Widely regarded as one of the finest cars on the planet in its day, Mercedes’ previous S-Class is becoming a used bargain. A £10,000 budget buys
a desirable 2005 S320 CDI diesel – a model that cost in excess of £50,000 when it left the showroom! Just bear in mind that, while it’s cheap to buy, running costs, parts and servicing prices will still be steep.
