I am seriously buying an SUV for fun. My mechanic recommends a JAPANESE MAKE (Toyota./Lexus or Nissan?infinity, HONDA/ ACURA). But i find those brands extremely boring and there are too many around. My final choices are a Volvo's 2002 model or BMW's earlier model (2002 or before). I don't want to buy a new one. I have been told that the European imports lose value very quickly.I have been warned by my mechanic to be prepared to spend a bunch of money for repairs. Now - I have many questions. I need your advise. What are your repairs in the first year? How do you like these car makers in comparison to the JAPANESE (if you have ever owned JAP car or SUV before). How about the difference between VOLVO and BMW? VV
