Just do it man. Life is short. It’s just money. The plan is to have fun and die with zero.

Weird never heard about it. Didn’t see it much on the forums either. The e550 was replaced with the e53 for the next gen. I miss that v8.

Apparently it was fixed with a check valve to stop drain back of oil.

This one is tempting AF, but I'm SURE its a grenade.

This is the one I'd go get.

To have a 3 car garage or CLS550 on the driveway? That is the question. These questions were easier when I was single.

Interesting option, what makes you say this?

Its at the age where owners either keep them or sell them. At that point all major maintence is done and you can pick up something decent. Its going to a case of where the owner has not maintened them or has babied them.
The only thing to watch out for is transmission issue. A buddy of mine may be selling his E class. The only major issue he had was the transmisson going just out of warrenty. It was a known issue he had found on the forums. Other than that he has loved it.
The E classes are really nice. Even better if you can get a AMG.
Have a browse at the Lexus GS series or whatever they are. The IS are nice. I find them a big tight, especially if enjoys Alberta beef and pawwk chaawp.

Im not sure why Audi S is your your list. Thats like getting a into a relationship with a divorced chick thats coming out of her Eat Pray Love phase and who was a late 2000's bar star babe (Guys, you know exactly what im talking about, don't act like you don't). Don't do it. Or get a WRX.

My lean is towards the Infinty Q50. We don't need to go into details why its good. Its been covered. But if you do a bit of work. A good maintained E-Class is on the table. I would pick that.

My life would be really short if I came home with that. About 2 seconds after showing my wife I'd be at the pearly gates, or the other gates depending on religious leanings.

YOLO it, she might like it. MY wife has stopped questioning why I have so many cars.

For OP, dont listen to these fucks, if you want something reliable, non of the German options should be on your list. Get a G37 or GS and call it a day. You can get the latest Gen GS350 for around 25k.

Looked at a 2012 S4 tonight.
Significant rust on the fenders.

Agree on the GS. It’s good value. They have more room and seem to depreciate more than the IS.
