E430T 4m vs E500T 4m

Any opinions on this?
I'm driving about 700km/week mostly freeways. Have used my 250 Turbodiesel (w124) for that purpose for 2 yers now. Been extremely cheap, but I want something newer with some more equipment. Vented seats and engine heater amongst other things.
And I need a V8. Know that fuel is going to be double but I'm prepared to take it. Miss my 500E to much on everyday use. I also want a 4 matic.

Just looking around a bit..

Aren't E500 T 4m supposed to be more expensive than this? It's the cheapest one on mobile.de thought..

Compared to the above, doesn't this seem a bit expensive for a w210?

Any opinons?
I guess the 430 is cheaper to maintain.. no airmatic and such.. but I thought they would be cheaper to buy compared to a 211. So I'm a bit confused on what is most value for money..


I'll post this to the w211 guys also.

Not easy for you to know.. but 1 swedish "mil" = 10km. So the car has barely 100.000 miles on it. Nice condition though. There are a couple of 430's for sale with around 200.000 miles (looking nice though, so probably freeway miles) on them costing 5,5-6K Euro.
Also saw two E55 T 4 matics (w210) for sale on mobile right now, but then I'm into 211 price range.
Can't make up my mind. Maybe it will sink into me after some time. That 430 with 100K miles for the price of the one with 200K miles would be a good compromise :-p

Is it stupid to buy a car like this, regardless of condition, with 300k km? 7000Euro negotiable..
