Not really. MBCA write up was overly optimistic in valuations and knowledgable buyers look at far more than the star to figure out need to purchase. There are a host of local cars that are no more than parts cars that sellers want to make a mint from. They have more value at PnP.
Most of the cars on the road in the R/c107 class are #4 condition. A few may make it to #3 and are driven. I have yet to see a true #2. My indy has five or six SL he is working on. The 73 he rebuilt for a customer is a solid #3 and will sell for under $10k, Local dealer had a 84 380sl listed at $12k. I looked at it but it got sold while I fiddled about trying to get SWMBA to get there. This was a definite #3, border #2. No damage at all. Paint was spectacular, interior had no sign of wear. Serviced by the dealer from new, and all work done by the dealer with no cost seeming to be spared. The only thing I could find wrong was that the wheel wells had some dirt. This was front and center on the sales floor. It sold for $7800. clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored chap 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1976 300D - Blei Vanst - it looks silvery 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers On Feb 23, 2016, at 12:03 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: > Condition is EVERYTHING for an SL C.
