So many to choose from!

I never realized that $50,000 buys you a whole lot of Mercedes'; used, obviously. I have always been into them and was curious as to which of these in this price range you would prefer. Performance isn't a total necessity, though having an AMG would be pretty sweet. Just something comfortable that has good quality, nice amenities and good reliability. Factory/extended warranty would be nice too. Here's the different models I am looking at.

E55 - always been my favorite mercedes. Something about a sedan that can fit 5 and still run 12's is intriguing.

SL500 - Stunning looks, the interior doesn't blow me away for being as pricey as it is. Convertible is a plus.

CL55 - Just as badass as the E55. Coupe lines are really nice.

CLS500 - Newest and probably has the most recent luxury features/technology etc. I think the lines on the car are great.

S55 - Same 5.5 Kompressor, plethora of features/luxury, though a bit bigger and I'm not sure I would need the extra room.


All of these cars are nice for different reasons, so I will ask you, which of the former would you choose and why?
