I'm guessing you really need to be going up the ranges, or looking at the very pricey marques.
I never really considered how amazing paintwork could look till I had a good look at a Bentley!
But then you read plenty enough about parts bin raiding on cars like Astons, iffy plastics on ferraris etc

agree - even my dads range rover back 8/9 years ago which was mega-bucks still had some iffy plastics dotted about and had signs of parts bin raiding - unless you are buying Bentley, rolls etc I think there will always be an element of penny pinching where they can
my old boss bought a new jag for well over £50,000 and it literally fell apart in 6 months
what you must remember is that although we all spend a lot of money on our cars, they are still a mass produced item rather than a custom hand crafted item and you have to accept the fact that there will be the odd lemon built etc etc
with cars I personally feel you get what you pay for in terms of quality, performance etc etc and I am sure my £35,000 car is better than a £25,000 one
This is my 5th BMW and I have never had any great issues with build quality and I have always felt happy with my purchase
