10 CHEAP Luxury Cars That Look Expensive! (Under £5,000)

My Alfa is the lux winter pack spec with heated rear screen, keeps my hands toasty when pushing it to the workshop.

[@jostouw4366]

Fixed the battery probs then?

[@pedclarkemobile]

@@jostouw4366 yeah, with all the push start attempts the battery gets a little boost... plus with the special italian wiring if you plug a few iphones into the charge socket the car steals just enough voltage to fire up the rear screen hand warmer. Im gonna upgrade to the FIAMM battery. The techs at Ferrari Maserati service centre joke that the acronym stands for: “Flat in a matter of minutes”.

I got a 4 seater one and it's been a joy driving it last 2 years. When I'l have to change it, probably I will not afford a car that feels like a step up. For me is so funny that I bought it cheaper then a A8. The difference is big, from the insulation to the material quality inside.

Everyone raves about the 450h so I’d go that way!

[@an-dr6eu]

GS300. That one is reliable. The hybrid is not, no matter what internet "experts" tell you. A battery change will murder your wallet on the 450h. Additionally, the 300 is lighter, nicer to drive, and you dont have to deal with the engine noise randomly popping up any now and then. Steer clear of the 450h. That only made sense new.

[@royliber3824]

Before I started watching the video I knew you would include the 300C... That thing is fairly cheap in almost every country in terms of price but definitely not cheap in terms of service cost. That car is pretty much the pinnacle choice of cheap luxury sedans at this time lol Also speaking of poor man's Bentley...

Having sampled most luxury cars including the 7 series BMW of the last ten years , despite service history and condition, they all go wrong electricaly and with technology moving so fast, their is no user freindly parts in any cars built today and older cars means nobody carries the equipment to diagnose older models . So my solution was to go to Japan and import ultra low mileage Jaguar xj6 and 12 series 3 (the proper Jag) That way I get the worlds best car ever in virtualy as new condition with just over delivery mileage . You cant go wrong ! No digital electrical gremlins , only analogue cheap to fix and reliable . Imagine a series 3 V12 Daimler sovereign with just 15k on the clock everything as new ! Now thats luxury .

you forgot the a8 is the only one in a good grade of aluminium that never corrodes. also the early d3 dont have timing chain but a more easily services timing belt and port injection . Mines at 340 000 miles (546 000km). Swapping the air suspension to coil-over ruins the car. Much simpler to fix.
