My turn at last...
Discussion
To receive the highly lauded ZX10R NIN guidance. Other posters are welcome too!
Buying next month to capitalise on slow sales.
Budget: 25-29k
Spec: larger saloon, e class size. 5000 miles a year so petrol preferred but happy to take a punt on a diesel. Auto essential. Not fussy at all about spec but must be a 2018 / late 2017 car, sub 15k miles. Ideally with a reverse camera.
Obvious options are E/5er/A6/GS
Smaller saloon not out of scope if it means it’s a bit more special. SUV/hatch can be ok. Estates definite no.

When I bought my e class (late ‘17) there were two eclass petrol models available, the e43 or e63. Very PH but not great for your requirements. When I looked petrols were few and far between so you will struggle to get a Merc eclass/5 series/A6 petrol that fits your budget. Almost everything out there is diesel. Good luck!
It’s gotten a little better in terms of petrol I’d say, a6 has a fair few 2018 petrol, 5er also, still massively diesel however. E class is still totally diesel in the used market apart from fast models as you say. Thanks for the luck! andyalan10 said:
Petrol, check; automatic, check; reversing camera, check; SUV, check.
Got to be a Mitsubishi Outlander I think. 5000 miles probably all on elctrickery if you are careful.
I know, I've got a sick sense of humour.
Don't you like the Jag then?

Nope I’m not loving Jag at the moment so thanks but no thanks to the well intended suggestions above.
Infiniti is interesting as is S90 for sure.
ZX10R NIN, this was everything I hoped for, and more. I will return to hassle you again in approximately 5 years time.

Err, no, we’d really like to know what you buy!I might drive it ZX10R NINs house for an official unveiling and photographs
Hello all. Just closing out the thread with an update.
Went for a 2018 530d SE in the end, base spec but for metallic and reverse cam. I will use it to commute 35 each way a day or two a month to give it a chance to regenerate properly.
In a sea of 4 cylinders, my head was turned by the silky smooth straight 6!

Nice. I had a 2017 530D as a courtesy car and very much liked it, especially how all the switch gear was at eye level - reminded me of SAAB.Went for a 2018 530d SE in the end, base spec but for metallic and reverse cam.
