Participant2009 New Car Sales Will Be Very Bad
Because shrewd shoppers like us are taking advantage of the current economic downturn and buying barely used certified luxury nameplates flooding the market with low mileage and excellent condition for less than their brand new common brand’s brethren.
Lexus RX / Toyota Highlander
Acura TL / Honda Accord
Infiniti G35 / Nissan AltimaIf you’re in the market for a brand new Toyota, Honda or Nissan, don’t bother! You can now buy the certified luxury version for less…possibly a lot less.

Find 2009 Toyota RAV4 and click on the most expensive version. Now check all the available options (just make sure you don’t duplicate, as some options include others) and you’ll see that it’s $35K+.The best place to search for certified used cars (make sure it’s “Certified” so that it has extended manufacturing warranty) is http://www.autotrader.com.

Participant[quote=donaldduckmoore]Happened to go online to check out some 2008 Lexus R350. They are not cheap… [/quote]
Depend on your definition of “cheap”. You can get a 2008 RX350 with relatively low mileage and 3+ year warranty (new + certified) for less than a fully loaded brand new Toyota RA4…and the RA4 is nowhere near as luxurious, plush or feature-loaded. Wouldn’t you consider that a good deal? I would.
I’m shopping for a 2008 Acura TL based on the same logic that I can get a better certified car with comparable warranty service than a brand new Honda Accord.
