I can relate to this. When I wanted to get a BMW, everyone was telling me how expensive it would be to fix, etc. At first I didn't want to hear it from anyone and I thought I knew what I was doing. I really didn't care what everyone else said about it.
But then I realized on my own that they were just trying to help me out and that it would cost me more overall than a car that's not as high maintenance. So I ended up getting a nice Ford Explorer (this was BEFORE gas prices were going up). And I'm pretty happy with that - the payment isn't too high, my insurance is low (for someone my age) and it's not expensive to fix. Oh, and it's still a nice car! So maybe everyone is just trying to help you make the right decision, ya know? It was hard passing up the beamer when i could have had it but I'm glad I did it because there is no way I would be able to spend $1000 on some little part that would cost like$ 200 on my Ford to fix, for example.
Good luck and let us know what you get!
