damn, they sellin the XJ now? How much is that compared to an S class? I don't think it will be long before the population of vehicles on our motorways start resembling that of the UK :P

^^I agree. I'm not so sure. That car is RORO....PCN plates on that model S have to be RORO.

Plus the license plat garnish/backing/whatever-you-call-it is for the UK spec cars only. Not on local ones.

SO - there is a possibility that it could be. Or again, maybe it just has some Brabus goodies (yes, you can buy individual parts such as their wheels, spoliers, bading, etc)

After seeing that XJ, if I was the PM, I would start thinking that its time to ditch the S class. We need to keep it within the Commonwealth.

XJ is quite a good looking car. Best of those pics.
I still favor the previous model though.

XJ is on another level, real baller status.

Always wondered, you guys think most of these high end cars are leased?

You'd be surprised how many are. Many are leased/bought under the owner's company name or something like that in some instances.

Not sure how it works...but the general idea I suppose is that they get away from having to pay VAT.

And by the time they're ready to sell...they pay the VAT...but by then...the car is at a reduced value.

So they get a valuation done, and then pay VAT on the lower rate.

Works out cheaper.
