Buying a used, cheap luxury car
I have a choice between a used Cadillac CTS and a used Mercedes-Benz S-Class - not sure whice is the best car of the 2. Both priced are around £4000, both luxury cars, fully loaded. I'm retired looking for a comfortable and reliable car. The 2001 S-Class has 86,000 miles and the 2006 Cadillac has 68,000.
