The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2006-09) E500 4DR SALOON 5.5 AVANTGARDE AUTO is a large, four-door executive saloon, sitting above ordinary family cars in the UK used-car market. Its discreet styling and spacious cabin suit buyers wanting comfort and presence rather than a small, economical runabout. The Avantgarde trim gives it a smart, well-equipped feel, while the automatic gearbox makes town and motorway driving straightforward. Among the six mycarcheck.com checks, all recorded different VINs, so the sample is small but covers six individual cars. Their average recorded mileage was 87,000, with around 6,000 miles driven yearly and three previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £3,500, a useful guide rather than a guaranteed current price. Best for drivers and families seeking comfort and performance, it needs a premium-car running-cost budget. More luxurious than mainstream saloons, it rivals BMW 5 Series and Audi A6. Check history and condition carefully first before buying.
