I'm sure many of you read Jalopnik, and a popular post on there is a "You could buy this expensive used car for the price of a new Accord!"
Today's post featured a red E92 with 110,000 miles on it:

To which many haters came out and said "BEARINGS, STAY AWAY!" It irked me so much that I went and responded in the comments about how it's a small amount of cars, many factors go into it, every car has an it's own issues..but it's like talking to a wall.
Maybe because I bought mine new, and it is a post LCI, I feel my chances are ok for bearing issues. But even if considering a used one, if I really wanted it, I'd just factor in the additional cost of changing out the bearing when I bought it. What's the job, an additional 2,500$, give or take?
Why is this car different than an RS4 with its timing chain? Or Porsche with it's IMS issue.
I think I'll go drive through a tunnel windows down now...
