All I'm saying is he's not your "typical" Lexus or BMW owner and at least drives the cars he slams.... I enjoy reading your informative posts and feel once you've been here a while longer you will get to know him more. This may or may not be to your liking, but at least you'll and see where he's coming from......Just felt I needed to say something...

Guilty! But extenuating circumstances. I still think of myself as an MB person, I just don't have one at the moment. When I return to NZ I will buy another one, which model depends on how well things go here!

The DeVille is a very nice car, ideal for what I want to do, also excellent value for money if you buy it 12 months old, but I'll try not to preach.
