- This week James and Thomas answer the much-requested question: What cheap cars are the most luxurious, and which of them project the most affluence? This strange pursuit of looking rich actually resulted in a very fun search for used luxury cars, and we think we found a good little collection. What are they? Watch to find out. Safely filmed at home and in isolation.

You asked, we answered. And okay we got a bit silly with this one, but its a silly pursuit and we had a surprising amount of fun making it. This one's just for a laugh and it is by no means an actual buying guide. Let us know what else you'd like to see us tackle and make sure to follow us on instagram @thethrottlehouse to see whats coming up and how we're managing our isolation.
you should make a video of best first cars
@Rubedo Alaberti The Phaeton will be featuring in a list soon
Ghibli instead of quattroporte, modern looking
well actually the ls430 is the best mention

Get a used lexus
Fake it until you make it. Or have Dimitri coming after you.
@@unfairsanic5089 seriously, some of the cars on this list are guaranteed to total your car 3 times over if something fails. Bentley, Quattroporte, Range Rover, Rolls Royce, S class, 7 Series
I would stick with the G Wagen, Boxster, and Lexus, they're the most reliable. I've heard the Jag is average in terms of reliability
People think the car they drives fouls others, but when BMWs, Lexus, etc sell almost as much as Toyotas and Fords they aren't really that special anymore. Also they are only fouling themselves as the badge on your car will not add any commas to your bank balance. Regarding your "don't go broke tryna look rich", so true you know how many Mercedes with broken airmatic suspension I've seen driving down the road. Even if you can afford to buy a used luxury car, the maintenance and repairs are the same whether new or used, so good luck with repairs on your used Maserati if that gearbox or engine goes boom.

My father has a jaguar and guess what. No problems. because he do the service at the time and not to the neighborhood garage but to the jaguar. If you don't do the service to jaguar and you make service without to know what the jaguar need's its a normal to have a problems.

If you do your Homework om what to expect, thats No issue
Hans Wurst well if you done your homework then you wouldn’t purchase one in the first place knowing what the repair and maintenance would cost..
If you are smart about automotive maintenance and know a thing or two about it just do your preventative maintenece on time and you will have 0 issues.
@@hanswurst6742 Doesn't matter if you know what to expect, still going to be expensive to fix and maintain
This is true. A lot of people buy ridiculously unreliable cars in the name of looking cool (2002 Mercedes S430 anyone?), but the maintenance is murder. People say "fix it yourself," but oftentimes the required repair either necessitates expensive parts or is ridiculously labor intensive (early Audi S4).
I rented the 2005 G500 on Turo, the same one Hoovies Garage rented. You get an insane amount of looks when driving around, it’s so cool

To be honest, if you have a Range rover and can maintain it, you really are a baller for real
The only vehicle I would consider out of this list is the Lexus LS. It's the only one that will cost less to maintain than the price you paid.
exactly my thought at the end of this video
Yup same
This is the only car that doesn't belong on that list... That low price ad was probably a typo 🤣
Those things are extremely hard to find and only appreciate in value.

There's a reason why they're so cheap. Un-rich people cant afford to keep them running, and they're too old for rich people to keep them.
BINGO!
There is an old Italian proverb "That which is cheap soon becomes expensive" and it couldn't be more relevant for these automotive basket cases.
Just ask Hoovie's Garage 😅
Will Tyler share the Wizard's phone number with you?
...the British version is save a penny, spend a pound..
Hoovie would buy all of these except the Lexus, since it doesn't break down.
The Lexus will break down just like the rest.

