Now that you've decided you have the financial wherewithal to pursue a weekend fun toy, now what do you do? Well for starters you are in the right place.
The Corvette also known as the Vet is manufactured by Chevrolet but don't let that fool you. The latest version of the "Vet" also known to the car geeks as the C7 has an MSRP that clearly says luxury.

While there is certainly much truth to the brand’s perception of high end luxury the reality of what Mercedes is in 2016 is probably somewhere south of that and that’s not a bad thing for most of us. They are a luxury auto brand with cars that can easily exceed six figures so to many they are just plain out of reach or are they?
Ferrari is an auto manufacturer that essentially does one thing. They produce some of the sexiest supercars on the planet, period. These cars are raced around the globe and their reputation for winning has given them “street cred” as an authentic racing brand, which has helped build the demand for their road going cars for more than fifty years. Their cars transcend language with men and boys singing their praise universally across the globe.
Let’s do the math. A slightly used car defined as a two year old with an average depreciation rate of 15% per year leaves an entry level Bentley still priced at no less than $172,000.00 and that is clearly not “affordable” unless we are talking “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” so how is a Bentley affordable you ask?
In the last fifteen years luxury vehicles have been scattered across almost every type of vehicle ranging from the sedan to the sports car and SUV. There's still one vehicle type that on face value seems to be light on luxury and that's the pick up truck. I am here to tell you don't be fooled by the apparent lack of luxury.
It’s a crazy and confusing time to be in the market for a new vehicle BUT it’s also a great time because lines have been blurred across domestics and imports, luxury and non-luxury. The one constant that remains despite the record level sales is cars are a necessity even in places like New York City and most Americans dream of luxury ownership.
