The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (1995-02) E240 5DR ESTATE 2.4 V6 CLASSIC TIP AUTO is a family estate and a practical alternative to an executive saloon, with room for luggage and everyday jobs. In the UK used-car market, it sits above ordinary family estates for comfort and refinement, though age means condition matters. Mycarcheck.com has recorded just two look-ups, covering one VIN, so these figures are a small snapshot rather than a reliable market-wide guide. The sampled car averaged 152,000 miles, 1,000 miles a year and four previous keepers; its average private-sale valuation was £400. Inspect service history and condition carefully before purchase. Its V6 petrol engine and automatic gearbox aim for smooth, relaxed progress, while the estate suits family holidays, hobbies and bulky loads. It best suits buyers seeking space and Mercedes comfort rather than low running costs or safety equipment. Against BMW 5 Series estates, it is a practical, comfort-focused alternative.
