98 Prelude for '00 S2k? or '02 C230?

should i go w/ '00 s2k (white with red interior) or the red '02 benz c230 (nevagation sys., 6 speed manual, 17 cus. rims.. though i don't like them). both of them have pretty much the same mileage and price. just wanted to get some opinion

oh yea, another one.. '98 bmw 323ic w/ m3 engine swap. has about 15k miles on the engine.. blk/blk.

I'd have to go with the S2k. Much more fun in the long run IMO. To me, Mercedes are blah unless it's an AMG modle, like say a C32 in the case of the C230 you're looking at. Plus the S2k is drop top.

Although the S2000 may be faster and more fun to drive, the cash you save on insurance by owning a Mercedes-Benz ought to give you something to think about. I owned a 1992 Honda Prelude Si with 98,000 miles. It costs more to insure than my new 2003 Mercedes-Benz C230. I saved about $50 a month and I don't have to worry about little teenagers constantly stealing parts off of my car ( i.e. the Honda "H" ).
By the way, the Mercedes-Benz has 8 air bags and hundreds of pounds of protective steel. However, the S2000 does make a nice looking coffin.

S2000 all the way.....my '02 S2000 (white/ALL RED interior)is one of my favorite cars of all time. It is like a little go-kart the way it handles....get one if you have the chance.
