S class is for rear leg room

just bought a LWB one, its one car Id be as happy in the back as in the front, if not more so

I also agree with the other comments, I cant believe the rubbish rear leg room in most cars, even the "premium" ones...

Lads would you consider this Mercedes E Class luxobarge?

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/merc-e280-3-0-cdi-v6-2007-facelift/17646818

I am considering an E class around 2006 to 2008 to last me 2-3 years. What is the better model, the diesel or petrol for someone who does low miles and short runs.

What known problems should I be looking out for in both diesel and petrol models of this age?

Big Nasty · 07-01-2018 10:45AM

An E-Class isn't a Luxobarge. We're talking full size cars here, think S-Class, 7 Series, A8 and the big Toyota thing!

Nothing wrong with an E-Class though. Petrol would suit your mileage better.

I would have thought that E Class I posted a link to is equivalent to a GS300?

It is. The gs appears to qualify for some unknown reason.

Big Nasty · 07-01-2018 11:11AM

LS is the only model that could / should be considered a barge though.

An E-Class, A6, 5 Series, GS are mid size executive saloons. Doesn't take away from them in the least, they are certainly luxo in the right spec but they ain't barges.

Pics are a bit crap. Nct till next January. Tax is out though.

Truckermal · 07-01-2018 06:34PM

Apologies lads for posting the GS.....:o

ofcork · 07-01-2018 06:45PM

To my mind the gs always seem to me to be more of a barge than an e class 5er or a6 maybe just a bigger car.

@jayo26 me too Shower of fcuking arseholes.

Eric Cartman · 08-01-2018 05:24PM

I don't think a GS/e/a6/5 series is a barge, a segment d exec saloon yes, but not a barge.

That said, having turf burning e220d's and 520d's posted in here is not the way to go, however if somebody found a savage deal on an rs6, e550/e63 amg / 550i/M5 etc…. (segment D but with insane spec or massive engine) - it would be welcome here, while not in the normal remit of a barge.

we can be a little bit flexible here.

Heres Johnny · 08-01-2018 05:27PM

Thread is full of GS. I asked a while ago why they qualify and someone said they are equivalent to a high end 5 series type car and don't have a 2 litre diesel under the bonnet.
It's probably ok as there's not that many of them out there, they sold in numbers like luxobarge did. If the 5 series, e class and a6 are allowed in they will dominate the thread as there are just so many of them out there for sale, outnumber the GS 10 to 1 I'd say.

A petrol V6 and a higher standard spec (you can get a 5/a6 with cloth interior and not much else) puts them in a grey area. I personally don't mind them being here as its only occasional but sure each to their own.

Segment E no? I think D is 3-series, IS, C-class territory.

Luxurious barge it is.

Serious value imo. Short test however, if you could negotiate a test into the deal,

Take my money.

I think that E-Class, a6 and 5-er are just too common. Otherwise they would be fine here as well. A stunning XF, a 550i or A6 V8 would be fine as well
