What MB would you recommend for:

Hi everyone. First time poster here. Looks like a great forum. Here's my question.


What MB would you recommend for:

I want a bulletproof daily driver
reliable
must be able to live outside in Atlanta
4 doors
automatic
the newer the better
the bigger engine the better
the higher class (C, E, S,, etc) the better

Those are my priorities in that order. I don't mind paying for regular maintenance, but it's the big ticket items I would like to avoid. I'm not particularly hard on my cars, but it will have to live outside. The M3 gets the garage. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I had a boss once that had one of those. I don't know what year, but it was a nice car. On autotrader there are tons of cars for under $5K. Is that really unreasonable?
