The ideal situation is stick the 3dr away until you miss it enough/have sufficient disposeable income to throw at it and buy the CLK to smoke around in the meantime... but I if it was one or the other, I'd break the 3dr and get something modern/reliable/classy to drive instead.

However I'm really not loving loud out and out sports cars as a daily drive anymore, which would explain my opinion.

Cheers,
Grant

Fix the three door. It will rise in value. And just think, one sunny day when it's finished, you will drive past a shop window and see the reflection of it. Then you will remember why you brought her back to life

Thant's what I'm thinking at the mo, I couldn't do another Sapph after what has happened, and a 3dr will be worth more in the long run so if I stick with the Cossie route I think that will be my best option really mate
