10 Cheap luxurious sedans #blogpost
Before I start I want to say a couple things:
Before I start I want to say a couple things:
- Sorry to Ian Wright for the title (if he reads this)
- Cars here are under 2k euros
- I mention cars that you can buy in Europe and some in America, sorry to all Americans reading (probably none)
- I will be working my way from the best one to the “worst” one
BMW 7-series
Not only can you get this beast in a V12 version, but also a V8.
This goes around for 2000 minimum, but you get what you pay for. I mean just look at this big boat, bulletproof…
Not only its styling is stunning but also the power: you get 188bhp with the cheapest model and 300bhp for the most expensive V12 model, but let’s get serious the only way you can get a V12 BMW 750iL is by going to Germany and praying to God that the owner is a petrolhead.
I dont know what else to say, I’m not really a BMW fan, as you all know i kind hate them…
Mercedes-Benz S-Class W140
Buying this car back in the 90’s was like buying a yacht. I mean look at this thing, it looks like a boat. Again like the BMW, this thing goes for 2k euros minimum, if you find it under 2k it was probably in a bank robbery and the mafia is trying to get rid of the car. Probably the only Merc i actually like… But anyways this also has a V12 version, not sure if it had a V8 version as well, but anyways the cheapest model had 177bhp and ofc the most expensive one and probably the one you will see being driven by celebrities sometimes has 394 bhp. It was designed not to age, the design that will never get old. Thats why i like these older S-classes.
Audi A8
I always thought that the A8 is a Audi 80, they do look very similar (in fact the A8 looks like a stretched 80). There is one near me and i hear it every morning roaring when it leaves its driveway. This thing has no chill.
Models for rich people had V8 engines, but all other had V6 engines. In countries like Germany and Austria they are cheap as i can see, but on Balkan its a whole different story… Models go from 2k to 10k and most of them are 2.5… I really dont understand the logic… Germany is not far away, i can import one. No wonder this country is falling apart every second…
Anyways as i said it had V8 engines some making 224, 230, 260 and 300bhp… and V6 models 150, 174, 180 and 193bhp…
There is one little problem…
Its FWD.
BMW 5-series
Really not much to say about this thing… Its like others on the list but cheaper. Like a 7-series but cheaper if i can say that. Anyways V8 engine in the M5 and it has a Touring version too, i whould honestly go for the touring one because its better looking and its a vagon… Get yourself a 5-series and you can expect a car with 100-/+ bhp. Only if you are like Alex and buy a lemon because you work at CT and you have to have a BMW…
Anyways, the cheapest one will hopefully have 113bhp and the most powerful and probobly the most expensive one will have 218bhp… and the M5 model 340bhp…
Audi A6
My uncle has one of these… You can award this car as “Best first car for a guy that wants to get a expensive new Audi but he cant, also he likes golddiggers”. Audi is like a cheap BMW but a more expensive Opel (yes, i just said that). What you get for a pricetag of 2k euros is a FWD sedan that is a demo version of the A8, altough the A8 is based on the 80 and the A6 on the 100 (which was bigger and better at the time), somehow Audi thought its was a good idea to buff the 80 and make the 100 look like crap.
(Im not sure if any of that is correct what i said there)
For those hard earned 2k euros you get a 90bhp car and if you are lucky you can get a 115bhp model… If you have a bit extra money, get yourself a Quattro A6, so that you have a luxurious car that is not EWD (Embarrassing wheel drive).
Opel Senator B
Now that all those people who like German expensive cars left, we can now talk about real luxurious cars. Opel Senator is a bargain of the century… How? Not is this thing like 1000 times better than a Opel Omega but its full of LCD monitors and even had a CD model… Let me show you what im talking about:
How is this not cool? Look at this thing, if i deleted the Opel badge you whould think its a American car that whould cost you too much… Finding this car is a bit harder (at least in the Balkan) but as i can see in Germany and Austria these things are a bit easier to find. Sold under the name Vauxhall Royale in UK and Vauxhall Royale Coupe (Opel Monza) these things are probobly the hardest to find, but once you find one you will not regret the decision you bought one. Why? 0 RUST. No, really no rust whatsoever…
Well all models are going to cost around the same price but the cheapest one is 90bhp and the one you will pay a little bit more is going to be 204bhp V6 model with Dual Ram (not sure what that even is :D)
Honda/Acura Legend
Accord too familiy-ish for you? Then get a Legend… After you payed 2k euros for your upgraded Accord (yet still the drivetrain is still the same) you get a 90’s car that looks like it was made in early 2000’s… You basicly got yourself a Lexus… No, im dead serious, if you put Lexus badges on this thing i whould legit think its a Lexus… I think Honda made this to compete with the Lexus LS 2000. They even look the same from the back.
