Red face 300CE deal looks very good.... don't repaint it

I have a 92 300CE which I love to drive and I paid $9500 for it 2 years ago. They are remarkable cars and will increase in value if taken care of. I agree with all the other members comments; don't repaint the car. If you decide to sell it the new buyer or dealer will notice the different paint job and downgrade the cars value. If you can just get used to the beige color, you will find it to be a winner in terms of driving, etc. etc.

I agree that the later 300CE's have a "better" engine and lots more power. If that matters, look for a later model that would have the higher compression engine with 24 valves.
You may pay more than the price you have on the 91 tho' ........
