Buy These CHEAP Cars and Look RICH!

let's be honest we all want to look like we're rich ayo my best friend's rich check it out you know the nice clothes nice house the apple watch uh it's more than just a modern day pager this thing tells me when to breathe heck call me shallow but all of these things make lasting first impressions and so why should your car be any different i mean you don't want to pull up to the club in your mom's odyssey do you [Music] that's why we made this list so that you can roll on the haters and do it without breaking the bank and you're definitely going to want to stay till the end because we got something pretty special saved up so if you're new here my name is brad danger hit that subscribe button and turn on the notification bell and here are eight yes eight cheap cars that'll make you look rich and none of them suck let's go [Music] we're starting this list off with a classic cadillac has made a name for itself as one of america's most recognizable luxury brands and they've been around since the dinosaurs or well close to that and a couple blasts from the past that were super rad were iconic models like the deville and the el dorado and so they've been proven that they're the best since well at least a few decades ago but as we've moved into the more modern age and sports car performance has become more important to luxury car makers cadillac has taken their own crack at the sport sedan game and ladies and gentlemen they hit a home run because in 2004 they developed this cts-v and this thing was built to take on the germans with a push rod v8 known as the ls6 and sports tuned suspension and when it's pumping out 400 good old american muscles with a six-speed manual shifter which uh shameless plug but if you want to row your own gears and save the manual transmission snag our best-selling ideal t up here because the cadillac cts-v is not your grandfather's caddy not at all this is one seriously badass sedan that was built to take on and beat the germans and so not only can you use your caddy for smoking supercars at stoplights [Music] but you'll probably have enough money saved over to drown them out with some straight pipes [Applause] that sounds so good and this is all while well you're back not suffering from the usual sports car shortcomings because this is a cadillac and so you can expect performance and luxury sneak inside and you are met with a fully leather filled interior with all the amenities to make you feel like a king and for those gen 1 models you're looking at spending roughly 15 000 bucks so your wallet will thank you and me later and if you want to check out some examples for yourself go click the links down in the description and the first comment from autotempest because there's some killer good deals on them right now in fact i linked all the cars in this list down below using auto tempest and so see if there's an ideal car down there for you and now let's shift gears and take a look at what your cousin who played a little too much need for speed might like you know something from the land of the rising sun we've looked at cars from this japanese manufacturer before and infinity has made its way onto another one of our lists and for dang good reason but the difference is that today we're not talking about the g35 or g37 we're talking about something a little bit more refined and a little bit more refreshed you see the q50 was created as a replacement for the g series of sedan and coupes and it brought the brand into a more modern age of sport sedans and the q series is more refined and i'm gonna get a lot of hate but i think it's better looking and yet it uses a similar architecture as the outgoing model and that's good because if it ain't broke don't fix it right well infinity listened to those words because it came out hot in 2013 with a 3.7 liter v6 and either rear wheel or all-wheel drive and then you could also pick the sport model which was targeting competitors like the bmw 3 series and mercedes c-class and not only does it sport a sharp design but it also has a well-equipped interior and exceptional reliability and performance the q50 is one of the best bang for your buck deals in the luxury sedan market and if you look hard enough you can find them in the 12 to 18 thousand dollar range so yes you may spend a little bit more than the cts-v but check out what you're getting it's the classic nissan v6 formula rear wheel or all-wheel drive a luxurious ride and you can brag that you technically have a skyline okay maybe not the fun skyline but these are called skylines back in japan and we found a few clean titled q50s on autotempest like this one for under 13k okay we've had two acceptable choices for your next ride but for this next one let's think a little more about royalty and throw sensibility to the wind now yes this wouldn't be on our list if we skipped the unreliable money pits but we're not skipping this one the bentley or naj which doesn't exist anymore but the arnage is quintessentially bentley and the arnage was put into production by bentley and rolls-royce's parent company vickers in the mid-1990s to put these super luxurious marquis back on the map and when it came to the power plant well they took a bmw twin turbo v8 and shoehorned it in there and the output was pretty frightening 349 horsepower and a respectable 413 foot pounds of torque and while those numbers today probably don't sound super impressive back in the 90s that's a heck of a lot of horsepower and it helped push the arnage effortlessly through the back roads and down the highway and it's almost