Question Which one would you choose?

I'm looking adding a new(er) Mercedes to my driveway.

I've found good examples of the following;

1992 500E
2002 E55
2002 C32

All of them are affordable, all with about the same kms. (100k approx)

This all started with a specific search for a 500E, so it has a slight edge in my heart.

Vintage styling (love the W124 Bruno Sacco lines), rarity, and cache.

C32, well, wow. Smaller, probably more tossable. Faster to 60 by at least a second. Newer, so more amenities, although driving a Benz is the biggest amenity to begin with.

E55, kind of a combination of the two. Fast, probably close to the C32, and the E-class is, well, class. Plus, I like the 2002 front end.

Any thoughts? :

If I'd known then what I know now...

Hell, I'd probably still have done it anyways.
