13 Irresistible Luxury Cars That Tempt Even the Most Thrifty Shoppers

Luxury cars are supposed to alienate those who can’t or are unwilling to pay big money for them. At least, that’s how we’ve always perceived “luxury.” At the same time, some folks are ‘cheap’ regardless of their financial status. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a car that serves the same primary purpose as a $30,000 model doesn’t make sense to such people. Financial expert Dave Ramsey recently published a list of the top ten cars driven by millionaires, and there was not a Ferrari or Rolls-Royce among them. Ramsey might have a point. A 2022 survey by Experian Automotive found that 61% of rich people (with household incomes over $250,000) go for regular brands like Toyota, Ford, and Honda. It makes you wonder who buys the expensive cars, then. Those who can’t resist them, maybe? It shows enthusiasts, rich and poor — fuel the market for expensive, niche cars. It’s more about attraction than money. Here are 13 luxury cars that are so compelling that even cheap people can’t stay away.
