'89 560SEL vs '99 S420

I need some help on deciding on purchasing another Mercedes for myself. I am looking at a 1989 560SEL with about 146k miles, like new condition, and a 1999 S420 with 148k miles like new. I love both of them but can only afford to buy one of them right now. Which would be the best one to get? As I love how the S420 at least has cup holders, but since I love the W126 and W140 I am lost on which one to look at. Help.

The best or nothing
W126 is a better bet.

- Higher potential future value
- More fun to drive
- Better street cred
- The best Bruno Sacco's creation
- True legend
- MUCH less future maintenance

W126 is already a classic. W140 is a dinosaur (sorry W140 owners).
