5 Celebrities With Used Cars In Their Garage

There couldn't be a better time to buy a used car. The options are aplenty and the demand is going through the roof. You are now seeing more organised players in the used car space that will offer you the best deals possible. You have more opportunities now to bag a good deal on a pre-owned machine. No more are used cars seen as a sign of 'lack of affordability.' It's about being thrifty instead and getting more value for the penny you pay. In fact, celebrities with more money than you and I have been doing it for ages, and quite successfully too in the luxury and performance car market. Buying pre-owned examples of luxury cars not only helps shave off a bulk of the sticker price but also lets you keep the prestige intact. Here are five examples of celebrities buying pre-owned luxury cars that you need to know about.

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli remains one of the most successful players in the history of Indian cricket and the cricketer sure brings in the big bucks every year. But that didn't stop him from bringing home a pre-owned Bentley Continental GT. The former Indian skipper has been seen in the white Bentley on a couple of occasions in Delhi.

2. Badshah

Indian rapper Badshah knows how to make anthems and certainly has no dearth of money with several exotics already a part of his garage. But when it came to his first Rolls-Royce, the rapper chose the pre-owned route and brought home the Wraith in a pristine white shade. The Rolls-Royce Wraith is priced around Rs. 6.5 crore for a new version, so you can expect Badshah managed to save a few crores right there.

Actor Shilpa Shetty is known to like fast and premium cars and has a fleet to her name that includes Bentleys and a Lamborghini. The actor though did not shy away from buying a used example when it came to owning a Range Rover. Purchased in the long wheelbase version, the uber luxury SUV was Shetty's daily runner and would've been available at a much lower asking price than a brand new one.

4. Yuvraj Singh

Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh is also a car fanatic known for his delectable taste in cars. The batsman has bought used cars time and again with the most recent example being the BMW X6 M. He also owned the Lamborghini Murcielago and BMW M5 E60, both of which were pre-owned examples.

One of the most popular actors in Malayalam cinema, Prithviraj Sukumar is an avid petrolhead and is known to add some really fancy exotics to his garage. He really went the extra mile though when he decided to add the Lamborghini Urus to his garage earlier this year. Interestingly, the actor opted for a pre-owned example from a Kochi-based dealership finished in gloss black.
