| Used Luxury-<b>Car Prices</b> Drop Most in February - KickingTires Posted: 20 Feb 2014 02:55 PM PST Average prices for late-model used cars advanced slightly in February, increasing just $12 to $23,249 as of Feb. 1. Prices for used luxury models, however, were on the decline as seven of the 10 models with the biggest price drops were from the luxury class. Study: Men Want Luxury Cars, Women Want Crossovers The top five models with the biggest price drops were luxury models, and all saw their prices dip by more than 3 percent. The Cadillac DTS' price dropped the most, falling 3.6 percent ($1,025) to $27,634. Aside from the BMW X3 compact luxury crossover, which saw its price drop 3.3 percent ($1,233), all of the models in the top 10 were cars. There were considerably more types of vehicles represented in the list of models with the biggest price gains, and they were mostly from non-luxury brands; just two luxury cars made this list. Leading all models with the biggest price increase was the Ford E-250 full-size van, which was up 2.9 percent ($605) to $21,398. The charts detail used cars from the 2011 to 2013 model years with the biggest price drops — as well as those with the biggest gains. To be eligible for the lists, a model has to have at least 250 cars in Cars.com's national inventory. Source: Cars.com used-car listings, 2011 to 2013 model years Manufacturer photo  |
| Is This Tesla Model S the World's Most Expensive Electric <b>Car</b>? Posted: 18 Mar 2014 10:00 PM PDT   There is no doubt that the Tesla Model S is a premium product that carries a premium price tag. While Tesla itself often quotes the "starting at" price for its Model S, however, at least one Tesla owner wanted to see just how high he could get the car's price by ticking all the options that were made available to him. The result? The $205,820 Tesla Model S shown here. Now, to be fair, I should point out that nearly half of the cost of the $200K Tesla you see here comes from aftermarket upgrades made by a company called TSportline. Presenting themselves as a sort of "AMG for Tesla," TSportline claims to be "the world's first electric car accessory tuner specifically focusing on the Tesla Motors brand." And these people know a thing or two about jacking up a car. "We are a group of automotive enthusiasts with over 30 years of combined automotive accessory experience. Our passion is electric cars and the Tesla brand. We believe Tesla has provided us a pallet (sic) where we can enable each owner to individualize his or her Tesla." Faulty grammar notwithstanding, it looks like the TSportline guys know what's what. You can see what the included TSportline upgrade options cost here …
… and note that their prices are actually fairly reasonable when compared to, say, RENNtech or Brabus, who offer similar visual and interior upgrades for Mercedes and Tesla-branded cars. If you can afford it, then, it might not be a bad price to pay for an utterly unique ride. You can see more of the modifications TSportline made to this "most expensive Tesla Model S" in Gas2′s 15 image photo gallery, and let us know what you think of the car in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
