its still in the air.
my options are a 95 sedan/wagon if i can find one low mileage.
if not ill probably end up with a 97-98 w210 sedan.
my heart is set on a champagne or white w124 with low miles, but we all know how that goes. and itll definitely be wald v4 again, but just going a bit "different" since im familiar with the car and its capabilities now.
