Look I hear you but forgetting the dealers for parts and service in this case.
My experience goes back sometime and I'm heavily involved in the Aftermarket therefore I have the added bonus of picking up white box Euro parts or from certain Euro parts suppliers.
Having gone through my day of owning beautiful 3series Bimmers and the old man a MB junkie buying new.
I have a great relationship with my local mechanic, its the labour that adds up as well when talking euro more than the good ol local cars.
I got sick and tired that the savings I could make on parts was eroded by labour.
Sure its way better than going to the dealers (robbers) but no way would I be buying a cheap euro SUV/AWD/4x4 with high k's etc.....unless your extremely lucky getting one that by the 2nd 3rd 4th owners actually serviced it regularly.
All to its own I suppose.
