After years of saving, I am finally in a position to buy a pre owned luxury SUV. I am excited about the idea of getting a premium car for a fraction of the new price, but honestly, I am also pretty terrified of ending up with a vehicle that has expensive hidden problems. I have been spending hours reading about avoiding costly mistakes when buying upscale cars to try and protect myself. I found a guide that really opened my eyes to all the things that can go wrong, from accident damage and flood exposure to failing high tech features that cost a fortune to repair. It stressed the importance of a full service history and a professional inspection. For those of you who have bought a used luxury car here, what was your experience? Is there one thing you did that saved you from a potential disaster?
