Great Deals Abound

• Diesels in a word! These are not the stinky and slow diesels of the past but clean burning and amazingly lusty to drive. There are great opportunities right now to buy a Mercedes or BMW diesel and we scored a number of these recently at prices comparable to the gas engine versions.
• 2010-2011 BMW 3 series are cheap right now – we are seeing 2010 328xi sedans with 20k miles trade for about $18k at auction – that is a lot of car for not a lot of money.
• 2011-12 Acura MDXs and Lexus RX350s are plentiful and excellent values
• 2011-12 Toyota Camrys, Hyundai Sonatas and Nissan Altimas are plentiful and the prices have eased – 1374 of the 2011 Camry LEs were sold last week at the Manheim auctions.
• 2011 Infiniti G37xs and M37xs are priced right
• How about nicely equipped low mileage 2011 Mercedes C300 4matics trading for about $21 k? These prices have been pushed down by the introduction of the very popular CLS.

What’s Overpriced?

• Subarus – everyone of them are overvalued due to the shortage of new vehicles – in many cases you can get an Audi for the price of a Subaru.
• Full size trucks are still bringing crazy money
• Jeep Wranglers,Toyota FJ Cruisers and Honda CR-vs hold on to value big time
• Honda Accords and Civics when you compare them to Corollas, Sonatas, Altimas and Camrys
• Audi Q5s are popular and bring strong money but they are becoming more approachable especially the 2012-13s when compared to new.

Can’t wait till Spring?

Try this amazing 2004 Porsche 911 C4S cabriolet that we bought for a client 9 years ago when it only had twelve hundred miles now it has been driven an additional and very careful 58k miles by our client who is a heart surgeon and never leaves anything to chance. He always serviced at the Porsche dealer and has updated everything within the last 8k miles. He asked us to find him a 2013 replace this beauty. Priced at about one third of its original MSRP.
