Luxury on a Budget: How to Drive in Style with a Used Car

If you’ve always hankered for a luxury driving experience, but never been able to afford more than the most basic new model, you might be missing a trick. Opting for a used car can give you a range of choices and also bring some luxury models down into your price range, giving you the car of your dreams for a rock-bottom price. Let’s take a look.

More Choice

If you buy a new car, you tend to be limited to cars that have been produced in the last six months or so. This means that the range you have to choose from is quite limited. Pre-loved cars are still usually in great condition for the first four or five years of their lives (depending on how hard they’ve been driven, of course!) which means that you can have a choice of some nine or ten times more models than you would if you rigidly stuck to getting a new vehicle.

Additional Extras?

You don’t even need to choose a luxury model to enjoy an extra level of comfort in your driving: sometimes cars are sold after they’ve been driven for a year or so, after they’ve been had extras added in. Heated seats, special tints on the windscreen, customised upholstery, and even metallic finishes on the body – any and all of these might be yours as standard because that’s how they arrived at the dealership!

Second-Hand Success

One thing that is seldom mentioned when it comes to second-hand cars is the fact that cars sold as reliable used cars tend to be sturdy models that have already stood the test of time and are likely to keep doing so for the near future. Unreliable cars, those subject to recalls and breakdowns, will have been winnowed off the market long before you came looking for your next new-to-you car. This tends to mean that any cars sold by reputable pre-loved car vendors are not only in good shape for their new owners, but also that they have been tempered by time, so to speak, and will be sturdy and reliable for the duration of your warranty.

Better Car for Your Money

And, of course, the obvious reason for buying a high-end but second-hand car is that you will get a much better car for your budget if you opt to go second-hand. That pricy luxe model that you cannot possibly afford when it’s new rapidly depreciates in book value, while the car remains a perfectly functional and very good-looking vehicle, making it a great investment and something of a status symbol at the same time!

It absolutely is possible to enjoy luxury driving on a basic-car budget! All you need is a little ingenuity, patience and a really good second-hand car dealer who will match you with your dream car!
