I'm in the market for a 4dr. The old Volvo 945 went to the daughter upon her college graduation so that's gone, wife's got the 560SL and I have the F150. No vehicle appropriate to haul guests about.

So I wouldn't mind an S class but they are a bit out of my current price range (did see a '90 560SEL but it is a bit rough). Have also seen some nice clean E320's ('99 & '00) with about 140k on them and a C230 Sport with 89k.

I would be thankful for any words of wisdom concerning these models or others I haven't mentioned but should know about.

Any suggestions?
