With Mrs A opting to ditch the E240 estate for a Lexus Rx300 I find myself with 3 large cars with large boots and I think that is one too many.
Do I advance into the age of the W211 and be sensible and get a E280 or E320 diesel saloon or buy a more interesting W211? If i'm planning on doing 18k per annum diesel is logical but with fuel prices low and likely to remain so for a while the E500 appeals but will I kick myself for not considering an E55k?
I'm comfy with the pro's and con's of pre and post facelift and associated costs be that maintenance or initial purchase cost but is the air suspension usually on the E500 way better than the diesel options (or am I getting confused here) baring in mind most of my journeys are cross country,a so would an e55k be comfy or bone jarring on longer journeys?
Would appreciate folks thoughts
Thanks
