Deejay Vybz Kartel made the talk of the town this week as he profiled his brand new 2010 S-Class Mercedes-Benz estimated to value over $12 million.

THE WEEKEND STAR visited the deejay recently in Kingston where he showcased his new ride. He was unwilling to disclose the amount he paid
for the vehicle; however, several websites checked by THE WEEKEND STAR
estimated the vehicle to be worth more than J$12 million. The
Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a series of large luxury sedans produced by
Mercedes-Benz, a German manufacturer of cars, buses, coaches and trucks.

The deejay, who got the Benz on Monday from Carland on Old Hope Road, disclosed to THE WEEKEND STAR that the vehicle is a dream to drive. When
asked why he bought this particular car, Kartel said, “yuh know is a
X6 (BMW) mi buy

meaning dis a di top, top Benz.”

He added, “It do everything except fly, the body can raise, it just have the whole driving experience, is like yuh a drive pon air.”
