I currently own a S Type Jaguar (2000 model year), which is a great machine that has very unique and distinctive looks and loads of road presence, specially where I live most of the time (outside the Colombo).
However, I have been thinking of trading my Jag to one of the following models.
1. BMW E38 - 740iL preferably (1998-2001) - used to be a dream car for me and still is to some extent,very rare to find.
2. BMW E39 - 525i, 530i preferably (2001-2003) - not sure if this will be a downgrade from my S type Jag in terms of looks, sheer road presence and power.
3. BMW E60 5 Series - (2003-2006) - Nice car, not many on classifieds like the F10 5 Series
4. Jaguar XJ (X350) - (2003-2007) - The big brother to my S Type. Amazing looks, expensive and very rare.
5. Audi A6 (C5) - (2000 - 2003) - also, not sure if this will be a downgrade from my S type Jag in terms of looks, sheer road presence and power.
6. Merc W211 E Class ( 2002 - 2005) - Looks elegant, may not be a bang for the buck due to high demand for Mercs in SL
Since I am used to fuel consumption, parts availability and maintenance cost of premium euro's, I humbly request from you to guide on on,
1. What kind of improvements that each model will offer in comparison to my S Type Jag ?
2. Can you point out a mint condition E38 (long wheel base LCI), E39, E60, XJ - X350 that is intended for trade / sale ?
I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.
The first Rolls Royce Spectre goes to drum roll please...... Ukraine! And a Minister as well. Supposedly $600,000/-, reminds me of another country where the story is the same where people suffer and the politicians enjoy themselves.
So these unregistered 2017ish cars rotting in car sales, better than a used or worse?
Need shitbox car asap. Budget is 6.5mil
utter reliable no nonsense car needed. Nice to drive is welcome. Something new ish.
few alto and every vans in my budget, should I? Tires and rubber bits scare me.

Well okay, I kinda see you point. And to be honest, I think I agree with you when it comes to the XJ. It's pretty exclusive and I think its more likely an enthusiast would own that. As for the r