like that big german v8 acted less like an engine and more like a patient butler would you like some more smooth acceleration sir as you wish really though if you push that go pedal to the floor you get an aristocrat waft of power propelling you forward the arnage is probably also the most luxuriously equipped vehicle on this list because after all it it is a bentley the interior feels less like a cockpit and more like a victorian living room and it's just sprinkled with sophistication throughout and so how much do you think that this british poshness is gonna cost you well used options don't really cost all that much between 15 and 25 000 bucks and you essentially get a bentley for the cost of a brand new volkswagen golf unfortunately it's british and it's notoriously unreliable and so you might just end up spending a warren buffett size bankroll on replacement parts but even if this bentley drains every last dollar that you have people are just going to think that you're rolling in it and sure you're going to make a statement with an arnage in your garage which is probably where it's going to spend most if not all of its time and probably not just your garage probably the repair garage as well and that's why you might want to consider our next car on this list which will let you fly completely under the radar in the lap of luxury we all have that one friend that has an audi he has a pretty good job he never uses his blinkers wait isn't that bmw no no yeah he never uses his blinkers and is pretty much latched onto everyone else's rear bumper like 99 of the time when he's not closing business deals on the golf course he's probably driving around in an audi a4 the a4 has been around for nearly two decades and its popularity has never really wavered and a lot of folks can agree that it's simple and refined design is really appealing and so it's become really easily accessible luxury and the 08 to 12 generation which is known as the b8 has become particularly popular and it sits in that ideal sweet spot where it's old enough to be affordable but still really well designed and still modern looking even eight years after its release the a4 gets the same 2-liter turbo four-cylinder found in the volkswagen gti and that's paired with audi's signature quattro all-wheel drive which makes the a4 a competent performance sedan too heck this thing is essentially a golf r with a trunk and if you're lucky and look really hard you can find yourself an avant version of the a4 which not only gives you a little more storage space but some clout with the wagon boys and while yes the s4 is the performance variant that everyone wants i wouldn't skimp on the a4 because that's what apr and those other tuning companies are for and we all know that a tune is just a phone call away and now you're beating s-4s [Music] and so how much can all this luxury and performance cost well i'm glad you asked you can find clean models for around 10k or less that's all-wheel drive a smooth ride and modern looks all for less than a new golf that's pretty ideal in my book and the germans always have exquisite options for simple cost-effective luxury machines so let's keep looking at what else they can throw our way for our next entry does your luxurious lifestyle demand a little bit more room in utility do you like to go off-road every once in a while and do you have a dog or maybe even a tinder date that you like to haul around well we have the car for you the mercedes gla is the baby in the mercedes suv lineup and it really acts more like a lifted hatchback than a full-size suv and yes you will be spending a little bit more than the other cars on this list but i think we can prove that it's worth the extra cost you get an industry standard 2-liter four-cylinder engine with a turbo slapped on and all-wheel drive yes and you think it's an audi repeat well no think again because the audi doesn't have 14.9 cubic feet of cargo space this means you your tinder date your dog and heck a bunch of your friends can all ride along in comfort or you could just fill the whole thing up with ideal merch like this best-selling save the manuals tee we won't judge and that 5.3 inches of ground clearance is the perfect amount for city driving and going off the beaten path and if you look hard enough you may be able to find an amg model but just be aware that it's more of a visual pack than actual performance and judgmental looks from other merc owners may be a side effect so choose your gla wisely and how much dough are we talking for a solid gla example well yes you will be paying more than 16k and i know it hurts to here but you get what you pay for and a fairly new mercedes benz for less than 30k which is a fraction of what you'd spend on any other bends is actually a really good deal and we found this example for 16.5 k on auto tempest and an amg gla for about five grand more a german sub compact suv is as safe of a choice as any for a nice luxurious car to stun in but let the british take another swing at the budget rich guy car just make sure that you uh have a tool kit nearby no no no because the british make the list once again and here's a guy that we all know he wears business casual almost every single day how can someone lack the shame and dignity to come into an office looking like that to put on those clothes and stroll into a place of business and think that that's an acceptable way to live your life and he most likely owns a small british roadster for weekend cruises and that british roadster might be one of two models an mg or a triumph and the triumphs make our list because they