Who of us hasn't dreamed of speeding along the highway behind the wheel of a luxury car; sitting there with a wide smile while looking at the other less luxurious ordinary cars and smileless drivers? Being the owner of a luxury car is not for anybody, we all know that and while there's nothing wrong with dreaming, we don't have time to dream all day so let's go back to realty and the old, ordinary car. But wait...! There is another option that most people can afford and that you should consider as well; you can make your dream come true by purchasing a used luxury car or - to put it another way - pre-owned. And as if this wasn't enough, there is still another reachable option; you can lease it. Let's take a look at both alternatives, one at a time

Purchase a Used Luxury Car

A used luxury car has become an outdated phrase now as most manufacturers and dealerships prefer to use 'pre-driven' or 'pre-owned' when marketing their used automobiles. The term used conjures up the picture of a sleazy old car that has been passed on to you with many defects.

Car purchasing and selling has changed; consumers and dealers have become smarter. Hence one of the most important things to remember when contemplating to buy a used luxury car is to ensure that it is certified. A certified used luxury vehicle is one that has passed an inspection on various points and has been repaired if necessary to meet certain industry standards. It is not a dud automobile that only looks good on the outside -it runs well too.

The advantages of a certified pre-owned luxury car can be summarized as:

* You can enjoy the look of a Mercedes owner without having to pay sticker price.

* you'll feel more safe knowing that because it is certified, you will not be running in to any big trouble soon.

* Automobiles in general and luxury cars in particular, decrease the most in value in the first two years. If you purchase a 2 or 3 years old car, you can crop substantial savings

The Leasing Option

It is wiser to lease a used luxury automobile because one, if you are a business owner, you can write it off come tax time, and two, if you buy it and it starts having expensive repairs, you are stuck with car. In a lease situation, you always have the option of just returning the car at the end of the period and do not have to worry about getting rid of a car that is expensive to maintain.

A Warranty Is Good To Have

You should aim to find a used luxury car that has some of the factory warranty remaining. Another option is to get a warranty from the dealer. It is convenient to have such a safety net, in case something unexpected should occur, such as high car repair expenses and similar. Let's say you purchase a 2005 BMW in 2007. Having a 5 years warranty will get you big savings from the retail price or MSRP (manufacturer suggested retail price) and in addition you will still have three years of warranty left. Something to think about.
