WHICH ONE WOULD YOU KEEP?????

I may have to sell one of our two MB Vehicles, but I am having a hard time deciding which one it should be?

In my signature below, you can see the details of boths cars.

I am thinking of keeping the C300, as it has 30K less miles and is 8 years newer, also has heated seats which the E320 does not have. But, I would like to get your input as well. BOTH cars are EXTREMELY clean, well maintained and taken care of. The C300 will receive the 18" inch AMG wheels (which were available for this model was well) next week, as I purchased a set from a forum member.

I also posted the same question on the W211 section.

Thanks in advance Guys and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

hard decision as the e320 has 91k and is 8 years older than it, but C300 is newer and has 60k so pretty bad to keep the c300

Unless you need or overall prefer a larger car it seems like keeping the C300 would be a no brainer. Newer, less miles, more features and probably a little better performance. I would keep the C300.

Really, we all know the real answer is: whatever your wife wants.

The C is the wife's first MB ever, after she has been driving seven (7) BMW's over the years. Needless to say, she misses her BMW and wants to get back into an E46 (In our opinion, the nicest 3 Series Body Style ever made, we do not like the newer body styles at all). I found one, 2005 325i, original owner with believe it or not, 8300 Original miles. YES, 8300, it is NOT a typo.
So if I get her that car, then I will keep the C and try to sell my E. As mentioned, we do have a full size SUV, if real size does really matter. But for me, the daily driver would most likely be the C, while the wife can get back into her beloved BMW.

WE SHALL SEE!

Thanks very much w204 racing! At least I can see that making smarter, more useful comments on this forum was NOT one of your New years resolutions!
