So, I haven't been around much, and that's because I've been studying for, taking, and passing the New York State bar exam, and I've been doing most of that from China. The reason I'm in China is because I'm taking part in the acquisition of a portion of a German medical implants company. By the middle of next month, I'll be a managing director, and, perhaps, CEO. I'm pretty sure I'll be the only full-time employee for a while (aside from the other managers), so don't be too impressed. A little impressed is fine, though.
Now that the explanation for the absence is done, I must explain the thread's title. I'm going to be living in Berlin off and on over the next year at least, which means I'm apartment hunting. And since I'm going to be traveling around and out of Berlin, I'm going to need wheels. Or, more accurately, the company's going to need wheels. And so, I turn to you, NICO: I need help, from at least some of you.
First, the Germans. I know we've had a few American servicemen members stationed in Germany, and we must have some German members, as well. Can anybody point me towards a decent website (à la Autotrader) or, failing that, a reputable, trustworthy used car dealership? And, perhaps, a website for apartment hunting?
Second, the Jesda. What the hell should I buy? I need something reliable (it'll be my daily), comfortable (and big enough to seat a few adults occasionally), but not so big as to be unwieldy in Berlin. And on a budget of €8000-10000. Please, point the power of the pants this way and help a brother out.
Of course, I welcome the comments of anybody who's not a German or a Jesda. I just needed an eye-grabbing title.
