Have you considered a 93 300E / 94-95 E320 cabriolet?

I can't imagine owning a nicer car.

This and the 92-94 500E/E500 are both given 4 stars for collectability by Barrett's Illustrated Buyers Guide for Mercedes Benz.

The only downside is the price. Because of the limited numbers, used prices are still high - in the $25k-$35k range.
