Which luxury car could I buy for £15,000?

Would appreciate some comment and guidance as to how best to spend up to £15,000 on a second-hand 'luxury' saloon. I only travel around 6000 miles annually, mostly short journeys with occasional 200 - 300 mile trips. Cars like the S-Type Jaguar and E-Class Mercedes-Benz spring to my mind, but what springs to yours? I'm looking for something that will be reliable if well maintained.

You will actually get a Jaguar XF 3.0 V6 Luxury or Premium Luxury for £15,000 with the petrol engine, but not the diesel version.
