The 78 yo gentleman is about to buy himself a new BMW X1, in California. Cannot find the right words to talk him out of this move. Does not even want to lease. Told him all I knew about these one-way plastic moneypits, and ran out of words. Maybe you could think of something pursuasive? Thanks in advance.
There is no fool like an old fool. I hope he has a lot of time to spend in the service department waiting room.
He's 78. Let him buy whatever the hell he wants if it makes him happy.
It reminds me this shirt design from Scotty:
Find someone whom he listens to.
Let him have it. Perhaps it is his last car. What does he have now?

What are his arguments for BMW?
"What are his arguments for BMW?"
He likes the way it drives and looks.
Has he tested more reliable brands that look and drive the way he likes?
Some people just like to learn the hard way. It is what it is, not sure there is any more you can do especially since he won’t even lease the vehicle.
