I love the low mileage old cars (I've got three!), but the problem with the ultra-low mileage cars is that you feel like you shouldn't be driving it too often. First question is, what is the motivation? Money? Want something new? Want something more fun?

If you buy a convertible, be prepared to not drive it too often because the weather won't allow. I put less than 1000 miles a year on my SL because it's a pretty day car - when the weather is remotely bad, I take the 300D or one of my other drivers (LS430 or an '03 pickup). So, buying an SL means you probably won't drive it any more than you do the 240D. Is it worth to get rid of a low-mile 240D that you barely drive so you can get an SL that you barely drive?

You owned a 2.3-16 - was that fun to drive? Did you drive the heck out of it? Why did you sell it?
