We all have a dream car that we would love to own. The problem is the price. Dream cars, as the name suggests, are expensive. Most of us don’t have the cash to afford a Bugatti because two million dollars is pretty steep even for people with money. Thankfully, we don’t have to worry about the price anymore. Okay, maybe we still have to consider the price, but it doesn’t have to be as big a factor. Why? It doesn’t have to be a factor because there are plenty of high-quality, luxurious cars that are affordable. Just take a look at the following.
Audi A3
As far as car manufacturers go, Audi is up there as one of the best on the market. For starters, it is a German car manufacturer. And, German manufacturers tend to make quality cars. Just ask BMW and Mercedes. The A3 is without a doubt one of the best cars that Audi has made in the past decade. From the outside, the car looks as sleek and as stunning as usual. But, there are improvements on the inside with the 1.8-liter engine and 170 horses. And, it is available at just under $31,000. Luxury doesn’t come much cheaper.
BMW X1
Where there’s an Audi, there’s also a BMW. The two are linked together like conjoined twins at birth such is their fierce rivalry. So, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that BMW has an answer to the A3. Most readers will think of the conventional sleek BMWs, but this model is a crossover. And, for crossovers, it is cheap. The starting price is under $32,000, which is a touch higher than the A3. But, a crossover may be a better choice than a family car. The clearance and the four-wheel drive feature are just two reasons you might prefer to go with BMW this time.
Mercedes-Benz CLA
You can’t have a conversation about luxury cars without mentioning an AMG Mercedes make or model. Although Audi and BMW are good, Mercedes is one German manufacturer that ranks above all its competitors. For that reason, they are expensive. Still, the CLA is cheap compared to some of the others on the market. This car is available at under $30,000, which makes it the cheapest of the three German giants. It might be just under $30,000, but it still counts. There aren’t too many quality cars on the market for this price.
Buick Verano
It is time for a change of pace and something less European. And, the Verano isn’t European. With its huge chassis and powerful body, there is a lot of bang for your buck. Like all American cars, the onus is on power. After all, the American highways are not like the snaking roads of Europe. But, the power isn’t lost even if you don’t have the space to open her up. The Verano is also different in price as it is by far the cheapest option at $24,500. As far luxury goes, it is hard to find anything as good for as cheap.
