I have a 1989 300SE, in good shape overall, with 126K on it. Today, for the hell of it, I test drove a 2000 S430, W220. Very nice car in terms of handling and the like. Being an old-fashioned sort, I still prefer the stately 126 styling, but I wonder if I would be wise to trade up to the W220. Anyone with experience with both models, your views would be most appreciated.
