Hello!

I wanted to ask those in know what you would get if you were me.
Whatever I buy, its being taken to Spain to live. Usage there will be "normal", mostly local with the odd longer drive. However, I am well used to foibles of diesels and short journey and I make sure they get a decent hot fast run regularly.
Any car will be 2011 ish with high mileage, over 100,000 miles when I purchase. I am not scared of high miles-looking at these that are available in Spain, they all have 200-300,00 kms, so 140-150,000 miles is ok with me.
Also I am now not driving like Nigel Mansell-more interested in longevity and ease of maintenance than speed.

So, E class estates, either 211 or 212....220/250 CDi, E200/250 CGi petrol or the 3.0 V6?

(I am also considering BMW F11 touring, but thats for the BMW section)
Thanks all!
