descisions descision, help!

i am having the thought of selling my coupe simply because i got a deal i can't really refuse. i need your advice guys.

would you keep a '95 v6 le coupe with no options at 133k miles or

would you sell it to buy a '96 xle v6 sedan with 30k miles? the sedan in is near new condition and my coupe is far from the condition level....

i'm pretty sure i'm leaning towards the sedan but i wanted to hear your thoughts first, thanks!

Thumbs up

for the sedan as described (even though I really like the coupes)

If you decide NOT to pick up the sedan, let me know and I'll drive over and pick it up. *lol*

Depends is having a sedan compared to a coupe would benefit you in someway?

It may not look quite as sporty but 4 doors provides much more functionality should you need it, at least that's my opinion. Also only 30k miles v6 xle that's like barely broken in I would definitely upgrade. Good luck.

hmm this is a tough one for me. i went from a 95 sedan with 130k to 94 coupe with 148, just cuz i loved the coupe...and the sedan was totaled . here are the pros as i see it.
1. the coupe looks better hands down...thats about it.
2. the sedan is more useful, has better resale value, is less to insure (though not gonna be much less since u have the LE V6 coupe and not SE) and the parts for the doors are easier to find. at 30K miles thats a great trade off IMO unless ur really in love with the coupe look.

update:

went to see the sedan with my dad today. once we got there, it looked gorgeous and all but missing the plates. i figured the guy maybe took 'em off for a reason, whatever.

meet the guy, he seems kinda jittery and weird. weird vibes coming off him. we inspected the car but he was too careful for us not to stain anything or tear or break anything (he was super super paranoid). Test drive time came around and he didn't let either my father or me drive. Only he was at the wheel.

Car handled and drove (from a passenger perspective) amazingly. All the options were perfect including the sunroof and the interior felt nearly new. So came the time for negotiations. Turns out he doesn't have the registration on hand and thinks he "lost the pink slip and can't find it" and the plates are somewhere in his mother's garage in Sad Diego.

My dad and i thought for a minute about it and left. Something was too damn shady for a car with no plates, title or registration and not being able to drive the car ourselves, something was weird. Maybe I should've thought about it a second time around but it was too risky.

So the coupe, stays, whee!
