Cheapest Luxury Cars: Price of BMW, Audi and Mercedes

Friday, January 27th, 2012 at 1:10 am

You know you can buy an Audi for less than 16,000 euros?, What about a BMW for about 24,500? What do you think a Mercedes for less than 20,000? called premium brands offer a few exceptions, a wide range of possibilities, but do not fit. Which the cheapest luxury cars?

Cheapest luxury cars, what you imagine? Buy a BMW, a Mercedes or an Audi is cheaper than it may seem at first. From about 16,000 euros will find a model. (Of course, then the next is about 2,000 euros more expensive). Car brands need an attractive base price and the premium is no exception for that offer, mostly priced models more or less “reasonable”. Now, a trick. Typically, the engine is either fair or we have to incorporate additional equipment, some are “peeled” of equipment, valued at between 1,500 and 3,000 euros at least.

Like I said, are basic prices, prices “from” recommended by the manufacturer, dealers are not always respected. Notice that there are premium brands whose base model is a different segment than the other, without going any further, Audi and BMW, not to mention the Infiniti or Jaguar. We start with the cheapest luxury cars model, the base price regardless of the segment.

Another detail that we take into consideration when buying a brand of this type is that labor for maintenance and possible repairs will be the same as that of the higher end models. It is the price we pay for having a car of this brand.