have much more refined and classy design language and old triumph tr models look amazing and in fact i actually owned one a few years ago a 1976 tr6 and it definitely got a lot of attention and people thought i had a lot more money than i did and like the tr6 another model is the gt6 which if you close one eye and squint with the other it can easily be confused with a classic ferrari and here's the thing anytime that i see a triumph in the wild i always think to myself that that driver must be doing pretty well for himself and plus who doesn't like topless motoring now prices can range anywhere from five to twenty thousand dollars and that depends a lot on what model you want unfortunately now we have to get down to the cold hard truth british reliability well those two words don't go together my old tr6 was pretty good at breaking down and well never ask squid about his old land rover know what you're getting into it's a land rover it's going to break down a lot don't buy a land rover buy a lexus gx470 have i made enough videos telling you that you see old british cars are overly complex as in they make sure that owners know how to wrench and if you're a credit card mechanic like me yeah you don't want to own one but if you know how to hold a monkey wrench well then your hard time under the hood will be rewarded because this is the quintessential classic weekend road trip car and if that sounds like you well then hit the road in style in this triumph spitfire for nine thousand dollars i mean because after all they say you can't put a price on happiness okay i am exhausted about talking about all this constant maintenance can we look at something a little bit more sensible please okay so let's shift gears to the polar opposite of the triumph roadster because japan has a reputation for reliability and precision engineering and you may find mismatched door panel colors on a triumph spitfire but an acura tlx is gonna be precise and elegant down to the last bolt and you can get the updated version of honda's 2.4 liter 4-cylinder or their 3.5 liter v6 paired to a fully automatic transmission and power is sent through either the front wheels or through honda's all-wheel drive system on higher spec models and before you smash your phone in protest i know front wheel drive automatic brad danger have you lost your mind well no i i don't think so because the tlx is actually pretty capable on its feet and that's thanks to honda's very clever all-wheel steering system and if you'll remember honda first introduced the all-wheel steering back with the prelude and they brought that tech into the 21st century with the tlx and this means that you can just guide the tlx through the corners and the rear wheels will be turning independently from the front so you will feel like a driving god and not to mention you'll be piloting your tlx from a beautifully trimmed interior with full leather seats and a very contemporary looking dash so let's tally up all the points for the tlx you can find it with both a four and a six cylinder six cylinder engine plus with all-wheel steering and on top of that you have a well-trimmed interior and driving characteristics to compete with the german counterparts and you know the best part you can find tlx models for relatively cheap prices float around the 12k mark for nearly all models so this is our winner right well not so fast because this next car well it's poised to steal the show and this is the moment of truth one that is surely to completely knock your socks off but it's definitely gonna be pricey and this is our honorable mention baby and it's a good one oh that felt so good the outlandish spaceship shaped ddr gruyeon gt8 this frankenstein supercar is part porsche and park corvette and it'll make you stand out among all of the huracans and audi r8s and ddr is a miami-based company that will ship you the full gta body in a box leaving the rest of assembly on you and remember when we mentioned that triumphs like to make sure that you're an honest mechanic well the gt8 is a more extreme version of that because if you have an engine from a c5 corvette and the drivetrain from a porsche 911 then you're already halfway there now this won't exactly be the most luxurious ride inside because most of the luxurious components are going to be ripped out for the sake of performance but who cares when you have a completely unique looking car with a spoiler and roof scoop now base price for the kit is 18 000 which is a lot and when you add in all the extra parts and labor well you're looking at quite a bit of money invested but trust me all those costs will be worth it in the end being able to roll up to your next car meet in something that no one has ever seen before that is absolutely priceless and hey if you're like me and you want to skip the hundreds of hours of blood sweat and tears to put this thing together well pre-built examples of the ddr gt8 have gone on sale for under 60 grand which if you ask me is a steal of a deal when you have a car that essentially looks like a mclaren f1 which are what 8 million dollars now and the gt8 is in the price range of a very well used audi r8 and that supercar won't stand out at all like a gt8 i think that is the ultimate cheap car that'll make you look rich with cheap being you know subjective so there you have it what cars did we miss and what was your favorite let us know down below i'll be down there answering your questions and if you're new here i'm brad danger this is ideal please subscribe and turn on the notification bell and also hit that like button and check out some of
