My brother in Texas and I are thinking of trading cars. I'll give him my '87 190-E 16 valve in exchange for his '93 300-E. I haven't been drivng the 190 as much as I'd like and he would really love to have a nice sports car again.

My car has about 147,000 miles on it and an idleing issue. Otherwise in good shape.

His car is in good shape- he is a Lexus mechanic and used to be a Mercedes mechanic. His car has 136,000 miles on it.

What do you all think?

I'd probably sell his car next spring.
