Luxury Car Deals
Henry Ford once said back in 1909 that a customer could have the Model T in any color as long as it was black. And perhaps Ford, seeking to streamline automobile manufacturing, was right for the time. Yet, demanding, high-value, luxury car buyers have always thought of their auto purchases as something more than mere transportation.
Premium car buyers have demanded and been rewarded by vehicles with:
- Precision and ultra comfort
- Noise isolation
- Comfortable seats you could practically sleep on
- Stylish and sleek interiors
- High-end safety innovations
Why do people buy luxury cars?
Buying a luxury car can be quite an experience. Yet, many don't even consider spending money on this. So, why do people choose to spend money in luxury cars?- Perceived Value: Luxury car buyers don't mind paying a premium price if they feel that the price increase reflects real value. Manufacturers need to position themselves and their brand in such a way that a higher value is appreciated.
- Status and Self-Esteem: Only around 6 percent of the market see themselves as luxury car buyers, yet it's still a relatively lucrative market none the less. There is a certain status luxury cars provide that standard models don't, and this feeling is what many luxury car buyers want to experience.
- Passion for luxury rides: Going from zero to 140 mph in no time provides an incredible rush, one many crave and are prepared to spend money to get.
- Customer Experience: Buyers of luxury vehicles pay significant attention to the dealer experience. The showroom should be glistening, and clean, the sales experience should be particularly friendly and the repair shop should look more like a scientist's laboratory than a grease pit. Remember, perceived value extends to the overall customer experience.
- Quality: Fine details such as inlaid wood in the interiors, ultra-padded leather seats, high-end sound system and cutting edge safety and security features are some of the car's most attractive assets.
- Exclusivity: Luxury cars can be extremely difficult to acquire. They can take up to two years to build and if it's custom-made, it can take even longer. There's only a handful of them in the world, and many enjoy the thought of being part of that select group.
