I'm not a BMW fan myself, but see why people like them. Congratulations on scoring a "twofer" deal for you and your dad. Are you going to pop up some pictures?

I suspect you will get a "duck, dodge and weave" response. Reaction to your cleaning agents perhaps?

Bought this yesterday: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2018-mercedes-benz-cls450-auto-4matic/OAG-AD-17402365/?Cr=0 Traded in Moby Dick (ML500) after 5 faultless years of service - but I really didn't need a big SUV anymore (if ever )

Try and see if you can afford the turbo'd 5.5l V8, and AWD - but I suspect the latter might still be in the depreciation curve above where you want to pay... Pre-2010/2011 6.2l V8 cars, like the C63's had potential head bolt failures - so if looking at one of those check the head bolts have been replaced (otherwise put a bucketload of money aside to do them). the 5.5l engine is legandary - so I'd say go for one. :-)

Yep. A colleague here got his hands on a 2005 AMG CLS55 - and in a wek had the airsuspension crap out due to a compressor failure... Then a month later due to the front struts losing air (the car had apparenrtly sat for 4-5 years and not been run). It wasn't cheap for him to fix. -

So what did your VAG man actually end up replacing? -
What's the damage going to be for all that?
