.). If my FJ would have had solid front axles I wouldn’t have experienced all those front end issues, and the great landcruisers of old had solid axles also. All these things cost more to incorporate that’s why your comments are silly. It’s like comparing your M5 to a Camry and saying the Camry seats 4 and has leather the M5 is way overpriced. Well not so, the M5 was designed to perform to a different standard and that cost more and we need to compare with other vehicles designed around those parameters. (You wouldn’t think to cost compare a purpose built race car to a commuter car right, even though both can drive on the road?) The problem is there really aren’t any vehicles to compare Wrangler with, so you are doing the best you can but it just doesn’t work. The FJ happened to be the closest comparison to be made recently and that’s why one ended up in my garage, but I can tell you first hand even it doesn’t offer the same capability or feature set and it’s not a good comparison. Enzo Ferrari once said “The Jeep is America’s only true sports car” because he understood it was purpose designed and excellent in meeting the purpose it was designed for which is very specific and not the same purpose as other SUV’s like your 4 runner which is a road vehicle with some off-road ability. Wrangler is designed first for off-road so it isn’t entirely fair to compare to other vehicles which are not primarily (as in foremost) designed for and/or nearly as capable in that area. If seeing a bigger picture than your ignorant statements makes me a fanboy, then so be it. But what I have stated is the truth ha!

What's wrong with that color? If I was to get an FJ I'd get that color too, I think it looks pretty nice. And why the 328i hate? That's a lot of smack talk from someone who has an old $35k M car.

You are assuming a lot. I bought my 340i and I sold it in 3 months. I owned my Audi S4 and pretty much every car prior. I don't need to "own" a car to boost my ego so you can say I don't own my car all you want, I'll be in a new M car in 3 years or less. Poor me! As for my color preferences, you know exactly what you were doing. You were attempting to shame me because my preference isn't popular. In fact pretty much all you've done in this thread is shame other members. There is a $36k '14 M5 in Redondo beach btw so whether I under or overvalued your car only proves that you either overpaid or underpaid. Your retort that I undervalued it tells me you were offended that I thought your car wansn't as expensive as it is. Does that mean you sensitive to how expensive other people think your car is?

Leasing is a rich man's game IMO. Anyway, back on topic. Leasing a car is a good way to have a fancy "beater" that you can just turn in after you're done. If I were in CA, an i3 would be very attractive. |

You called me out for my car history, am I not supposed to defend myself by giving you a more accurate picture of my current car situation? As for slamming you for your car, how's that medicine taste? Does it taste like a blue FJ cruiser and a 328i? I bet it does!

and thank you for letting you know you don't know what you're talking about either. - if you treat your lease like a beater you will pay dearly because the dealership will make you pay to repair anything and everything you have damaged and if you go over the allotted mileage allowance that they've given you they will charge you $.10 or more for every mile over... NO rich person is going to lease so that a dealership can dictate to them how many miles they can drive and what they can and can't do to the car! Rich people don't do so well with other people telling them what they can and can't do, especially with their possessions here you go Mr. Bilzerian, a brand new Ferrari, oh by the way you can't put but 150 miles on it per week and if you don't bring it back in immaculate condition we're going to charge you out the ass for any tears in the seat that you're hot ass sluts put in them with their stilettos .. Yeaaah.. NO.. , you are all fools blowing smoke up your own asses to make yourselves feel better about your shitty decision making, reasoning, logic, deduction etcetc etc. This is what I get for accidentally posting on a non M5 board .. lesson learned |

lol everyone's finances are different. sometimes leasing is better, sometimes financing is better, sometimes just buying the car outright is better.
low exposure is a big part of leasing. You can use your money to invest and make money rather than parking it all in a depreciating asset like a bmw long term. You could do the same with financing but it will require a large down payment.