Every Legend is equipped with a 3.5 V6 engine that has 205bhp. No other engines, just this one…
Mazda Xedos 6
Since i know nothing about this car, and im also kinda lazy to do any kind of research here is a blog that a fellow CTzen made about it
Opel Omega
It whouldnt be a LittleFun blog without a Opel Omega in it. I talk waaayy too much about this car and how its great. Its like a demo verison of the Opel Senator. This is RWD unlike those Audis and automaticly makes it 1000 better than any car on this list. This is the only car on this list that i didnt need to do research on because i know so much about. The absolute cheapest Omega (1k euro) will have 101bhp, BUT the ones with V6 can go from 2k to 5k euros so if you have a bit more money to spend get yourself on of these, they dont rust like other Opels and you basicly got a 5-series for like 10 times cheaper…
Renault Safrane
95% probobly forgot about this but let me show you what it is: its a big boat that is a sleeper and its FWD sadly… If you follow me long enough you will know that i absolutley love the Safrane along with the Renault Laguna, that was untail i found out that Opel Omega and Opel Senator were RWD… Anyways the Safrane 3.0 V6 is rare but somehow common on classifields… There are total of 8 left in UK and idk about other countries. Every safrane will cost you about 2k euros except the Bi-Turbo model that will cost you around 10k euros, but great power.
And thats all, get yourself one of these cars before its too late and they go expensive and collectable. I suggest the S-class for keeping because these things are going to be expensive and Opel Senator because its the most luxurious car on this list, just buy it.
Anyways, thats all for today
Bye
Comments
It’s actually the worst article I have read here. It forces the writers personal points of views so strongly on the readers. AND the info in it is a mixture of bullshit and lies. Sorry, but while reading this, I constantly thought “wtf” on the info given.
The thing about FWD being “EWD” made me lose all my intention to continue reading…
But..
Where is the 330ci?
The car is not classified as a luxury car
So you got 2 crappy opels and a Renault, but no Rover 800 or 600
Both unther the 2k mark. The 800 even more beautiful as a coupe, has a 200bhp 2.0turbo engine. A 2.5v6 and a 2.7 v6. Standard recaro seats (fully electric) and a safe in the back.
The 600 has the same 2.0turbo and a 2.3 5inline from Honda.
I searched for cars on the wikis “luxurious cars” list. I was about to make s second part, but i got to much hate
Of course the Senator B has dual ram! Look at all those computer screens, you need all the ram you can get
How is any Lexus not in here? Especially the Gs300 or Ls400???
They’re expensive. And rare.
The Senator B was sold as a Vauxhall Senator in the uk.
Title should be changed to “the only big cheap cars I’ve heard of”
where is the E500 W124 Mercedes? Shame!
its not classified as a luxurious sedan
Just to make a point on the author’s ignorance: there is an E34 in the picture but we read about a V8 M5, which is of course the E39. And then an estate M5 is mentioned, which is obviously the V10 E61. I’m sure you can’t pick that one up for 2k.
891 M5 Tourings were built. No M5 is a 2k car however.
I only mentioned it, like other cars on the list, i talk about the most powerful and the less powerful versions
I get what you’re trying to say here and i strongly agree that Opels are seriously underrated to some extend. And good picks honestly.
That being said, some tweaks here and there would make your article more enjoyable to read. Like getting your head head out from you ass and doing at least basic research. As you repeatedly hinted you are somewhere from the Balcans, so you shouldn’t even know the “rust” issues we face up north with some of these cars. But model hierarchy should be in place.
Lack of research and demonizing FWD is what got to me. True, FWD layout on these cars depicted here is a crime but for example in my region FWD A8 have pretty much died off and you actually have to make extra effort to find one. Maybe wrongly assumed that this was the case elsewhere too…
But i like the list and the fact that you included cars that you supposedly hate. Kudos for that. You have a bright future in this.
Thank you :)
