Look 3 Expensive Cars Worth the Price

PhotobucketPhotobucketLook 3 Expensive Cars Worth the Price. expensive stuff that's good, certainly with the quality that can rely and guarantee comfort while driving three cars following, let us refer to both the luxury and sophistication of the three cars below:

BMW X5 ,The little Luxury SUV
MSRP: $47,200 to $63,800
Luxury's nice, but luxury combined with utility will help a carmaker earn that high price tag every time.

Few luxury cars of any kind, never mind SUVs, fulfill their price's promise quite as well as the X5. This little luxury SUV that could gets a lot of help from fun toys such as a panoramic moonroof with two-piece glass panel, automatic front climate control with separate left and right temperature settings, automatic tailgate with opening and closing feature, front and rear parking distance sensors, rearview camera, a heads-up display on the windshield, Sirius satellite radio, HD radio, rear entertainment center for the kids and a navigation system with traffic alerts.

It's that third row of rear seating and engines that range from the 269-horsepower, 26-miles-per-gallon diesel V-8 of the xDrive35d to the 4.4-liter, 400-horsepower V-8 of the xDrive50i that keep the X5's prep-school parents happy, though.

How happy? Enough to make the X5 BMW's third-best selling line behind its 3 Series and 5 Series this year and to increase the X5's sales 2.7% year to date over last year, while the 3 Series posted a 4.9% decline during the same period.

This has all combined to give the X5 the best resale value of any luxury utility vehicle, according to Kelley Blue Book. The xDrive35d's 26 miles per gallon doesn't exactly make it a gas sipper, but it does give owners reselling them more for their money than any other luxury hybrid or diesel SUV.

MSRP: Starting at $380,000 to $447,000
Plenty of cautious car buyers with more cash than they can count have had their luxury cars plated and gilded into monuments of automotive excess. Rolls-Royce buyers, however, have had the luxury of letting the factory trick out their rides decades before "bling" entered the lexicon.

According to Mike Fox and Steve Smith, authors of Rolls Royce: The Complete Works, former Soviet leader Vladamir Lenin had his Rolls-Royce fitted as a half-track to slog through the Russian snow. Media magnate William Randolph Hearst wedged a bar, table and rolltop desk into his mirrored Rolls, while India's Maharaja of Nandgaon outfitted his with a steering wheel made of elephant tusks.

Even in modern times when interior animal touches are usually limited to leather and the occasional feather stuffing, Rolls Royce's Bespoke team is still in high demand. The automaker announced this summer that it would be doubling the size of the custom projects team at its Goodwood, England, headquarters by the end of the year to meet the demands of such customers as bedding bigwig Michael Fux, for whom the company created a candy-apple red carbon fiber interior and paint for use only in his automobiles, or the attendees of a luxury expo in Guangzhou, China, five years ago who got the first look at an extended, armor-plated, bulletproof version of its Phantom that sold for $3.8 million.

"They can color match a car's paint or interior leather to a pair of shoes, they can build an interior intended for the highest level of safety and business protocol or simply offer an indulgent interior with cigar humidifier and wine refrigerator for somebody who wants to travel in comfort," says Brandy Schaffels, senior editor and content manager for automotive cost comparison site TrueCar. "If you've got money to burn and want to travel in the highest level of comfort and safety, they are the car company to help you do it."

Volkswagen Race Touareg 3,eleghant
MSRP: $180,000 to $400,000
That Touareg that's dropping kids off at soccer practice in your town this afternoon is just the conservative cousin of a far bigger version that's kind of a big deal overseas.

Volkswagen's Race Touareg 3 won this year's Dakar rally, cinching the third-straight rally win for the Touaregs with a little help from a Kevlar-and-carbon fiber body, rooftop cooling systems and high-strength steel frame with springs and dampers at every corner. That 2.5-liter, 300 horsepower engine that allows it to top out at 117 mph on rally surfaces ranging from deep mud to gravel to broken asphalt roads is a nice little throw-in as well.

Usually these beasts are restricted to the off-road circuit, but Volkswagen surprised the auto industry shortly after its January win at Dakar by unveiling a street-legal version of the vehicle later that month at the 2011 Qatar Motor Show. The Red Bull decals and rally numbers were replaced with gray metallic paint, but the roll cage, sport seating and twin-turbocharged 2.5-liter engine and its 0-to-60 acceleration of under six seconds remained intact.

Given that the vehicles haven't been seen much since Qatar, there's a strong chance you won't be able to get your hands on one unless you came to the show with checkbook in hand. Race Touaregs and other rally cars have a tendency of selling right on the Dakar rally website, though. A 2006 model was selling for $67,000 earlier this year, but the standing $219,000 price on a 2007 version of the Touareg's toughest competitor -- the "X-Raid" version of the BMW X5 -- seems a lot closer to what rally enthusiasts can hope to pay for this year's.

How do you agree with the price and luxury they offer as an expensive cars with these fantastic prices.
