I've been thinking of a Volvo V70 with the 2.4 D5 engine in the interim for the simple reason that it is a 5-cylinder diesel and makes nice noise. This thread got me thinking about the E-Class as an alternative and this afternoon I went to look at a 54 E270 Avantgarde with just under 150k miles. I have to say that it is a very nice car. Yet, in terms of rust protection around the wheelarches, it is way inferior to the 75 or indeed the 45.
Yet I may still consider it an a replacement for the Omega until I get my Sportbrake.

It is indeed a nice place to sit. Did you take a test drive? What was it like in terms of feel and noise etc.
