A W211 has everything. Arguably best Mercedes ever made. Owned one for several years and had to lose it when I had the kids
It’s beautiful, fairly roomy, and FAST and LOUD. Blow the doors off most Corvettes.
Also, here’s the kicker, it’s reliable. Yes. Replace the air suspension with coils (which most already have it done) and you’re good to go. It really is a great car and one day I will get another. Probably not a W211 E55 because they will be collectible and expensive but right now you can find a nice one for around 20-25 grand. One with lower miles and proper maintenance. It’s a fully aspirated V8 power house that you can also go get groceries with
