Is the BMW 335i a reliable car?

I have a $30k price limit for a car. I like the 2012 335i sedan (F30). How is the car compared to the Ford Fusion and Chrysler 200? (those were my previous cars, and they were always in the repair shop)

Also, are the maintenance and repairs really expensive for the 335i? Apparently, Edmunds says it will cost me $3600 per year. Is that considered to be a lot?

What other cars would you recommend below $30k? I just want something that's reliable with some luxury.

How much will the value of my car change after an accident?

I rear ended someone, and my car is in the shop. I just got the estimate that there's $6,000 of damage mainly to the front end. The car itself is a ford focus (2014) and was purchased for around $15,000.

Also, when I sell my car it is no longer 'clean' and it is 'rebuilt', correct?

thanks!

Added (1). to clear up anymore confusion, I'm going through with the repairs, I wanted to know how much will the value change once its been completely repaired…

I have a 2008 Ford Fusion can it still turn over with no oil in it?

Was driving the car and it shut off lights and radio wouldn't come on so I bought a new battery and it turned over and everything worked but soon shut off so my dad thought maybe it was the alternator but then we had a mechanic look at it and he said it had a blown head gasket but there's no water oil mix can someone please let me know what it could be or if you had similar problems

2007 Ford Fusion Problems?

I recently bought a 2007 Ford Fusion for pretty cheap because the A/C doesn't work. I figured I would be able to fix it pretty easily but I was wrong. I have bypassed the A/C clutch relay and then everything works just fine so the problem must be before the relay. I'm starting to think it might be the PCM because I get a "check charging system" warning before I start the car that disappears after I start the car, and also the anti-theft light continuously flashes. With both warning lights it seems the normal symptom is the car not starting or only running for a short time and then shutting off (from what I've researched online). I'm wondering what else besides the sensors could be the problem with the A/C? Also, if the car starts and runs fine, is there any reason to be worried about the warning lights I'm seeing?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Added (1). Oh and one more thing. I found a used PCM on ebay for roughly $50 and was thinking about just trying to replace the PCM. Then I did some research and found that I might have to reprogram the new PCM to work with my car? Anyone know if I actually need to do this?

Added (2). I have also switched the relays and the relay works just fine in the spot for the windshield wiper relay.

Will replacing a tire with one size smaller, hurt anything?

FWD Ford Fusion, hit a giant pothole, has a 225 size tire, but the local used shop only has 220(?) he said its one size smaller and he ll throw it on for me until they get a 225 in stock. We can't afford a new $120+ tire right now, otherwise we obviously wouldn t be asking this question. This guy sells nice used ones for $20-$40 a piece installed and balances the wheel as well. I've bought numerous tires from him so I trust his work and word, but would like a second opinion since I've never ran an odd size tire.

The car is FWD, and the tire is the passenger rear.

2015 or 2016 Ford Fusion S invoice price? Preferably in Ontario?

Anyone know 2015 or 2016 Ford Fusion S invoice price? Preferably in Ontario?

Added (1). Trying to find what a good price to pay is. Trying to get an idea of how much profit there's there for the dealer between what is costs them and what they're asking.

Added (2). What I'm asking is how much does the DEALER pay for the car. I know how much they ask for it. I want to know what they get it for from Ford. I can then have an upper hand negotiating and have a better idea of what room there's to play with.

Should I have to pay for my spark plugs to be replaced?

My engine misfired in my first cylinder. It was diagnosed that my ignition coil and spark plug caused my computer to short. My mechanic ran a diagnostic. I have a 2007 Ford Fusion. I did some research and discovered that it is very common for computers to short due to a bad ignition coil and spark plug. I authorized him to replace the computer. I asked him specifically do my spark plugs and ignition coils need to be replaced. I was told no by my mechanic. He also replaced some other things that included a motor mount, rotors and brakes. On Friday I was told my car is fine and back to running properly. Literally three days later my car is shaking when I drive, brake and in park very bad. I take it back and I'm told I need new spark plugs and ignition coils. I refuse to pay for this work when I was told I don't need literally on Friday afternoon I didn't need the

2015 Chrysler 200 LX or 2015 Ford Fusion S? Or Dodge Journey?

I need to purchase a new vehicle and have been to a couple dealerships so far (Chrysler/Dodge, Hyundai, Ford, Mazda),

The two cars that stick out the most are the Fusion S and the 200 LX.

I have not test driven these vehicles yet but do plan to before any decision is final. But I would like an idea of whether or not one is a clear better option. I feel largely in todays car market it comes down to how the owner cares for the vehicle (i.e. Undercoating, responsible driving) but I'm wondering if either of these cars has any pressing flaws that I may not be able to tell on a test drive?

I plan to check a couple other brands today but going into this these were already my favorites and seeing them in person did reassure that thought.
