Best Luxury car for resale

[mambolambo]

I have had a Panamera turbo for sale, very, very well priced for the last 6 or so months. I think I have finally sold but what a pain. I guess the things that put people off are:

1) stumping up a fair wad of cash for a 2010 car
2) well, cannot think of anything else.

My next car I would hopefully like to sell quicker. I am thinking of a luxury saloon as I have 3 kids. Any pointers?

Just to clarify, I sold through a luxury car dealer.

i usually keep for 2 years, do not put many miles on. I work at home in my underpants on the internet.

XJ Jaguar
7 Series BMW
S Class

would be on my list for that budget.

I had a 750LI previously. That was a real ball ache to sell as well. It seems only a few people like myself like 5-liter petrol engines

Yes I am thinking of a petrol S class, Audi s8 but I suspect they are also a pain to sell later?

What about something like this that has already depreciated

a bit old for me and my budget. I guess I would consider the same car but min 2013.

Surely this is perfect criteria for a lease? Just fund the depreciation and let someone else worry about moving it on.

JZZ30 I have always bought things cash. The leasing guy needs to make a profit too right? So in my mind, this is going to end up being more expensive.

That's the crux of it. It's a small market for big petrol engines cars that aren't M/RS models.
I had a 650i that I couldn't give away at one point!

Good to see a real man finally . Yeah m5 maybe a good idea come to think of it but I need AWD. My brother has an ML6.3 AMG but he has not tried to sell it yet.

You think the M5 will be easier to shift when I am bored with it? I heard AMG which are special like the M also depreciate like the pound after brexit.

On my second and it just does not get any better short of something like a Bentley. Mercedes S Class is close but the engine options are a bit crap with either a guzzling petrol or a diesel that can't pull the skin off a rice pudding. I picked up a 3 month old one with 2000 miles for less than 45k. They sell well too as there is not much to compete with them.

Thanks Fatjon, a good option. By your name, we sound like we have a similar frame type as well. I have always like this type of exec limo.

When buying a car, I can't ever remember thinking about the ease of re-sale / disposal. I simply slip on my buying goggles and Bob's your Uncle.

I'm obviously doing something wrong !

Yes, I always go for the 5 liter petrol and my last 2 cars have been a fecking pain to sell on. I still want something good but after 6 months on the online sales shelf, you start to hate the sight of it.
