The Best Used Luxury Cars to Buy Now

Infiniti m It's fairly easy to get half-off the price of a luxury vehicle - just drop a few numbers off the model year and start your search again. Because any car’s value depreciates the second it is driven off the lot, consumers can buy valuable used luxury cars (or CPO's) at, well, the price of an average new car.

BMW: The 2007 328i  or 2004 M3 - A few years can’t put a damper on the ’07 328i sports sedan’s finely-tuned, Euro-style luxury.  The ‘04 M3 coupe, with its high-performance power and acceleration, retains its driving machine durability 5 years after it's release.

Lexus: Just about any model - Lexus, which ranked highest in vehicle dependability by J.D. Power and Associates for 14 consecutive years, has a slew of older models worth the buy today - even the '07 hybrid (the GS450h) gets high ranks by today's standards.

Inifiniti: The 2007 FX35 or 2007 M - A sportier version of the popular crossover, the FX35 strikes an appealing balance of spaciousness, luxe amenities and handling. The M, though sporty and luxurious, retains practicality and has an impressive array of usable tech features.

Acura: The 2007 MDX or 2004 TSX - The '07 MDX deluxe crossover built on a proper (not adapted) platform, with safety & navigation features that cover all bases. The '04 TSX is a fun ride, with styling that still looks modern.

Porsche: The 911, any year - Even the '98 911, which can almost be considered vintage, still packs a lot of punch and holds the "dream car" appellation, without the dream car price tag.

The best time to buy a new car would probably be September and October this is the time when the new models cars arrive

I bought my car in October. Agree with peliporti that`s nice time for buy new car.
The worst time for buy car is January.
Prices for cars are growing markedly, sales are falling, and people did not have so much money after the holidays.

These are truly the finest and the sexiest cars today! great listing and thanks for sharing the list.

The best car to luxury car to buy now, or in the future (for no logical reason) will always be the aston martin!

Used cars are a much more affordable option. When you buy a used car, it's always difficult to tell what you are getting. There may be serious reasons why the owner wants to get rid of the car

Now as Christmas is around and price of the cars has dropped a bit people are going for new cars but when it comes to luxury cars i prefer to buy them second use and do modification accordingly .

Cost of maintenance will be another critical factor to consider as warranty expires.

Jaguar also has some nice certified pre-owned cars as does Benz. I think it's always smarter to buy certified-pre owned luxury. If you buy a model that's just a few years old, no one will be able to tell that it's even used. Why buy a plain family SUV for 30k when you can get a luxury pre-owned at the same price?
