By Danny Green

Who does not want to drive around a luxuriant convertible car? Everyone does, secretly, or openly. Due to the price range of the convertible car, driving them, or experiencing them is dream come true.

Now the dream of a luxury convertible is not that out of reach, especially when one can make it come true with the help of a second hand luxury convertible. They cost around $7, 000-21,000, which is not too much cost for a wish.

Depreciation price of the used luxury convertible is much less than the new one, so one saves money not in the price, but also in the depreciation. Still, it is not easy to get a used car because of the financial crisis around the whole globe, one should be cautious while making a small or big investment. You cannot let your hard-earned money go in waste, even for a desire or dream.

Making a deal for a used convertible is not an easy task; you must have a good sense of spending money, which has been saved up by you for years. If you have the ability to make a deal go through, then trust your instincts and go ahead with the deal. On the other hand, if you do not have much knowledge about the second hand cars, and least of all, of the convertibles, then it is better to get advice from an expert, before you make payment.

A brand new luxury convertible comes with the service warranty from the automakers. A used car may have expired its warranty period, and the maintenance cost is anyway very high. Car critics are of the view that one should not buy used luxury convertibles older than 2004 model.

There are a few basic features to look in a used luxury convertible before buying it. Make sure what type of sunroof the convertible has. Check the functioning of the rooftop. Take it out for a test drive. This is how you will actually know the speed of the car, and the functioning of the sunroof. You will also be able to gauge its performance, and the noise it makes. You must be looking at the exterior, interior, and the performance factor in a used luxury convertible.

If it falls short in any of these features, then it might not be such a good deal. If you are willing to put in some extra money and effort in its repair, then that is a matter of your own choice. Luxury convertibles are not known to be fuel-efficient. This should be kept in mind that you shall have an added expense of the fuel, repair, and maintenance.

The dealer/individual who is selling his car to you is ethically bound to inform you about the problem areas, if it has any. You should be careful on your own part, and should ask questions that concern you. Ask him if there are leakages in the rooftop, or the windows. At the end of the day, you are the one who is to decide whether you have made a good deal or not.
