So much for the Aston MArtin
Well, today was the day I was going to drive away in my 1700 mile Vanguish.
The salesmen tells me to take it for a spin around the block, so we proceed to test drive.......................I did not get a mile away and the transmission craps out. Craps out to the point that we had to be picked up and the car had to be towed back!!! Not only that but while I was at the dealer in complete awe.....Xico tells me that the AM suck and that he had a feeling that another would be in getting towed in. Well guess what, another AM Vanguish comes in with a blown Tranny. WTF!!!!!
This is no BS, Xico was my witness. So as I was talking to the Manager of AM and he was assuring me it was nothing. The service advisor (my personal friend) pulls up the history on the car. It had 10 service tickets on the tranny.
OK, so now what do I get???????? Mercedes CL 55 or BMW 635 any suggestions?????

do not get the cl or the 635
you will regret getting either
the 55 engines are not reliable at all
the 635 is the ugliest car ive ever seen, and it is a snail compared all the other cars you listed
either keep the turbo or get a gallardo
