The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2006-09) E350 4DR SALOON 3.5 V6 CGI AVANTGARDE AUTO is a four-door petrol saloon aimed at buyers seeking more space and refinement than a family car. In the UK, it sits in the executive class alongside the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 of its era. Its smooth V6 and automatic suit motorway journeys, business travel and family duties. Its spacious cabin and useful boot make long trips comfortable, while strong performance helps with overtaking. Fuel costs will usually exceed those of smaller saloons, so it is best viewed as a refined cruiser, not a budget commuter. mycarcheck.com recorded only five checks across two VINs, so figures from this sample are indicative, not a broad market picture: average private-sale value is £2,700, mileage 87,000, annual use 3,000 miles and previous keepers 3.2. Low annual mileage may appeal, but check each car’s history, condition and servicing before buying.
