A specific type of vehicle agreement involves driving a previously owned luxury automobile from a distinguished German manufacturer for a defined period. This arrangement differs from purchasing the vehicle outright or leasing a brand-new model. An example is acquiring the right to operate a two-year-old C-Class sedan for 36 months with pre-determined mileage restrictions.
This method provides access to a premium brand at a potentially lower monthly cost compared to a new vehicle contract. Benefits may include reduced depreciation impact, as the initial decline in value has already occurred. Historically, such arrangements were less common, but increasing demand for affordability in the luxury car market has contributed to their growing popularity and availability.
