Changing to a new E-Class

I currently own a 2008/08 320cdi CLK Avantgarde and would like to upgrade to an E-class Coupe. I keep my cars for 2 years and cover 12k pa most town and some motorway.

I like the power of the v6 diesel but there is a premium for the 350cdi. I would like a 2010 car and have a budget of 20-25k. SE or Sport? Should I consider petrol? What do you suggest?

SE has a more comfortable ride. You'll pay more for a diesel but it will keep its value better.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
