Dodge challenger or BMW 540i
Hi everyone, I’m planning to purchase a used car in the $30k–$40k range. I currently own a 2019 Honda Accord 1.5T, but I’ll be giving it to my dad. My annual income is around $70k, and I plan to put $15k–$20k down on the next vehicle.
Up to this point, I’ve mainly owned Honda and Nissan sedans, and they’ve been extremely reliable with just routine maintenance and regular upkeep. Right now, I’m considering two options: a Dodge Challenger and a BMW 540i.
I’d appreciate some advice from owners or anyone with experience regarding:
Insurance costs
Maintenance and repair expenses
Driving experience and comfort compared to the Accord
Overall reliability and long-term ownership expectations
I know Hondas are known for lasting a long time with basic maintenance, so I’m also curious whether the Challenger or 540i can offer similar reliability if properly maintained.
