The term ‘used car’ gives the impression of affordability, doesn’t it? It says that the vehicle isn’t new any longer so its value will be reduced – at least, that’s what it means for MOST used car listings.
There is that minute segment of used car listings that aren’t for the faint of heart. They’re geared towards the elite, the ultra-rich, and the game-makers-not-players. They’re the extremely rare, extremely valuable, and typically extremely exotic cars that most of us would count ourselves lucky to take a selfie in front of, never mind consider owning.
The luxury and exotic used car listings aren’t exclusive. Anyone can find them, but honestly, who’s going to search through used car listings to find a vehicle they can’t have? Not to mention, if there’s a particular model you want, you may have to ship it in from clear across the globe so listings won’t show up in your local paper.
