As an exclusive, super-luxury brand selling fewer than 5,000 cars per year in the entire world, it’s understandable that used Rolls-Royce cars are thin on the ground in the USA. New Rolls-Royce models start well beyond $300,000 and its legacy of craftsmanship has endeared its mostly hand-finished cars to connoisseurs across the globe ever since the first Roller was built in 1904. Finding a cheap Rolls-Royce second-hand is unlikely because even though depreciation affects the value of new, eventually values stabilize and increase again as these rare cars acquire classic status.
The cheapest used Rolls-Royce models do occasionally dip to $10,000 but these are perhaps relatively unpopular ’70s and ’80s cars. And maintaining a 50-year-old car comes with its own caveats, even if prices are low. If you want to buy a Rolls-Royce near you second-hand, you’ll find the pickings slim - it won’t just be on a street corner near you. It’s best to track down and buy Rolls-Royce cars online - and we can help.
Just because there are so few Rolls-Royce used cars to buy out there, shopping for one online does not mean you simply buy the vehicle sight unseen. Instead, this is where your research is done and where you track down cars to shortlist for a test drive. Your first port of call if you’re after a recent model is CarBuzz’s detailed Rolls-Royce reviews, where you can read everything about these cars and see what BuzzScore ratings we give them. Finding a Rolls-Royce near you is a tougher task, but have a look at our used-cars search page and see if you can find one by setting the search radius to a low value. Your preferred Rolls-Royce will probably be a very specific car if you know your Rollers. So you’ll likely have to shop nationwide and travel to the state where the car is advertised to view it.
You won’t see Rolls-Royce featured on reliability surveys because they sell in such small numbers. However, any safety recall information must be made public and you can find this on the NHTSA’s website. Make sure that all recall work was carried out. You’ll find recall information from way back, for example, the 1977 Silver Shadow sedan was recalled four times for issues with brake lines, the steering system, and the cruise control. More recently, the 2006 Phantom had problems with failing brake-vacuum pumps and rear shock absorbers. The 2019 Cullinan sports utility vehicle was recalled for problems with its backup camera and brake lights. It’s very important to take a Rolls-Royce expert or mechanic along to check out any old model with you, especially if it’s a classic model - and especially because you might be going to significant trouble and traveling a great distance to see the car anyway. Once does not take chances with used Rolls-Royce cars. It goes without saying that you should shop elsewhere if a vehicle does not have a vehicle and service history.
