    It makes sense to have a nice taxi. If ever I need a taxi when they're not too busy I always wait and flag a nice car like a Merc or a BMW, even Passats. Always let the Toyotas, Nissans and Fords etc pass mr by

    You can pick up an S320 for about 10grand, tax is only 250quid for a taxi too, but insurance would be fairly high considering how long you have been doing it?

    The S320's are very popular as taxis in Dublin.

    I suppose some Taxi drivers who have bought a Merc Vito would argue their vehicle cost just as much as a 5 series or S320!

    about 20 years ago, I saw outside a Dart station, a Rolls Royce Silver Spirit taxi so maybe someone might have a picture of it, definitely had a taxi plate on the roof.

    A Q7? Wow.
    It's entirely possible that the person had bought it last year and was then let go from their job. They could have reckoned that the only way to pay it off was to get a taxi plate and earn some money that way!

    In before the thread is locked for digging up old threads :pac:
