Running costs matter mate??

If not, then an older LS400/GS300 Lexus would be a decent shout... also think about:

- BMW 7-series
- Mercedes S-Class
- Honda Legend
- Jaguar XJ
- Jaguar S-Type
- Omega Elite
- Mazda Xedos 9

They're all gonna be big, comfy and worth a look I reckon mate.


Cheers,
Grant

If he's really interested in one of these cars then a cheeky PM to Lambchop wouldn't go amiss.. he's seriously into the 'tegos and could have a contact for a minter, just the other night he was talking about getting a couple of concours minters to stick away as an investment.
