Top 12 Prestige Executive Bargains

Cost when new: £69,000

We found: Land Rover Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 Vogue 2010 with 50,000 miles for just £18,495.

The Range Rover has always been a classy and prestigious motor for executives to scoot around in, whether they’re driving or being driven. The new shape has been out for a few years now and is top of the shopping list for business owners and footballers alike. This new model has therefore caused the values of older shape examples to plummet. We found a TDV8 Vogue on our site for just £18,495.

Running costs and maintenance can be steep with these though so we’d always recommend trying to find one with a comprehensive service history and not too many miles on the clock!

Cost when new: £59,995 
We found: Jaguar XJ (13) 3.0TD V6 luxury 4dr auto with 51,000 miles for just £15,841.

The stunning Jaguar XJ executive saloon has played a key role in winning new fans for the iconic British luxury brand as it enjoys a celebrated renaissance. This is a limo for keen drivers and one that comes packed with loads of standard kit. Best of all, keep a keen eye out for a used approved XJ and Jaguar’s winning formula can be yours for almost half the price of a brand new car.

Cost when new: £61,300 
We found: BMW 7 Series (12) 730D M Sport auto with 56,642 miles for just £16,490.

The BMW 7-Series is a drivers’ car which many executive drivers prefer to be a passenger in. Boasting senior levels of luxury, technology and performance, you’ll pay around £63k on the road now for the new model. We found one with only 56,642 miles for roughly a quarter of that.

Cost when new: £54,880 
We found:Audi A8 (2013) 3.0 TDi quattro Sport Executive with 38,211 miles at just £17,700.

Audi describe the A8 as the very essence of Vorsprung durch Technik, and you can get your hands on one for a fraction of the on-the-road price. Most of the A8s you'll see will be driven by a chauffeur. At this price, you’d be more than happy to drive it yourself.

Cost when new: £ 46,000
We found: Mercedes-Benz CLS  (2013) 13 plate 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY auto with 51,776  miles at just £13,757

The CLS is a sleek, coupe-styled 4-seater that was built for sporty looks and comfortable wafting. The CLS demands to be taken seriously and has bags of road presence. The full leather interior, alloy wheels, and voice control give this car an awful lot of luxury for your money! If you’re looking at the 5-year-old models on the used car market you can land a well presented model for a fraction of its original price. 

Cost when new: £60,020 

We found: Mercedes-Benz S Class (2013) 3.0 S350 CDI BlueTEC with only 23,300 miles for just £27,990

The Mercedes S-Class is the classic executive saloon – a car which you either buy to drive for yourself, or to keep your chauffeur happy. Buy used and you’ll be smiling too.

Cost when new: £31,410 
We found: Infiniti Q50 (2015) 65 plate 2.2D Premium 4dr Auto with 49,048 miles for only £12,480.

The Q50 is the car that has helped to put Infiniti neck and neck alongside BMW and Mercedes in the executive saloon market. Great to drive, featuring the world’s first steer-by-wire system, and packed with technology, it’s also a car that will enable you to stand out from the crowd.

Cost when new: £74,265
We found: Maserati Quattroporte (2015) 65 plate 3.0D V6 Auto for only £32,950 with very low mileage of 17,000 miles on the clock.

With its Italian good looks and sportscar credentials, the Maserati Quattroporte – or four-door – is a real head turner. Finding one that's only 3 years old and at less than half the price of a brand new model is just as eye-catching.

Cost when new: £37,965
We found: Jaguar XF (2014) 2.2D Luxury 4dr auto with only 35,465 miles for just £14,400.

With stylish good looks and amazing handling, the Jaguar XF represents the complete executive motoring package. It is equally at home on scenic country lanes and long motorway journeys and comes with a great list of standard features. Hard to believe that it’s now possible to buy such a great car for so little money.

Cost when new: Around £67,000
We found: Porsche Panamera (2013) 3.0 TD V6 Platinum Edition with 31,412 miles for just £31,000.

Only a few years ago, the idea of a four door Porsche was almost unthinkable. The Panamera saloon is now a reality but you might still find it hard to believe how much you can save by buying a used model.

Cost when new: £36,275
We found: BMW 5 Series (2013) 13 plate 520d Efficientdynamics with full Leather with only 29,521 miles for just £12,690.

The BMW 5 series is a tried and tested option for prestige buyers who want a large, executive vehicle which compliments the driver, has a classy and modest aesthetic all while providing impeccable reliability. Very much a safe purchase.

The new 5 Series model is now available for a 24 hour test drive. 

Cost when new: £48,795

We found: Range Rover Sport 3.0 SDV6 HSE 5dr Auto (12) £20,650.

Ok, £20,650 isn’t exactly pennies on the used car market, but this SDV6 is seriously good value for money. This 2012 super SUV has black leather seats, 19 inch alloys and much more, a very nice car to drive and be seen out and about in.
