It is his dream & his $$. Rem that it is not an easy car to drive at that age especially in the city. I own a long car before & i knows. Even now, i m looking for a small car with big engine even though i m my physical fitness is above average. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unltd 5th Gear March 2, 2012 Share March 2, 2012 On 2/29/2012 at 10:18 PM, Yattokame said: Hi all, story is, my uncle struck 4D (quite a big amt) and he would like to pamper himself for a couple of years before he retires. He wants to use 100k for a luxury car, and the 730Li and S280 are on his list. He is unwilling to fork out more for the new models. That is also the reason some of u seen my post about servicing mercedes. typical questions 1) which is less problematic? 2) which one costs less to maintain? 3) what to look out for in each car (eg airmatic for the S class)? 4) I am guessing S280L is a long wheelbase version of the S280 so it should have significantly more space at the back? I'm clueless when it comes to such cars. Thanx :) I was gonna propose Panamera until I saw looking for 2nd hand.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A5SB 1st Gear March 2, 2012 Share March 2, 2012 I am partial towards S280. When it comes to suspension, nothing beats the luxury feel of a Merc. Once a person owned a Merc, it's quite hard for them to like another car. At least that's what I am told. Even taxi uncles who drives a Merc cab says the same thing.

Chpeck Clutched March 2, 2012 Share March 2, 2012 If you are comparing S500 and 750i, toss a coin to decide, but between S280 and 730i, it has to be the latter. In the US, the smallest 7 series is a 740i and S class a S350. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
