Got a Yen for Luxury Cars?
If you are one of those that salivate at the thought of the Jaguar you saw the other day or, or have day dreams about a particular BMW or pause to stare unblinkingly when you see that Mercedes Roadster but are not among the other half that can afford these cars, do not despair.
There is still a way of owning these cars; just think in terms of second hand; ooops that is so not OK to say; the correct term being ‘pre owned’. So think in terms of pre owned, and you just may have yourself a really affordable deal, be able to afford precision German engineering at a fraction of the original cost.
Understand that the moment a new car is purchased and driven off the lot for the first time, its sale price promptly plummets. So really the moment a new car is sold, it become a little bit more affordable as a chunk of its value is knocked off instantly. And obviously the older the car the cheaper it is likely to be.
A new Mercedes E350 has a starting price of about 50 grand, but if you look here, this 1996 model is listed on the site for less than $4000!
Think about the fact that a new BMW 7 series is an almost unthinkable $80,000, but when you think in terms of a used (sorry, pre owned) BMW it suddenly begins to make a lot more sense. This year 2000 BMW is listed for less than $8,000/-!
This car site as well, offers you a lot of options in used cars which you can browse by make, year of manufacture, price, color etc. and if you are hesitating because you already have a car and are wondering what to do with it, you can get yourself a quick quote for that as well, and have that listed on the same site for sale, while you browse other cars and decide what you want to get after this. Most cars have the photo on the sale page as well as the mileage, and other specifications of the car listed.
So do some research, as to how many miles that car has clocked, how good of a shape it is in, that it hasn’t suffered any major accidents etc and you could soon be driving around in that luxury car of your dreams!
That is great for the “pre-owned” buyer, but what about the guy who had to watch his car deprectiate in such a short period of time. I think I’ll stick with my Mini-Cooper that has most of these luxuries, holds it value, just as safe if not safer, fun to drive and gets much better gas mileage.
