Mercedes will most prob. be his "ultimate retirement car".
He was actually looking into the SL but they were asking him 30k on top of his trade in. He doesn't wanna spend again soo much on a car to keep it only a couple years.

The jaguar he doesn't like anymore cos of the "cheap" little x type which to him brought down the prestige of the house.
Yeah, I wouldn't a Jag with a 10 ft pole anymore. Of course I have never really been a fan.

Benzs are nice, but most are kinda stodgie looking. Meh.

Naw. There it doesn't work like here. The dealership at BWM would only give him 43k for his car. In the end he thought that was un acceptable so he kept the car. Now he traded it in at the Porsche dealershp who offered him closer to $52k
