Luxury Cars and Resale Values
When it comes to ultra-luxury، high-end vehicle leasing، there is no doubt
that the best deals are those cars that hold their value. With this in
mind، we single out a few truths about residual values that consistently
apply to high-end leasing.
The most determining factor when it comes to resale values is public
perception of the brand، not its reliability ratings in quality surveys.
Take the Jaguar for example: it is consistently rated as a quality car، but
because of questionable reliability perception among the public، it takes a
sharp dip in value at the end of its lease-term
Higher-tech options and other cutting-edge features do not necessarily mean
the car will fare better. By the time your car is two years old، better
and cheaper systems will render the laser-guided cruise control، navigation
systems and built-in cell phone obsolete. Look for functional features،
such as automatic transmissions، power windows and wheel-drive to enhance
the vehicle’s value in the used-car market.
Used-car buyers view less favorably luxury vehicles that come with big
incentives. These are perceived as questionable in quality and
reliability.
