This is the problem really. Its so much cash for a car that is over ten years old.... but to keep it worth its premium, it needs to be kept garaged and used sparingly as a weekend car. Yet who wants an estate as a weekend car - hence they get used daily. Dilemma...

Be better off just buying something German at that kind of money.

335d with X-Drive will just as fast as the S402 (or faster), cheaper to run/tax/insure and only 1 year old with 15k miles. But just lacks that fizz and specialness of the Subaru.
