Since the early 1920s, automobiles have been a symbol of wealth and status. Only the wealthy could afford vehicles when they initially became available to the general population. Automobiles were uncommon back then, and those who drove them were thought to be the wealthiest people in town.
Even though much has changed in the last century with cars, there is still a sense of prosperity and status associated with them. The luxury car market, which is defined as a vehicle that goes above and beyond the fundamentals, is incredible.
Luxury automobiles are often associated with the wealthy and famous, although this is not always the case. If you’ve always wanted to drive a Beamer or a Porsche about town but thought it was beyond your price range,
think again. Purchasing a pre-owned luxury vehicle might be a game-changer.

15.2002 Maserati Spyder
Maserati’s ten-year hiatus from the US market came to an end with the 2002 Spyder. Since its introduction in the United States, the two-seat convertible roadster has maintained its power status, but its price has dropped dramatically.
A used 2002 Maserati Spyder can readily be found for under $20,000.

Maserati, as a well-known Italian brand, added touches of Italian flair to the Spyder, such as exquisite leather and a sleek design. The fully motorized soft top is concealed by a hardcover, contributing to the car’s elegant appearance.
Inside, you’ll find a premium cockpit with top-of-the-line interior leather upholstery in ten different colours.
It’s worth noting that Maserati only produced a few hundred Spyders. If you can find one, they’re a great luxury vehicle at a reasonable price.

14. 2005 Jaguar S – Type R
To us, it’s an undeniable fact that all modern Jaguars look fantastic. The S-Type is a notchback executive saloon that debuted at the 1998 Birmingham Motor Show.

From 1999 until 2008, the vehicle was built. Jaguar’s 1963-68 S-Type nameplate was reintroduced with the S-Type.
The 2005 model automobile had a facelift, and you may get one for a reasonable price starting this year. The Type 4.2 Supercharged V8 in the 2002 S-Type was praised for making it the world’s quickest road production saloon car at the time.
The 2005 model included reworked front and back aprons, a new aluminium hood, and a new 2.7-litre V6 diesel engine.
13. Porsche Boxster
The Boxster, another fun-filled convertible on our list, can be obtained second-hand for roughly £5,000, which is a bargain.
Not only do you get to keep a pair of Porsche keys in your pocket, but you also get to drive a stunning convertible that, as the can industry puts it, “puts the pleasure back in driving.”

What better way to appear wealthy than to purchase a convertible automobile with a gleaming Porsche badge?
To the untrained eye, a Porsche is a Porsche. You may own a 2005-2006 987-generation Porsche Boxster with little miles and be considered a Porsche owner like any other by yourself and many others.
12. Rolls Royce Silver Spirit
It may seem unlikely that you could be practically broke and still possess a Rolls-Royce, but it is possible. From 1980 through 1999, Rolls-Royce produced the Silver Spirit, an attractive full-size luxury vehicle.
At the same time, the Silver Spur, a long-wheelbase variant of the automobile, was introduced, and it was the first to include the retractable Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament.

Between 1980 and 1989, the first generation Silver Spirit, known as the Mark I, was produced. The engine was a 6.75-liter L410 V8 with a THM 300 3-speed automated transmission.
Even today, it’s a car that radiates class, and you can obtain one for a reasonable price. We’ve spotted several ’80s models for under $20,000, including a black ’82 with only 72,000 miles on Car Gurus for $9,900.
11. 2000 BMW M5

The BMW M5 is a sports sedan that is part of BMW’s 5 Series executive automobile line. The first M5 was hand-built in 1985 and included a tuned-up M1 engine, making it the quickest production sedan on the market at the time.
These automobiles are still manufactured today, although with a different design approach.
10. Vaydor G35

On the surface, the Vaydor G35 appears to be too wonderful to be true. The Vaydor G35 is an Infiniti G35 with the Vaydor body package installed.
While the Vaydor kit will have heads turning, the Infiniti G35’s dependability is what makes it such a good buy. A 280-horsepower V6 engine, rear-wheel drive, and an available six-speed close-ratio manual transmission are among the appealing characteristics.
The Vaydor G35 is a one-of-a-kind beauty. The Joker drove a bubblegum pink Vayder G35 in Suicide Squad; thus, it’s a true movie star automobile.
Purchasing the Infiniti G35 and the package separately is unquestionably the most cost-effective option.
9. 2007 Nissan 350Z
The Nissan 350Z (or Nissan Fairlady Z in Japan) is a fast two-seater sports car that was produced as a coupe from 2002 to 2009 and as a roadster from 2004 to 2009. Nissan’s Z-car range is now in its fifth generation.
The VQ35DE V6 engine in the 2007 350Z was replaced with a VQ35HR V6 that produced 306 horsepower with an SAE-certified power benchmark. At 7500 rpm, it reaches its redline.

