Need some collective wisdom here. I want to thin out my herds and need to pick one. I have identified the 190D or the 300SDL. Both are mechanically sound and had been driven up and down California many times.

190D is a 5sp so it is quite rare. Everything works.
300SDL need A/C and ball joints work. Not an issue if I decide to keep it. It has reclining back seat.

Which one shall I pick? Any input is welcome.
