Why Buy Used Luxury Cars?
Automobile prices have been rising since the COVID 19 pandemic, and buying a new car can really set you back. The people who come out on top when buying a vehicle, though, are the ones who buy used luxury cars. Why? Pre-owned luxury cars have many of the features you’d expect from a standard new car, but are a better bargain. By purchasing luxury used cars, you not only avoid the depreciation you face when you buy new, but you also get a higher quality vehicle than you would be able to afford in a new car. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of buying luxury used cars.
Luxury Cars are Well-Tended
People who own luxury cars tend to take good care of them. If a person has purchased a new luxury car with the intent of upgrading in just a few years, that person will maintain the car carefully, so that it will hold its value and command a high trade-in value. For those who lease luxury cars, taking good care of the vehicle and limiting mileage are even more important goals, because of the terms of the lease.
Pre-owned Luxury Cars Match Standard New Cars in Technology
Luxury cars automatically come with features that are considered upgrades in standard cars, like leather, heated seats and sound systems. Additionally, they are the first to have the most up-to-date technology. Luxury cars were the first to have built in navigation and infotainment, the first to integrate Apple Carplay and Android Auto, and the first to have wireless charging. They were also the first vehicles to have safety features like lane departure and auto-braking. Whatever features you are looking at in a standard new car, you can probably find them in a pre-owned luxury car.
Luxury Cars Often Require Less Maintenance
Some people are put off of buying a luxury vehicle because of the cost of maintenance. While maintenance for a luxury vehicle may be more expensive than for a standard car, luxury cars also tend to need maintenance less frequently. Take, for instance, oil changes. When you use synthetic oil in a luxury car, you can typically go 8,000 or even 10,000 miles between oil changes. That makes maintenance less expensive in the long run.
Used Luxury Cars Depreciate Less Quickly than New Vehicles
You probably know that the biggest depreciation on a car occurs in the first two or three years. A brand-new car, whether luxury or standard, loses the biggest portion of its value in the first couple of years, then depreciation slows. Buying a used car helps you avoid this depreciation, yet buying a used luxury car means you get a vehicle with as much value as a new standard car.
Luxury Cars Tend to Perform Better than Standard Cars
This is why people are willing to pay more for luxury vehicles. If you care about performance as well as looks and safety, a luxury vehicle is the way to go. Luxury cars are engineered to perform at a higher standard, and even used luxury vehicles will brake, accelerate, and steer better than a new standard vehicle of the same price.
