Even if a supercar’s appearance is stunning in the first few years of it’s existence, there’s no guarantee it will stand the test of time. Supercar designs are similar to fashion trends.
Luxury brands are expanding their vehicle choices to offer more affordable ones so they can appeal to more buyers. Non-luxury brands are expanding their lineup to appeal to the luxury buyer with hopes they can lure them with a better value proposition.
Most of the luxury auto brands selling pre-owned (used) vehicles have some sort of “certified” program. The vehicle sitting on the lot has either already been prepped or “certified” or you can get it “certified” for some incremental cost of the vehicle in question. Since Ferrari is “special” their certified programs entail both points previously mentioned meaning the car is certified and you must pay monies incremental to the sale price of the car. It’s more complicated than keeping up with all the Kardashian love interests but let me try to clarify.
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.
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.
We are seeing better vehicles being made and it is no longer uncommon to see a domestic or import that has been well maintained exceed 100,000 miles on the odometer. The “used” car has evolved for the better.
The 3 Series has enjoyed critical acclaim since it’s birth and rightfully so. It has been one of the best luxury values when new offering a great blend between usable performance and luxury and that value proposition has potential to increase with a pre-owned version.
If you are considering buying a new 2017 Ford Mustang GT Fastback (coupe) it’s iconic; it’s patriotic and offers great value compared to a similar import. You’d get little argument from me but my philosophy is lease new and buy pre-owned so does it really offer that much value if you are buying?
There aren’t many brands in the world that are as recognizable as the Ferrari brand. Most people know what it stands for, exotic Italian performance cars built for both the streets and racetracks. They are arguably the most recognized and sought after exotic car brand in the world and the 360 Modena certainly upholds that part of the equation.
There are a number of pre-owned models ranging from the top of the line S-Class sedan to the smaller C-Class that have now fallen in the affordability zone for your considerations but lets start with the ABCs of the Mercedes sedan offerings as I kid you not when I say ABC.
