Need to buy saloon/suv ASAP which one?

S600 L all the way.
The RR is not as comfortable in the rear seats, plus it is more of a bench back there than comfy seats with adjustments like the 600; they also don't have as much room as you would think. To be honest, and I know I will get shit for this, but I think that the Lexus LX570 has a smoother ride than the RR. I have spent a lot of time in both and driving both cars, and I hate to say it but the lex is smoother and MUCH quieter. I would get an RR over the lex anyways, but just pointing that out.
As far as the QP, I have never been in the executive edition, but I have found them to be hard suspension wise, and the seats, while trimmed in gorgeous leather, seem firm. The QP is more of a family sports saloon, something to throw the kids in the back. It is a prettier car than the s600,but not as lux.
S600 is quieter, and it is just as fast as a QP (if not faster), it has much more room, and is classy.
I don't know the type of work you do, but if I was your client and you picked me up in a zonda, or better yet, let me drive the zonda while in town, I would definitely pick your bid!

Africa = Mercedes Benz, therefore S600.
Its much more recognized and respected.
If you really need a 4x4, GL550 or R500.
Maserati in Africa- wtf??!!
I bet you can count on your hands and toes the amount there is on the whole continent.
Oh, btw, all S600's are Long wheel base.

Thanks again for all your input. I found these two examples. Will have a look at them in person in due course. They're even exactly the same price

Just look at how many pages of Ferrari's are for sale despite our ridiculous prices. (divide by 7.3 to get US dollar)

it has to be the s600... you say that the employee doesn't really look after the cars very well. This makes me think that he might not be a gear head and if so he wouldn't appreciate the qp. it's smaller, noiser, less comfortable less reliable and worse in every OBVIOUS way than the S600. the qp only makes sense to somebody with petrol in their veins. outside of teamspeed most people don't get it. he might not even be grateful.
can't go wrong with merc.
i think you mentioned the RR also, i take it this is a joke to see if we are all paying attention.
