We bought a very nice used BMW convertible through the classifieds right here on TOTV about 8 years ago and feel that we got an excellent deal. There are many well to do old folks in the Villages who buy very nice cars, use them very lightly, always keep them well maintained and garaged, have very low mileage, and have never seen road salt or northern pot holes. Simple depreciation with age makes these cars a good value relative to the wear and tear they have on them. Unfortunately, since Covid supply shortages, and more recently tariffs, used cars have become a high demand item and good deals are much harder to come by.
