Why did the masochist love his 10-year old E550? Because it felt so good after the pain in his wallet from the cost of repairs stopped. To me, it's a no-brainer. The XE has newer and better technology, is way more fun to drive, and has a warranty. A 10-year old MBZ is a money pit.
The opposing argument is that the XE will cost more because its depreciation and insurance will exceed the cost of the fully-depreciated E550's repairs, maintenance and insurance. And, of course, it's a Mercedes. I'd still go for the XE.
You asked the question, but I think you already knew the answer.
