W202 vs w203

[Marschall]

AOA

 Dear brothers lately i have been on the hunt to buy two vehicles a japanese 660 and a mercedes w202,but now i am thinking to invest in one vehicle i.e a mercedes w203.Now here comes the problem in my budget i am getting a late 03 or

04 model merc i want a comparison between the 202 and the 203 in terms of:

1.Comfort
2.Running cost Maintainance
3.Economy
4.Resale
5.Handling

P.S: I have driven both the vehicles and the supercharged engine has more grunt and i have felt that the handling of the w202 is a bit sluggish

All suggestions are welcomed Thankyou ,

If you get a w202 it will be a premium purchase as budget wont limit you hense you would be able to buy a good car(depending on which you find in market). But coming towards a w203 a Premium purchasable cars price would be not less then 2.7 million.

chances of a clean old merc are very slim very less ppl have maintained them properly

W203 is good, more luxury feel but bit complicated cz more electrics on other hand W202 is cheaper, less electrics, solid, comfortable and maintenance is easy, you can find good w202 by PW or olx.
