Which one to keep

1989 300E, 117,000 miles, lowered w/H&R, K&N, Tornado, Performance Muffler, good condition without immediate attention but $2000 worth of repair work is expected (engine mount, transmition leak, differential mount, A/C leak, front struts, rear shocks); more nimbe and responsive, cheaper to maintain and insure; can only get some money by selling it.

1990 560 sec, 43,000 miles, all stock, no awared problem yet, cost more to run and insure; no way to get a cleaner one without paying a good fortune, hate to see it go; still can get some good money by selling it. solid cruise performer, rare and rare to get.

I know these two are total different cars, just try to get some opinion before making decision

personally I'd keep the SEC especially with the low mileage, but then again I am more partial to coupes.

What would make you favor one over the other? In other words what is your agenda?

Is that even a question? That's like who's smarter, Bruins or Trojans. Keep the SEC.

Keep the 560 SEC!!! With the money you get from the 300E, you can tune your 560 SEC
