The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2002-06) E240 4DR SALOON 2.6I V6 CLASSIC AUTO is a large, four-door executive saloon, aimed at buyers wanting comfort and space rather than a small city car. In the UK used market, it sits among established premium family cars, rivaling models such as the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 21 look-ups covering 16 distinct VINs, a useful but modest snapshot of cars checked. The sample shows an average private-sale value of £1,000, average recorded mileage of 85,000 and annual mileage of 3,000.

With its smooth V6, automatic transmission and comfortable, refined feel, the E240 suits families, commuters and drivers seeking an easy-going long-distance car. Classic trim, a roomy cabin and substantial presence distinguish it from mainstream saloons. Age-related upkeep merits attention, but a cared-for example offers comfort and understated prestige.
