Recommendations for a luxury car

verntern

Coming up to 68 years old. Grown up children have left home. I fancy one more change of car before eyesight and old age ends my motoring.
I have always wanted a luxury car. Leather seats, comfort, automatic, every facility at the touch of a button.
Fuel costs are not a problem. I do less than 50 miles a week. Mercedes or BMW are good for me. Secondhand. A model that has the most depreciation. I have about 15k to spend. Your views appreciated.

A Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag of some description?

I'd be tempted to get a BMW 760iL or something equally nutty if you're not concerned about fuel costs though

Test a new generation XJ6 or XJ8 and be very pleasantly surprised.

Audi A8.....

All out of his price range with only 15k, not a lot for an upmarket car.

Ab out all you will get for that is something similar to a Focus style.

He wants a secondhand model with the most depreciation so that he can get as much car for his £15k.

£15K will buy you a new model Mercedes C Class...

OR a decent 3 series

OR a decent 5 series

All of these will have reasonable running costs.

Joking no not at all the OP said he wanted an a luxury car with all the bells but he did not state new or used so I based my answer on new which I stand by 15k will only get you a basic new car with very little add-ons.

Now if he wants a used car that is a different matter as a search of ebay motors will throw up plenty of luxury motors for 15k

Even if

(a) the O/P didnt state it in his original post
(b) it hasnt now been highlighted to you in big letters

I'd say it was VERY obvious he meant used.
