Our Blog | Motor City LA in Lafayette | Used Dealership near New Orleans

A sports car is pretty much everyone’s dream, but the high cost can be prohibitive for every man. That’s why we here at Motor City LA offer the finest used sports cars to the discerning customer in Lafayette and around central Louisiana: we want to help you find your dream car at an affordable price.

Of all the cars on our lot, there are a few that our customers just keep asking for. Here’s a list of those, plus a little about each of the best-used sports cars on the market.

Chevrolet Corvette

There’s a reason why Prince wrote a song about this legendary car: over its more than 60 years of production, it has had no equal. Until 2020, its front-engine design means it roars around corners, ahead at stoplights, and more, and the 2014–2019 generation’s carbon-fiber construction keeps it light and powerful at the same time.

BMW 335i

The BMW 335i was a fantastic sports sedan, with its six-cylinder engines pulling over 300 horsepower, multiple iterations, and timeless BMW style. Plus, it looked just modest enough that you could slip by unnoticed in traffic while commuting to work.

Ford Mustang

Ford is known for building reliable work trucks and sport muscle cars, and its Mustang has been one of the best-selling Fords in history. Keep an eye out for the Mustang GT, especially in the car’s fifth-generation (2005–2014 model years), with its aluminum-block 4.6L SOHC three-valve modular V8 engine with variable camshaft timing producing 300 hp. The newest Mustang generation, starting in 2015, isn’t too shabby either: its new independent rear suspension system makes your ride smooth as silk while you’re cruising down the highway.

If you want a luxury vehicle at an affordable price, buying a used luxury brand like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Camaro, Corvette, or others can be a great option. Since they’re luxury vehicles, you know they’re built to last, and all the vehicles we sell at Motor City LA have been thoroughly vetted for lasting quality and value. When looking for a quality used luxury vehicle, you need to look no further than the used luxury dealership at Motor City LA.

Used Sports Cars Depreciate Less than New Ones

You’ve probably heard the cliché that cars lose 15% of their value as soon as they’re driven off the lot. Not only is that true, but a luxury car also continues to lose value over the first two to three years of its service. However, after those first years, cars’ values tend to level out.

What this means for you is that if you buy a used Camaro from Motor City, when you’re ready to trade it in or trade it up for something better a few years down the line, you’ll be able to recoup more of your purchase cost. You can’t say the same about a brand new Camaro.

Used Luxury Cars’ Build Quality is Constantly Improving

One of the constant trends in auto manufacturing has been the increasing longevity and build quality of vehicles. Of course, luxury offerings have had a bit of a head start, but a rising tide raises all boats, as they say.

All this means is that now is a better time than ever to swing for the value and quality of a used luxury car. Especially with available Vehicle History Reports like CARFAX®, you can rest assured that the pre-owned luxury car you buy from Motor City LA will last you for years to come.

There’s a Wider Variety of Used Luxury Cars to Choose From

Each year, every automaker releases a set number of vehicles to the public. If you limit yourself to buying the newest models, you only get a fraction of the total offerings of that manufacturer. And if you prefer the design decisions of last year’s or previous year’s models, you have to put up with the difference of a new vehicle.

However, if you widen your search to include used luxury cars, you can choose from the best model years of all models, meaning you have a much bigger variety of quality used cars to choose from!
