Smart used car buyers may find great deals

While there may be plenty of used car deals out there, none may surpass the sale of 30 Bugattis that were sold for $85,000 in 1964.

According to the New York Times, the freight load of 30 vintage French sport cars was loaded onto a train in a small Illinois town to be shipped to an unknown seller in France. When the price of the cars are converted to today’s economy, the news provider stated it was still a “giveaway” since the amount came to $600,000.

To put in context, a Bugatti Type 41 Royale sold for $28 million, Katie Hellwig from the auction house Gooding & Company told the Times.

Though it may be rare for a garden-variety consumer to find such a deal as astounding as the 1964 Bugatti one, there is still something to be said for finding great deals on used cars for their value.

The editors at Edmunds.com say used BMW 3 Series from 2002 to 2007 are a great used car buy because it “embodies everything a coupe should be: sporty, stylish and with a level of practicality closer to that of a sedan than a dedicated sports car.”
