Pull up in the office parking garage or restaurant parking lot in a shiny, recent-vintage Porsche sports car, Mercedes sedan, or Cadillac Escalade SUV, and there’s a chance many observers may snort a bit judgmentally, assuming you have more money than sense.
But when you discover the CPO secret, you actually may be able to drive a luxury vehicle that costs less than the mid-priced cars that your friends, co-workers, and family members drive. Imagine driving a three-year-old, looks-like-new Porsche Macan SUV that cost $10,000 less than what your neighbor paid for a new Hyundai grocery-getter. They will wonder why you have a bemused, Mona Lisa-like smile every time you see their car.
