I'm going with either the Audi 8 or the Lexus GS F. Both moderately priced at slightly less than 100K fully loaded
But I figured I'd get the average Joe's opinion on the choice
thoughts?
No venomous hate please.
See if you can upgrade to the Mercedes S550
I thought that was the ultimate luxury vehicle.
The women I drove all loved it.
That's a Babe Magnet if I ever saw one.
A friend of mine had one which was approaching 10 years old (he bought used when it was two years old). It was only worth $10,000 and needed $20,000 in repairs. He had already put in some $20,000 plus over eight years in addition to the payments and regular stuff that gets used up.
They are just money pits.
...Is that all?
He gotta deal man, considering.
I think the Limo owner/company I drove for paid something like $200 000 Canadian or $150000 USD brand new for the S550 model. With all the bells and whistles included, sun roof, stereo, wifi TV etc.
I think it was a special edition made longer for Limousine driving.
If yer in that biz, can't really be 2nd hand, has ta be brand new, eh?
because that's what the clients expect if they pay $200 a ride.
especially if they drive VIPS, etc.
I think the only way an Average Joe could pay those things off is to drive high end clients every single day.
So that's takes connections to find those kinda clients.
Pandemic isn't the best time to be in that business or consider starting a limo business tho.
