The recently risen-to-fame Telugu and Hindi movie actress Shalini Pandey has bought herself a “new” used luxury car. Recently, the actress was spotted in Mumbai with her used Jaguar F-Pace R Sport SUV. The Arjun Reddy actress, prior to buying this Jaguar, used to be driven around in her trusty Renault Captur SUV. She has now joined the list of several popular celebrities who own used cars.
The video showing Shalini Pandey with her “new” used Jaguar F-Pace luxury SUV has been shared on YouTube by Cars For You on their channel. It starts off with the actress and her friend arriving at a restaurant in Andheri, Mumbai. She quickly got out of her SUV, posed for the paparazzi to take her pictures, and then went inside the restaurant.
Shalini Pandey’s “new” used Jaguar F-Pace
As mentioned, Shalini Pandey has bought this particular Jaguar F-Pace from the used car market. It can be noted that it is finished in a classy shade of white, and it appears to be the latest generation model. She has chosen the more exclusive R Sport variant. When it was sold in India, it was priced at ₹1.51 crore.
However, most likely, the actress has not paid this price. The exact price paid by Shalini Pandey is currently unknown. The Jaguar F-Pace R Sport variant comes equipped with a powerful 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine, which produces 296 bhp of maximum power and a whopping 700 Nm of torque. Transmission duties are handled by an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
Shalini Pandey's Renault Captur
Prior to upgrading to the used Jaguar F-Pace R Sport, the actress used to be driven around in a Renault Captur SUV. This SUV served as the flagship SUV from the brand but has since been discontinued. When it was on sale, its top-of-the-line variant was priced at ₹15.78 lakh. It came with both a 1.5-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine.
Tripti Dimri also bought herself a used Range Rover
Apart from Shalini Pandey, the Animal fame actress Tripti Dimri also upgraded from her Renault Duster mid-size SUV to a full-size Range Rover Sport from the previous generation. The actress has been spotted in this SUV on multiple occasions, and it is finished in a shade of satin black. Now, whether it is a factory paint job or has been wrapped is unknown. Her SUV comes equipped with a 3.0-litre V6 engine, which makes 255 bhp.
Why do celebrities buy used cars?
Even though celebrities earn in crores, there are still a lot of them who prefer to buy luxury cars from the used car market. The rationale behind this is that most of these luxury cars lose a significant amount of their value in the first couple of years. And as the owners of these cars maintain them very meticulously, they provide a very good value proposition.
As a result, some celebrities, instead of taking the hit of depreciation, opt for used luxury cars. The list of celebrities who own used cars includes names like Shilpa Shetty, who owns a few cars, including a Range Rover Vogue, a Bentley Flying Spur, and others. Popular cricketers Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh also own used Bentleys and Lamborghinis. Additionally, there are a few more, like Boman Irani and Bollywood rapper Badshah, who own used luxury cars.