Cheers.
Just found this channel. Do you think they're better than The Straight Pipes?
you know what i thought.... those guys come as close as i’ve seen to my favorite car show Top Gear (Grand Tour) 😁, and i love it 😁 Keep doing the great job of combining car reviews with great humor 👍
Out of those three cars I had the pleasure to feature, the Mercedes-Benz S 55 AMG was my favourite. Sure, you could go for the uber-reliable Lexus, or the James Bond E38 7 Series, but there was something seriously special about a luxury missile that was fast as hell, and smooth like butter. Stay safe and stay healthy everyone!
Thanks again, Nile!
Lexus Lame any of the other ones yes
Gives me a list of other classic cars I need to feature now!
I agree and that’s why I have an E55 AMG. The Lexus IS probably the best choice for people who sincerely have the goal of having something nice but won’t bankrupt them. I recently acquired a 1983 Porsche 944 also. I bought it for $3500 mostly restored and hopefully limited issues. Big hope, I know...
Lexus and Toyota to me means you gave up on life
life's too short to be in comi ugly ass crappy car
I like to style and profile Wooooo
In the words of Scotty Kilmer "endless money pits " except the Lexus
Yeah, just get a 1994 Toyota Celica😉
He said that the ls430 was a money pit
@@paulmaartin If you get the V8 i engine yes because it is an interference engine if you don't change the timing chain often than most other cars. The more recent LS cars have a V6 option which is still a good buy even though they have turbos but its a big engine so the engine isn't going to wear out as much
@@paulmaartin He said they get expensive as they age, but when mileage is really high. Yes, a 300,000 mile/500,000 km LS may need some expensive repairs.
@James St Patrick how does an under 10k miles car breaks you? Isn't there a warranty? 350 Benz engines were the worst ones. 550 from 2008 are very good
Love it! I think I've never been this much entertained by a car review. You guys are gems!
All those vehicles are money pits 🤦🏾♂️ except the Lexus
When James says baller, for some reason it sounds like Ebola to me. “If you buy this car you, you will look Ebola...”
I can't help but hear anything other than that now, I hate you 😂
Disappointed that they didn't add to the list of words he can't say with his accent lol
With the old 7 series it's probably not entirely innaccurate- you're definitely going to catch something from the previous owner in most cases.
Lol that's exactly what I thought I heard at first too....lol
"Pull paul in pool" 😂😂😂😂
"Aaron earned an iron urn."

So perfectly editted and produced as always! Amazing watching haha thanks
I enjoyed the humor and info mixed into one video. Great delivery! I subbed :)
Tyler hoovies Garage, literally
The Bentley is the top one for me
Agreed, it's the Only one on that list that looks nice outside and inside.
@@JG-ef2cn I thought the Jag looked good as well. But the Bentley looks wow!
Its The Default YT Lexus held up well honestly
The Bentley and the G-Wagon.
Yea it’s baller and the Quattroporte
The 986 is such a good deal for an enthusiast, especially a pre 2003 model (early models only have two catalytic converters). It's one of the last analog sports cars. No throttle by wire, no traction control. Just a fantastic chassis and fun engine in a car that you can cruise at 100mph with the top down and have a conversation (its shockingly quiet) and go carve corners with ease. It's also super easy to work on and a very simple car, all the components are easily accessible despite the mid engine layout. Change your IMS when you change the clutch and you're good.
Great job guys. Hysterically funny and informative. Both of you have excellent comic timing and delivery. Kudos
All these cars except the lexus are horrible endless money pits
Yup. Apparently the Bentley is pretty reliable, but the annual service costs more than some of the cars on the list, as does the fuel.
Admittedly a realistic list would be a little dull: Lexus, Lexus, Hyundai Genesis, Lexus, Lexus, Infiniti, Lexus, some obscure JDM Toyota, Lexus, etc. Perhaps some American cars, but I'm British so I have no idea how much they cost to buy or run...Ford is basically the only US brand that sells here and, as great as the Fiesta is, it would be just a tiny bit out of place in this list...just a tiny bit.
Lexus Lame
except lexus dont make you look baller
The Lexus is not an exception in that regard. It breaks down like any other car.
Lexus and Toyota are like every other car they do break down go to any shop you'll see them there I have three in my backyard right now two of them are not savable $$$. they will end up in the junkyard. They're disposable cars no pride I don't see that with other brands
The point is to be a baller, not to look like one.
Obviously this video is not for you, big baller.
Why are you here if you don't want to LOOK like a baller?
@@icey5515"Good," "point."
Zin With these cars you‘re still poor, but you‘re getting robbed like wealthy people XD
The point of being a baller is to actually look like one. You are doing it for the image. Not for yourself
'11 and up Jaguar XJL Supercharged, pure class, 4.4 second to 60 470 hp V8, great handling and stunning in caviar/wheat. Yes, it's reliable. Bought it in Florida in'17, did nothing other than basic maintenance, zero complaints. Now I am enjoying the hell out of it in Antalya/Turkey. Yes Jags can be problematic but "only" the XJs 95-98, 01-09, 11 and up V8 models are bulletproof especially SC engines with beefed up internals. Rest of the Jags I wouldn't touch with a 10' pole.

