E90 BMW
E61 bmw
E39 bmw
Audi A6 or A4
Merc e class sport w211 facelift

Mostly I will be driving on my own but want to be able to lug stuff about, don’t want a Mondeo I know they are good but don’t like the

I'd say the E Class is the pick of the bunch:

Get the Merc.

I'm biased as I bought a cheap one as a hack to cart stuff about but I love it. Not especially frugal even as a diesel but its a lovely place to sit as the miles waft by.

Merc was my first thought, I have got a 2.7 diesel s type at the moment that’s not particularly good on fuel and have a weekend toy but will be doing most miles the hack it will be virtually all motorway miles Bedford to the I.O.W so I suppose the merc is the most logical, thanks for your advice.

C6-A6 Avant but not sure of what you'd get for that money.

Volvo V70? Great cars, and probably more to choose from than the V60 you have mentioned.

[confused_buyer]

V60 better car than V70 (feels far more modern) but not a lot of space.

An E61 in this price range is a brave choice. They tend to go wrong once they get to that level. Merc a better bet.

Truth is at this price point the "volume" stuff is far more sensible as you'll get newer and less mileage for your money - Mondeo (I know you say you don't like them but they're OK), Avensis, 508, etc.

Accord also worth looking at. Mazda 6 is OK if petrol.
