Any thoughts on which Volvo to sell? 200 1985

I have two sedans, both 240s. I have to sell one but I love them both.

Should I sell the 85 manual (ugly, more fun to drive, I worry about her less) for about $2500 or the 89 automatic (in perfect condition in every respect) for about 5K. I hate letting the 89 go because she was an amazing find, but I'm leaning toward it because I'll get more for her and because my neighbor regularly hits her door bumper.

They're both good cars. The 85 will need new brakes in the next few years, but neither needs any work. When I say I'm selling the 89, my mechanics say "I can't believe you're letting her go!" When I say I'm selling the 85, they say, "You gotta like an '85 manual - you'll never find another one like her." They aren't helping.

Any thoughts appreciated.
