According to the latest analysis held by HPI, the expert on vehicle information, Porsche buyers and owners are those to spend the most when it comes to equipping their cars with optional extras. For instance, those who order a new Cayenne pay additionally, on average, £10,000 on factory fitted options.
This amount of money is enough to buy a brand new Dacia Duster, which is one of the cheapest SUVs currently on the market, and not to mention a luxury but used car, which one can find at places such as Sandles Car Supermarket. However, some of the extras can raise the value of the car, when the customer decides to resell it.
The second place, after Porsche buyers, come those who use their money for BMW X5. Compared to the first group, this one spends on average £8,000 on extras. The third place comes for the buyers of Mercedes-Benz SLK, who usually give additionally £6,290 on the top of the base price.
