Manager Specials: 6 Used Vehicles Worth a Second Look at Dream Work Automotive
Manager Specials: 6 Used Vehicles Worth a Second Look at Dream Work Automotive
If you're shopping for a used car, truck, or SUV in Charlotte, our Manager Specials are one of the first places you should look.
These are vehicles we've identified for more aggressive pricing, giving shoppers an opportunity to find something they may have previously overlooked at a much more attractive price.
And this month's selection is all over the map in the best possible way. We've got luxury SUVs, an adventure-ready Subaru, a Mercedes-Benz sedan, a heavy-duty Power Wagon, and even a Mustang.
Here are six Manager Specials currently worth checking out at Dream Work Automotive.
2021 BMW X5 xDrive40i
Luxury SUV | AWD | 74,913 Miles
This is the one for someone who wants a premium SUV without paying the price of a brand-new BMW X5.
Our 2021 BMW X5 xDrive40i combines the versatility of an SUV with the driving experience and upscale interior buyers expect from BMW. More importantly for a Manager Special, the current deals page shows this X5 reduced from $32,749 to $25,725, a difference of more than $7,000.
For a Charlotte shopper comparing mainstream SUVs in the mid-$20,000 range, this is exactly the kind of vehicle that makes shopping pre-owned interesting.
2023 Lexus GX 460
Luxury SUV | 4WD | 46,814 Miles
Want something completely different from the typical crossover?
The 2023 Lexus GX 460 brings together traditional SUV capability and Lexus luxury. This one has a 4.6L V8, 4WD, 301 horsepower, seating for seven, and an Onyx Black exterior paired with a Rioja Red interior.
It's currently listed at $50,975, down from an original price of $57,749, for a $6,774 reduction.
This is our pick for the buyer who wants something luxurious but still wants the feel and capability of a true SUV.
2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness
Adventure SUV | AWD | 84,979 Miles
This may be one of the most interesting values of the group.
The 2024 Outback Wilderness is currently listed at $23,999, down $4,000 from its original $27,999 price. It's equipped with AWD, a 260-horsepower 2.4L engine, and a listed towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds.
It also brings plenty of technology to the table, including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, navigation, a moonroof, heated seats, and more.
For someone who wants an SUV that's practical Monday through Friday but ready for an adventure on the weekend, the Wilderness deserves a look.
2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 4MATIC
Luxury Sedan | 4MATIC AWD | 36,182 Miles
You don't necessarily need a huge budget to get into a newer Mercedes-Benz.
Our 2023 Mercedes-Benz C 300 4MATIC currently has just 36,182 miles and is listed at $29,249, reduced $5,750 from its original $34,999 price.
Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder producing 255 horsepower, paired with a nine-speed automatic and Mercedes-Benz's 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. The listing also shows an EPA estimate of 24 city and 33 highway MPG.
It's a great example of why we tell shoppers not to assume a luxury badge automatically means an unreachable price.
2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
Heavy-Duty Truck | 4WD | 70,105 Miles
Now we're going in a completely different direction.
The 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon is for the shopper who wants a serious truck. It's powered by a 6.4L Heavy Duty HEMI V8 producing 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, paired with 4WD and an eight-speed automatic.
It's currently listed at $39,149, reduced $4,850 from its original $43,999 price.
The Power Wagon gives this month's Manager Specials some serious muscle and is easily the pick of this group for someone prioritizing truck capability.
2016 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Premium
Sport Coupe | RWD | 87,117 Miles
And finally, something for the person who doesn't need an SUV or truck at all.
This Race Red 2016 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Premium is currently priced at $14,999, down $2,000 from its original $16,999 price.
Its turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder produces 310 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque, and this particular Mustang is equipped with a six-speed automatic with SelectShift. The listing also includes features such as adaptive cruise control, navigation, remote start, climate-controlled front seats, and paddle shifters.
At under $15,000 based on the current listing, this is the fun pick of the group.