There is no such thing as "balling on a budget"
The whole point of ballin is that you DONT have a budget.
Here comes the middle class trying to act like they are rich again ...haha
And yet you're watching this video...
Middle Class here. if you live outside of expensive cities and can't afford a house... well, get a cheap flat and start to ball around in a nice car.
You most certainly can ball on a budget, just stick to the damn budget
You’re wrong. Rich people get rich making and sticking to their budget.
People like that only visit Miami Memorial weekend. What type of living is that?
If you’re going to suffer the downfalls of an E38, get the V12 750iL. There’s already no turning back. Or, you could get a 2006 Audi A8 4.2 for $900 with a collapsed suspension, fix it, and sell for $6000. I’ve seen it happen.
Great list and hilarious video as always 😂. Most car for money or worst depreciation is the Bentley. It's one of the nicer looking ones and still looks modern.

My cheap luxory whip: 2011 Mercedes Benz ML350 4matic. Bought it a few years back for $15k and it had all the upgrades, even ones I don't need like the backseat TVs. It has been extremely reliable and has never failed me a single time. The ride is superb, it is very safe and filled with airbags, and the engine is strong. I'm already at 125k miles and i'm confident I'll double it. Even though the body style is almost 15 years old, people always think it's a 2015 or 2016. A coworker even said she thought I probably paid $50k for it!

If you buy a car only for your image, you definitely have some sort of problems or insecurities.
From what I know, nothing costs more than a cheap European luxury car.
That goes for houses, clothes, vacations you take....not only cars. And most people do it, because they do care about their image.
Boss I don’t think vacations really cut the list
@@vedanttaneja4428 Absolutely they do. So many people brag abut the places they visited and so on. Anything that one can brag about or show off belongs on the list.
Boss no one goes on a vacation just to brag that they went on a vacation 😂
@@vedanttaneja4428 You cannot be serious. Of course they do. Documenting your trips around the globe on social media is the replacement for the old "I got a fancy car" when it comes to people obsessed with image. The need for attention is real and comes in many forms.
That LS430 🥺❤️.
Better then the S class and 7 series. You only thing I like about the S class is the engine and that will be a nightmare to maintain
yupp i luv my 02 ls430
Excellent video!
The Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 definitely belongs on this list. I got mine for a whopping $4,000, but when people see that I have a red, two seat, collectors plate Mercedes convertible they automatically assume I spent at least 5 times that. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I haven't had any issues with the car other than minor maintenance during my ownership either.
This also applies to later generation SLKs, but those cost a bit more.
How reliable is it? I’m in the market for a cheap convertible and I don’t know where to go.
That's one and only merc i would like to own in my life. And the W126. And W463. And W222 eventually
Siddhartha Parekh -- Like I said, my personal experience has been very good, but from what I've heard others haven't had as good of a time. Parts are kinda expensive and I know the convertible top is prone to issues so if you do buy one I'd suggest having an extra $1000 saved for maintenance. Get it inspected before you buy it and hopefully you'll be fine.
It's a Merc SLK and it's red ... are you a man? 😀
Zs B -- Nah, I'm a female hairdresser 😉. Maybe one day I'll upgrade to a black SLK 55 AMG or BMW Z4 and become a man.
2010 - 2012 Porsche Panamera?
You guys are so funny 😂 (especially James).
Fun vid boys! Well done!
2 years been watching these guys and I still don't know their names.
The Clarkson Jaaaaag's were spot on. lol
Also.. as I was once told. You can 'own' a BMW, Porsche, Lexus, Jaaaaaag etc But can you AFFORD them? Parts are still the original pricing, as are the maintainence items. I totally understand what you're saying... I've looked at some of them myself. But then I looked at my wallet and had to go Japanese reliability and more importantly, affordability. ;)
Haha, you guys are getting more hilarious every time 😂😂😂
What is pretty amazing is that you did a really good job of giving an example of 10 cheap cars that may make me look like a Baller. So good job. Here I go, just after this with a thumbs up. AF
