At $25 000 and Above: BMW and Mercedes-Benz Lead the Selected Premium-Price Groups
November’s opening brought a larger expensive-car share. The wider offer shows how make, model year and clearance differ inside that price band.
The opening week gave expensive offers more weight
In the 1–7 November 2026 window, 442 new advertisements asked $25 000 or more, a 28.0% share. October’s matching window contained 343, or 23.9%. The upper-price segment gained both advertisements and share.
A wider reading on 9 November shows which makes offer buyers substantial choice at this price level. It also shows why the same price threshold contains quite different vehicle profiles.
The largest selected make groups
BMW had 920 advertised offers at $25 000 or more, with a $39 700 median ask and a 2022 median model year. Mercedes-Benz had 859, centred on $45 000 and 2021. Toyota followed with 697, $32 500 and 2023. Lexus had 438, $38 250 and 2023.
The median year and ask therefore vary together across makes. Toyota’s group has a newer midpoint and a lower median ask than the two largest groups, giving a buyer a different starting profile within the same broad spending band.

Clearance narrows every make
Within those groups, 406 BMW, 474 Mercedes-Benz, 268 Toyota and 191 Lexus offers were already cleared. The counts make a practical difference when the shopping budget is intended for a car already customs-cleared in Georgia.
For a specific comparison, buyers can narrow the make further to model, year and equipment, then examine the asking price alongside repair history and mileage. That sequence turns the broad price band into a shortlist of candidates.
The next groups broaden the choice
Land Rover added 217 offers with a $45 000 median ask and a 2021 median model year. Porsche added 208 at $48 000 and 2021. Audi added 181 at $39 600 and 2022.
The price-band story is consequently broader than one make or model. November’s first week raised the segment’s weight, while the current offer supplies several distinct ways to search it. All wider-offer figures use the reading date 9 November 2026.
