2007 top luxury SUV

If you're looking for a new luxury SUV without paying new prices, you've come to the right place. We've spent hours combing AutoTrader.com to find "half price" pre-owned luxury SUVs. These are vehicles that offer all the amenities of a new model for half their original value. Each of our selections also features a certified pre-owned warranty backed by the manufacturer, providing peace of mind to shoppers who may be reluctant to buy a used car.

2008 Acura RDX

With used pricing starting around , 000 for a certified pre-owned example, Acura's compact RDX is surprisingly available. That's half its new retail price of up to $38, 000 after destination-an impressive deal considering the popularity of the compact luxury SUV segment, which continues to add new contenders as sales shoot up. The RDX's modern styling and responsive 240-horsepower engine are major assets, but the SUV's biggest selling point is Acura's warranty, which is among the best in the business. While bumper-to-bumper coverage is only available for 12 months or 12, 000 miles, the automaker's certified pre-owned warranty covers the SUV's powertrain for seven years or 100, 000 miles-a major commitment that gives owners long-term peace of mind.

2008 Buick Enclave

A certified pre-owned example of Buick's luxurious Enclave is a steal on the used market thanks to advertised prices that start as low as $18, 000-well under half the SUV's original list price just four years ago. Although the SUV has lost a large portion of its value, it retains an up-to-date design that's been tweaked only slightly since its debut. Best of all, the 2008 Enclave offers a highly praised engine in General Motors' technologically advanced 3.6-liter V6, which produces 275 horsepower in the SUV. There's also long list of standard features, including alloy wheels, power front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control and GM's OnStar telematics system.

2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450

There are many factors compelling buyers to purchase Mercedes' large GL450 SUV, one of the top reasons is that its distinctive styling has remained virtually the same since its debut for the 2007 model year. So, for most car shoppers, the only difference between a brand-new model and a certified pre-owned example will be found on the SUV's odometer-and, of course, in its price. Indeed, nearly a dozen 2007 GL450 SUVs are currently on AutoTrader.com with a certified pre-owned warranty, all priced under $27, 000. That's almost exactly half of their original base price. Not bad for an SUV that not only features contemporary styling but also a host of luxury equipment and an athletic 335-horsepower 4.7-liter V8 mated to a miserly seven-speed automatic transmission.
