What type of cars to buy for the limo car service industry

What type of cars to buy for a limo, car, Chauffer service… Including but not limited to list:
Important:
Before financing or leasing a car: make sure to know what type of registration will the car need to have for the regulatory agency (in California you will need a commercial registration and commercial license plate) I guess most states will require some level of commercial registration, that’s why you need to go to the right bank and dealership that allows this type of cars in their financing, changing a financing or registration paperwork on a financed car is hard to do (don’t believe the sales person that you can change it later).
New or 3-4 years old black on black leather interior or pleather (plastic leather look a like)
SUVs (4x4) if you can - they hold up value and have a stronger suspension (and gets you out of trouble if you get stuck on a hill side or muddy terrain…)
Cadillac Escalade ESV 600 (newer body style or 3 year old max)
Chevrolet Suburban (6 or 7 passenger) I like the 7 passengers one in case you drive more families than solo executives, but the captain chairs ones are cool too
Ford Expedition Extended Lenght and/or Max (I have one)
Lincoln Navigator L
GMC Yukon XL (I have one)
These are the industry standards SUVs
SEDANS:
Audi A8L
Audi A6
BMW 7series
BMW 5 series
Cadillac XTS
Cadillac CT6
Cadillac CT5
Volvo xc 90
And the large sedan (I forgot its name)
Lincoln MKT
Lincoln Continental
Lexus ls 500h
Lexus rx450h (I have one)
Mercedes S Class (I have one)
Mercedes E class
Etc… this a luxury market, stick to luxury brands (Toyotas and Hondas or economy sedans won’t do)
Crossovers: not many people favorites because they aren’t a sedan and not an suv either, but Lincolns Aviators are very acceptable (I wouldn’t recommend them as a first vehicle for a start up)

What kind of engines would recommend or specifically not choose for a chauffeur vehicle? Are diesel or 4-cylinder engines a problem? Are very big engines a problem for beginners in the industry?

@@gustavalbers3238 diesels are being perfected still on the new gm cars, 4 cylinders are not my favorite, if you get any of these have good warranty or a second car

@@gustavalbers3238 big engines 6.1 are ok but 5.3 in my opinion is best for SUVs

Is my 2017 Lincoln Continental too old?

[@gecamp77]

Not really. Keep it well maintained and spanking clean 🫡
