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.
