Used luxury cars: Help me make a BAD decision

Ask the Hackrs Used Cars

I have a 2003 Infiniti I35 with just over 83,000 miles. It is a fine daily. I also have a Honda Cbr 650r that is going to be traded in for a Ducati 950s.

I really want a weekend car for trips to Atlantic City or even just a night out. I have several dream cars that are in my budget but all have the SAME issue, reliability.

Which of the following would you guys recommend:

A: 2016+ Maserati Gran Turisomo

B: 2021+ Jaguar Ftype V8

C: 2019+ Alfa Romeo Guilia Quadrigfolio

D: 2020+ MB AMG GTS/GTC

E: 2014+ Aston Martin Vanquish

I know these are all varying levels of the same bad idea, just checking to see in anyone has any insight/ownership experience with them

Rent those on Turo and see if you truly like any one of them, especially used.

Very true and maybe the Alfa too!

Actually why not just get a used 911. Expensive to maintain but at least some what reliable and good value retention.

How much of a discount are you getting on parts and labor? :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Is the AMG GT really unreliable? I know it’s not a Toyota but I wouldn’t have expected it to be on the same level as a Jag or Maserati.

You really need to throw a BMW or Audi in the mix, if you’re going to make a bad decision, you need to include more over engineered german machines

Just do this whenever you have the itch and avoid owning any of these money pits

After the first couple trips to AC you might end up wincing at the thought of a busted rim on the parkway or all those miles racked up on an exotic.

For nights out just lease an RS Etron or AMG EQ*
