A used BMW is the classic example of a car that is cheap to buy and expensive to own. Depreciation on German luxury saloons and SUVs in India is severe, so a car that cost a very large sum new can appear within reach after a few years.

Independent specialists reduce the cost but do not remove it.
Complete authorised service history is not optional — treat its absence as disqualifying. Establish whether any extended warranty is transferable and still live. Have a marque specialist inspect the car before purchase, with particular attention to electronics, cooling system, suspension components and any oil leaks. Then price the next two years of scheduled maintenance and ask yourself honestly whether the budget survives it.
