Cheap Luxury Cars Shopping 101
Pre-purchase Checklist
1. For What Use?
Having a definitive idea of why you’re purchasing a luxury car will narrow down your choices and speed up your search. For example, if you are a professional who wants to drive finer wheels to work, you’ll have to look for work-appropriate models. If, on the other hand you’re a newbie collector, you can start with entry-level models.
Your purpose for purchase will help you decide if you should consider options like buying used luxury cars.
2. Your Definition of Cheap
The meaning of the word cheap is relative. Depending on your budget and means, “cheap” is in a spectrum. This is something you also have to figure out. Ask yourself: do you want to buy cheaper, lower-end models or do you want to own a certain car at a lower price?
3. Look for Models You Might Want
Upon setting your budget, you can browse the internet to look for potential cars you might want to purchase. There are a number of used luxury cars that cost under $50,000, like the Porsche Cayman or the Audi A8. If you have a car in mind already, you can search for potential sellers online.
The Search
1. Ask Within Your Network
If you have a pretty big circle, you can ask your friends or colleagues if they know car traders or dealers selling the type of car you are looking for. This is especially helpful if you are looking to buy used luxury cars. In addition, haggling may become easier if you’re purchasing from a friend of a friend.
2. Look Around Your Area
Check car dealers around your area if they have luxury cars that fit within your budget. If you’re okay with buying used ones, you might get lucky with classified ads or listings at your workplace.
