2005 CDI Car Service

I was just reading a post about Mercedes used as Taxi's in Europe. And I am going to start a black car service/ luxury car service using my black 05 E320 CDI. It now has 190k miles on it.

I got my hack license last week and started a small business with the state I got insurance. I just need a few more things to get going.

Is this a dumb idea? Will the car not hold up and I will not actually make money. I was thinking of charging lower rates in the morning than at night. Because I do not want to work to much at night.

I don't see any obvious reason it wouldn't work.

E-class diesels have been in use as Taxi's in Germany and other parts of europe for decades...they are designed to hold up.

Around here there's a sizable fleet of Jetta TDI's in use as Taxi's....if those hold up, then I'm sure a MB will.

I would just suggest calling it something besides black car service.....that may not fly with everyone, though logically it may make since....
