'08 CL600 with 152k km; '01 E430 4Matic with 433k km; '17 Porsche Cayenne with 130k km
I'm looking into a W220 or W463 G55...this depends on how good the write-off will be for the G-wagon. I'll be leasing, so I will find out which one will have more write-off benefit. I love my W210...it has served me very well...I love getting on the road for thousands of miles and not having to do anything but put gas in it...this is how driving should be. I don't plan on trading it in, either...it'll stay in the Benz family for years to come.

I'm driving my E320 into the ground. It's a 97 E320 with 130k miles. Head gasket, cats and transmission will go any day now.
The day it dies I'm taking a cab to the Lexus dealer. That day can't come soon enough for me...

All I could tell you is that if you change to the W211, you'll probably regret. I happily pass my 04 E320 to my wife, since my W210 is more fun (to me) to drive, especially w/ the ECU & suspension & wheel upgrade. And the W210 dash layout allow me to put a bunch of electronic upgrade to it 
Now that with the kid, my communite is double (OC-MontereyPark-WestLA and back), 150+ mile everyday, if the car is running well (and so far it has, just as the day I bought it 5 years ago, if not better), I hope I could keep it for a long time & putting couple hundred K mile into it.
I've gone through BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes, and the W210 is my favorite, especially if you spend some money to upgrade it.

and still runs like a champand like craig. I don't have any immediate plans of replacing it with anything else coz the W210 is a better ride than the W211.
Hey if I can find a 99 5.5 AMG V8 at a good price I might throw it onto my baby soon

I'll keep mine until MB goes retro and bring this body style back. I'm not a car person. This is the only car that grabs my attention. 2001 w210 w/ 65k miles

i know., i didn't plan on having the project take so long but had no choice......the car was sold within days after me getting it back, it was a tough choice and this is......the day i have to give her away is coming near and it'll be a sad day for me but oh well.......i can't get into thr price because the new buyer wants to keep it private.....let's just say i'm not making any money on it....

i got my 97 E420 a few months ago, we'll see how long she lasts. I'd like to keep her for at least 5 yrs. I really have changed a lot in the last few yrs, i was so much more into cars, modifying, big alloys, stickshift & track days but nowadays i'm nowhere nearly enthusiastic. i just want a stylish, comfy luxo cruiser to get to work.
After this benz, i'm not sure.. 2002 W210 E430 or E55, 2001 BMW 740iL (E38), 2001 BMW M5 (E39), or 2003 W220 S500 sport.

2000 E430 sport
I hope my e430 last til my boys are not able to sit in a booster seat. Considering #2 is due in Feb. it is going to be a while. As ProV1, I was a car enthusiast at Heart. Before my Wife -Fiance' at the time- became pregnant, her tonsilectomy, wedding, honeymoon, and that clear piece of carbon on her hand, I had a 2000 BMW 328 CI, Porsche Boxster (I miss you) and G35 6mt coupe. Now, my focus is on big and safe, get me to daycare and work.
Funny how things change! I went with the W210 due to $$ and meeting all of my needs and actually talking to and knowing owners. Great indie shop near also, from what I have heard. No need to use yet.
As of now, next car??..........
If I go sporty (my heart talking) I really like the new BMW 335 coupe-
Hey, I said when my boys are out of the booster seat!
or Infiniti G35.
If I go same route now, and I know I am going to hear about it.......
Lexus es350.
I have enjoyed this thread alot due to the fact, no matter what vehicle we get, what we get next is immediatly on our mind. And I have often thought "what next". -except with the Porsche!-
You guys / gals have a great Christmas!
