if i had to sell one of my cars, which one would i sell out of:
the W202 -C220
the W210 -E320 ?
the selling price is about the same and obviously the w210 is a better car but i just loooove my W202!!! obviously too, i would mod the hell out of the one i keep! .
so tell me.. which one would u keep?

That is a very hard question! Do you have any pictures, and what year and mileage are on the cars?

I'd Keep the E320 because overall it's a better car. But on the other hand the 220 will be less expensive to mod, and maintain. I have a 98' C230, (black/black). I love it, and I actually just got it. But two years ago I had a 98' E320, which I had to give up because I could not afford the mothly payment. But of course if I had a choice, it would be the E320, hands down. Oops, you didn't just hear me say that in the C class forum...

keep the E320 and turbocharge it! 6-cyl power rules.....

ur right. the 320 engine is by far my fav engine, it has the best power/consumption ratio.
both are 96 models
mileages are:
W210: 68k miles
W202: around 55K
none of them have given me any trouble so i am very pleased with both cars. i just cant avoid loving the 202s looks!
pics will come soon. but they are nothin special. just bone stock
and if i get my hands on an AMG kit, i would cetainly looove it on my 202.
i just dont see a w210 as a car to mod.

Well the lines of the E320, especially the round headlights are "signature" mercedes. And any true MBZ enthusiast would (should) agree, that an E class is an E class... and a C is a C... no matter how you look at it. Also, the C220 is a 4 banger, which does not rate as high on the "performance" scale compared to the more beefy and robust 6 of an E.

But this is the W202 forum, and I have the give props where they are due. If you want to trick out a benz... pedals, springs, big rims, lights, kit, etc... a C class is much more practical... and less expensive to mod!!!!

So, big ups to the C class!!! Pics of mine will be up in about two weeks when my wheels come in.
