Prestige. Panache. Performance. The three pillars of a great German luxury car. The best combine a depth of engineering with exceptional design detail and an extraordinary exploitation of form as well as function. They look good and they drive even better.

You can argue that Germany’s top luxury brands — BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi — build the best cars in the world. And that they have for decades. Many enthusiasts agree. Germany’s best also offer incredible used-car value. That’s right, buying used German luxury can save you big bucks compared to buying the brand new version of the very same car. For a fraction of the price, you get the same prestige, panache, and performance. To maximize your value, we limited our list of the 10 best used German luxury cars to models just four years old or newer. That means they’re still available through factory-certified pre-owned (CPO) programs with extended warranties. Our choices are listed alphabetically.