The Nissan 350Z is a real head-turner, and you can acquire a 2007 model that appears a lot younger than it is. On Car Gurus and similar sites, there are a number of 350Zs for sale.
8. Tesla Model S

It’s hard to believe that the Model S could have ended up on one of our lists, given how tough it was to obtain when it first came out. Nonetheless, here it is.
Used Teslas turn out to be quite affordable. And, even though they are the “future of luxury,” they will depreciate just like every other luxury alternative.
We were able to locate one for roughly $27,000. Roll up in it and tell folks you work with computers, and no one on the planet will doubt you’re a computer genius.
Don’t want to give up your petrol for the time being? We can’t say we blame you. We enjoy doing things the old-fashioned way as well, which is why we can personally advocate purchasing a Chevrolet Corvette.
7. Chevrolet Corvette

We could have included a Dodge Viper or a current Corvette because they’re both reasonably priced for what they are, but we couldn’t leave out this stunning 1960 Corvette.
True, it’s getting more expensive, but it’s still in the realm of “rich looking” without truly being “rich.” The Corvette has been around since 1953, and we’ve seen a lot of different body types and designs in that time.
6. 2014 Jaguar XJL Portfolio

| Photo Digital Trends |
The Jaguar XJ is the name of a long-running, full-size line of luxury sedans made by the British carmaker since 1968. Since 1970 the XJ has been their flagship model, and the original version was the last Jaguar saloon to have had input by Sir William Lyons, Jaguar’s founder. That ’68 has been featured in various high-profile appearances, but we’re talking about a newer model here, an X351, which has only been around since 2009.
The X351 was unveiled in 2009 by Jay Leno and Elle Macpherson at the Saatchi Gallery in London. It’s a longer and wider car than its predecessors, but has smaller headlights and a squarer grille. The 2014 model had a minor facelift (upgraded suspension and rear seating, small cosmetic changes), but it was still powered by a 5.0-liter 385 PS V8 standard. Surprisingly, you can find a used 2014 model for around $30,000 and above.
5. 2017 Kia Cadenza

| Photo Car And Driver |
The Kia Cadenza is a car most might not expect on this list, but it’s here for two simple reasons. The first is that it looks pretty nice when you’re driving one, and the second is that it’s actually pretty cheap to buy. The Kia K7, as it’s called in South Korea, is a full-size executive sedan that was launched in 2010 to replace the Kia Amanti.
Its first generation was from 2010 to 2016, but here we’re featuring the newer second generation, which scored a huge “Top Safety Pick+” from the IIHS.
A standard model comes equipped with a 2.4-liter Theta II GDI I4 engine, but you can also get them with 3.0-liter V6 engines or a 2.2-iter I4 diesel. All the used 2017 Cadenzas we found started at around $31,000 and went up from there.
4. 2011 Cadillac CTS-V

The Cadillac CTS-V is the old American company’s take on a newly refined, high-performance sedan. It’s the upgraded version of the CTS, and has been around since 2004. There are three different body styles available, and they all have a pushrod OHV V8 engine and sport-tuned suspension.
These cars are fast, sleek, and best of all, inexpensive. They’re much more affordable than, say, their competitors, the Audi RS6, BMW M5 (newer models, not the one mentioned above), and Mercedes E63 EMG.
3. 2003 Porsche 911 Cabriolet
Who would have thought it was possible to get a Porsche 911 for under six digits? These high-performance, rear-engined classic sports cars have been available since 1963, and are the epitome of the boxer-engined goodness- besides maybe the Porsche Boxster. These cars are cult favorites for modifying for races, rallies, and other competitions.

The 911 was named fifth in an international Car of the Century poll in 1999. It’s one of the oldest sports coupes still in production today, and one can be yours for the low price of $35,000 or so if you look hard.
The Turbo S Cabriolet was introduced in 2001. It has more power than a traditional Turbo, can reach 0-60 mph in 3.91 seconds, and has a top speed of a whopping 189 mph. You can actually find other 911s from the early 2000s for less than $30,000, but this particular one was around $35,000.
2. 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 MK III
The Austin-Healey 3000 is the type of car you see on display at classic car shows around the world. It’s a British sports car that was around from 1959 to 1967, is exceedingly rare in this day and age, and will make you look like a millionaire.

The 3-liter car won many European rallies in its day, and is still raced in classic car competitions to this day.
The Mark III 3000 convertible was first released in 1964, given a power increase from 136 to 150 bhp, and was the first 3000 to display the speedometer directly in front of the driver. It was the last generation of 3000s to exist. You can typically find them on used classic car sites for around $50,000 to $70,000, but there are also a few that are priced more reasonably, like this one in Santa Ana, California for $38,750.
1. 1931 Pierce-Arrow Eight Club
Pierce-Arrow was an early American car company founded in Buffalo, New York, by George N. Pierce. The company lived from 1901 until 1938, and was best known for their luxury cars, though they also produced fire trucks, camp trailers, motorcycles, and bikes.

The old-fashioned cars produced by Pierce-Arrow were a sensation for their day—the 1933 Silver arrow caused a huge stir at the time of its release as a concept car, because of its futuristic look.
There are only three in existence today, and you won’t find one on this list, of course. But you will find this beautiful Eight Club sedan, which is something you might find at the runways of a classic car show. Though these cars might typically be between $70,000 to $250,000, this beauty from St. Louis, Missouri is priced at just $42,900.
