Default What would you do?

This is a real question,
Wife bought a 2003 50th flop top, I have to many cars and need to sell a few. I have for sale 1986 Mercedes Benz 300SDL, 1985 Jaguar XJS V12, and 1980 C3 T top. I am keeping only one of these. My gut says the 1980 will be worth more than the XJS, MAYBE. two get voted off the island!

More likely a better question for the folks over in the Other Cars section of the Forum. Good luck with the decision.

That is a hard question . You have a lot of cars how do you take care of all of them. . I hope which ever car you sell is the right one.

Just my opinion, get rid of the Merc and the T-top. If you are looking at possible investments, I say keep the Jag because it's a pre-Ford car. Unfortunately the C3's after about '73-'74 are not going to be big money makers. Those Government Reg's just whipped up on the Vettes. Just my opinion though.

BTW, cars are really not a good long term investment. Just own them to enjoy them. Good luck.

Do you need a car that can hold 4 people?

I don't see most people living long enough to witness a 1980 Corvette becoming highly collectable. Just ain't gonna happen in my lifetime.
