As you understand from the title of the video, today we will talk about VIP cars. We will tell you about the best options for premium cars that are definitely worth ordering from the USA.
VIP cars and budgets for them are different for everyone. For some, a Premium car can be considered a car that costs 15,000, and for others it can cost as much as 40,000. Today we will consider cars no older than 2017 and with a budget of $25,000 or more.
Let’s start with a car that we talked about quite recently and shot two detailed video reviews of two different cars with completely different trim levels and different budgets.
Fifth place Jaguar F-Pace
Probably the best representative in its budget due to the large selection of equipment and range of engines. The engine can be from a calm and quiet 2.0 petrol, to a sharp, compressor 3.0 V6 with a power of 300 horsepower. And for those who like to save money, there is a two-liter diesel engine.
For example, consider the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace in the Prestige configuration with a 3-meter engine. The car has rear side damage, everything is easily restored, even though it is made entirely of aluminum. By the way, the cost of spare parts for such cars is relatively low, if, for example, you compare them with the same Germans. This option can be bought at auctions for a budget of $16,000-18,000, and turnkey they will cost $28,000-30,000. We have already verified this from our own experience, since in the last year alone we have purchased more than 10 such cars and know absolutely everything about them.
Fourth place Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Mercedes-Benze E-Class in the back of W213 2017. A car that is not in very high demand. But in vain, because if you order such a car from the USA. The E-CLASS is sold in the states in several versions: sedan or coupe. It is very rare to come across station wagons; it is easier to say that they are not there at all. Engines are 2.0 or 3.0 liter petrol, there are also 4-meter versions, but this is already the E 63 AMG version and there is a completely different price. The drive is both rear-wheel drive and proprietary 4MATIC. For purchase, we would recommend a car with all-wheel drive for greater confidence on the road.
For example, consider the 2017 E-Class in white with all-wheel drive. The car has rear side damage. Everything is also restored without problems. Such a copy can be bought at auction for up to 22,000 and turnkey it will cost about $35,000.
Third place BMW X5
The 2019 G05 is one of the most popular models in the BMW X5 line. And if the car is popular in the USA, then there is plenty to choose from. On the American continent, only gasoline engines are available: 2.0, 3.0 or the classic 4.4.
We recommend that you consider the model with the X5 40i index for purchase. This is a car with a 3-liter engine.
By the way, rear-wheel drive crossovers are very popular in the USA, and if you go to an auction yourself and look for a BMW X5 car, you will come across a lot of options with the designation BMW X5 SDrive. Know that these are rear-wheel drive cars and such a purchase does not make any sense, even if it is very cheap.
For example, let’s look at the X5 in a very cool blue color, on a cool brown interior. The car has rear damage, everything is also restored without any problems. Buying such a copy at auction costs around $38,000, and turnkey it will cost up to $50,000.
Second place Acura MDX
This is a car that is simply unrealistic in terms of price/quality ratio. The upscale MDX has gained popularity in the United States. It’s easy to see why it’s one of the top-rated SUVs. It’s a well-designed, functional and competitive vehicle that does most things well. Engines: petrol 3.5 V6 with 294 horsepower or hybrid 3.0 with 325 horsepower.
The Acura MDX is a versatile car that will appeal to absolutely everyone. For example, consider the 2020 Acura MDX, which is up for auction right now. The car has all-wheel drive with minimal mileage, one can say that it is practically new. The car received side damage and the driver’s door needs to be replaced. And also a threshold leaflet is absolutely required there, since the safety has been triggered. It’s all being restored, no big deal. Such a copy is worth buying at auction for a budget of $23,000 – $24,000, and its final turnkey cost is $37,000 – $38,000.
First place Lincoln Navigator
If you’re looking for a large SUV that can accommodate a large family while satisfying your every need, then Lincoln has you covered. A powerful V6 engine, the latest technology and a comfortable, expressive interior make it one of the most refined SUVs ever made.
Some may be intimidated by the dimensions and styling of the Lincoln; such a huge radiator grille is rare to see. An alternative to an SUV can be: Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX 570, Infiniti QX80. In general, I only want to talk about such a car while sitting in it, and we will definitely make a separate video review of it.
Let’s look at a specific example. The 2018 Lincoln Navigator is presented at auction in black. Has front damage and requires restoration or replacement of the front bumper. Even if you can find such a headlight in stock, it will be very expensive. At auction, such a car needs to be purchased within the range of $42,000, and turnkey it will cost $69,000 – $70,000.
These cars come in a wide range of budgets, but these are the ones we recommend considering for purchase.
