Be like me; book first, tell later.

Zag, sure can negotiate one. I guess maybe 10 K less? I'm sure they will consider making less and paying less interest to their bank. On the other hand, why not wait for the next prod year model to be out? May have lotsa pleasant surprises like soft close doors which are (I heard) being slated for the M6.

kill first then summon...? hmm...

i like the soft close doors like the 7.

i recall when my S class actuator when kaput, there was a loud explosion like a bomb!
i was in front of a hotel lobby and the bellman ran away upon hearing that blast.

there after, the door stopped working.

i was shock too but i cannot do anything as i am behind the steering wheel.

went back to c&C and it cost something like 1100 bucks.

sure sure... actually getting tired on e60 interior liauw... hm! the s class look handsomer by the day... the protruded wheel arch is marvellous. the wife said "thou shalt not get an S class lest you are in the 50...!?"


book first talk later.... my version is " thou shalt not ask for persmission but for forgiveness"

Ya, I like the tail of the Black S Class with dark laminated windows. Looks really nice. Don't like the interior though. Too many buttons plus the extended dash really a turn off.

The CL class maybe? I've seen the photos. Really beats the 6 series hands down

From my experience, the Vulvas, I mean Volvos are F-A-S-T.... esp the big turbo ones with the T something..... However, with all that power, it is the chasis that let it down..... it will do straight line runs without breaking into a sweat but when the road starts to turn a little, hope the driver is sensible to slow down..... I have skidded on a STRAIGHT and DRY road on my old S70T5..... it was scary....

Vincar.... my first PI for my SLK and Edlee Jr's Golf GTI.... we are both happy customers - both pre- and post-sales..
Can anyone confirm this? Just heard from a friend who told me VinCar has started taking orders for the 335 coupe at S$206k. That's not bad a price but no details on the spec.

Heard anything?
