The Chevrolet brand is not one typically associated with luxury but the automobile landscape has never been more convoluted as premium luxury brands introduce entry level sub $30,000.00 models, and brands of the everyday people introduce $100,000.00 plus models.  Consider the high performing Corvette representative of the latter statement as their top of the line C7 Corvette Z06 nicely equipped will cost you over $100,000.00 for the right to say you are the owner.

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.
