Cool Which one should I sell?

I need to sell one of my cars.

Car 1: 1980 300SD Turbodiesel - 114,000 miles
Car 2: 1982 240D - 220,000 miles
Car 3: 1989 560SEL - 151,000 miles

Car 2 - No rust, just had new time chain and guides installed & valves done. Everything works.

Car 1 - No rust, needs front leather, a/c heat dead, all else works

Car 3 - 1 spot of just bout the size of a dime. Just had all new fluids put in, new bushings, a/c redone, cruise not working. Timing chain needs to be done.

Which one should I sell? I'm so confused.

It would seem obvious these days to be rid of the car with the big V8.

I'd sell the SD...poor seats, no heat or AC...seems like its in worse condish than the SEL. The SEL would be second on my list to sell, but it might be difficult due to fuel economy concerns, etc.

I'd hang onto the w116 and fix it up ... rare and beautiful.

Drive the w123 daily and enjoy its economical operation.

Give das boot the boot.
