Dipping your toe into the luxury car market? Going used is the golden ticket. Why? Because depreciation is your friend here. Used cars can be just as good as new cars (sometimes even better) and go for prices that are nicer to your wallet. That sounds like a win-win to me.
All prices have been gatheres from our friends at Edmunds and Kelley Blue Book. From sedans to electrics, we’ve lined up 13 luxury vehicles that deliver the prestige and performance you’re craving, without the brand-new price tag.
