Mercedes? :)

Fits the first, dunno about the third. Certainly not the second -- Benz are some of the best-engineered and built cars in existence.

Maybe BMW, aka Bunch-a Money Wasted or Bite My Wallet.

I wouldn't insult a quality car like that. Ive heard nothing but good stories about them and it's something I'd buy myself. Very safe to drive...

Ok. How about the new VW beetle? I've heard they're crap- not as good as the original, expensive, poorly designed, break down a lot, and driven by little teeny boppers with money to waste buying just for the frilly stuff. Does that fit the bill?

We'll take a vote- all in favor say aye... :P

Might I suggest a 1983 Renault Alliance? The first car I ever owned and it was ... what's the word I'm looking for ... ah yes: horrible! i would have traded it for a VW Beetle any day. :-)

Actually (a bit late) . . . if you want something that costs too much, breaks down a lot, and never uses standard parts, you're looking for a Jaguar circa 1990 or earlier. I'm not sure about after that. They sure do look nice (Aero Glass), but there are better-looking cars out there that don't break down all the time (like Aqua and Compiz Fusion), and some of them even cost less.
