It really is not what you think....honestly!
What is it?

Are these journeys ‘one way’? frown

Riddle me this, riddle me that. I have given enough clues....its not one way!
Most of my staff are ladies, and it really is not what you think! Oh, and we make them very happy!

Will look at the CX more im depth. Any other classic suggestions?

Out of country men who leave a lot of money. Not too flash, but comfortable.

Get something "British"

Jaguar XJ
FFRR / RRS

of an appropriate age to not look too flash.

If you want to carry 5 passengers in style with easy entry you really cannot beat a Model X.

On the way to your destination you can explain to the clients how through VAT write off and soon low BIK tax rates the X, 3p per mile in fuel cost, its probablly cheaper to own than a posh transit van!!

So style, progressive, and cheap, what else do you want.

We have a full car quite alot of weekends, it really is a superb people mover, keeping everyone happy on a long trip is always a balancing act, but in the X its very very easy, people just relaxsmile.





When your moving/parked it blends in pretty well with the Germany brands, quite alot of people who haven't heard of Tesla assume its a BMW.

It willneed tocarry max 2 passangers. The short list up to now:

Jag XJ (series 3 or x350)
W126 long wheelbase
FFRR
Citroen CX Prestige (worried here about the rust and general fragility)
Citroen C6
Audi A8 (D 4)
Lexus LS 600 h (scores hybrid brownie points)

Still on the list but towards the end the XC90 and the T6/ V Klasse.
Am I overlooking anything? Any contenders for possible future or allready classic with potential value gains?

Clientele is mostly men, out of country and they leave quite a bit of money. They come from all walks of life and most have saved a long time for the service.
I do not want something over the top posh, as I do not want to produce feelings of “ all this over the top luxury is with my money”. It needs to be classy but understated and have some coolness factor to it. A lot of people regard huge SUV’s as “too much”.
The V Klasse or T6 are reasonable options, they just lack the classy part.
This makes your 'service' sound quite seedy laugh
I got the impression that he was running one of those Swiss euthanasia clnics.

So a big black estate car then... ?

If it’s a short journey what about something like a Tesla model S/Model X?

Perfect use for electricity (assuming you can fit a charger in your space) and you can then sell your business on some eco/sustainability credentials too

How will your mysterious clients feel about their conveyance breaking down en route?

Get a top of the range Skoda Superb from 2010-2013. Very affordable.
Huge area for rear passengers. Anonymous, elegant and reliable.

Do you need to be able to fit any of the prostitutes in along side the punters?

The Phaeton or an A6/S6 is a good shout, as long as it’s in black and is polished within an inch of its life when you pick them up I don’t think they’ll be all that fussed.

Whenever I’m in a taxi or the like the cleanliness and OCD nature of the interior clean impress me over a dusty (but newer) posher car

Maserati Quattoporte is quite classy. Or the Toyota Century but as you're in Switzerland probably not an option.

Skoda Superb mentioned above is a *really* good shout.

Discreet but high quality. I suggest this is why so many local mayors have them as their official car.

Suggests doing well, but not too well.

Hyundai Genesis they come loaded & for those in the back it's a very nice place to be, you also get understated looks a smooth V6 & a lot of trouble free motoring:

Audi A8

Bentley flying spur 2nd hand

A Tesla is a talking point, something different.

At the end of the day the Germans know how to do it.
