    This one is even better, it only accepts Crypto, no FIATs

    https://www.classicparade.com/

    We are a cryptocurrency-exclusive business, accepting payments in Bitcoin and Ethereum. We currently do not accept payments in fiat currencies.

    Original Model S was very unreliable. In the UK, it seems the Model 3 is about as reliable as a premium German car, so quite unreliable.

Am thinking S-Class (old school one) but never driven one. The Mondeo Estate is a comfy beast, but not sure it cuts the right image...

    Then what to folks drive for fun? I have a 911 (C4 from 1998) which is pretty cool but only use it once a week if that... can you combine comfort and fun? Not a car I'd travel to a client in.
    My penny's worth. Against my advice, friend bought a s/h S class. Yes a nice car but he had a bill for not less than £1k per visit to the garage. One major issues is a small plastic dowel on the auto gear selector jams and Merc charges £1200 to replace it. I have seen s-class' breakdown for the same reason, the AA man frantically hitting the gear selector with a hammer to snap the dowel (that is the correct way to do it BTW)
