With the economy continuing to struggle, many people who would normally buy a new vehicle are turning to used cars for their purchase. For those in the market for a luxury used car, Motor Trend has some suggestions.

The economy is making it a buyer’s market even for used cars with the Dow Jones recently reporting that used car prices fell 8 percent in 2008. With that in mind, Motor Trend says it might be possible to snag a great luxury car at a not so luxury a price.

In the supercar category, the magazine picks the 1990-2005 Acura NSX. Motor Trend says the car’s marriage of “supermodel personality with Girl-Scout reliability” forced Italian carmakers to up their game when the car was released.

For those looking for a car that can carry the groceries along with the kids and the dog, the website suggest the 2001-2007 Volvo V70 or XC. Volvos are known for their safety and this wagon is no exception but for people just driving in the city, the site says they might want to go for the “prettier” V70 version.

The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that luxury used car sales are up across the country and says the already good market should get better soon as three to four-year-old leases begin being turned in.
