We just bought a 2000 E320 4matic Wagon with 70,000 miles a few weeks ago and were very happy with the choice. We shopped it against the Volvo as well as a BMW 3 series, which I know isn't in the same league size-wise but there just weren't any 5's available in the market. It just felt way more solid than any of the other cars we drove, and the space is unbelievable.
