The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2002-06) E320 4DR SALOON 3.2 CDI AVANTGARDE AUTO is an executive saloon aimed at buyers wanting comfort and space rather than a compact car. In the UK used market, it sits among premium family and business cars, offering an understated alternative to BMW and Audi saloons. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 2,235 look-ups across 988 VINs, a strong sample for this older model. Checks show an average private-sale value of £1,500, average recorded mileage of 143,000, and roughly 7,000 miles driven each year. Owners averaged five previous keepers, so checking each car’s history and condition is especially worthwhile. Its diesel engine and relaxed automatic driving suit long-distance commuters, business users and families needing a refined car. Avantgarde trim adds a distinctive feel, while the E-Class is known for comfort and motorway manners. It can be a value buy, but age, upkeep and history matter more than the badge.
