All the talk about the CHEAP SL, although a bit out of date I thought I'd
post the values of the MB 450SL according to the SL Market Newsletter
(08/09/04) . . . courtesy of D. Quinn:
Condition 1 $21,000
Condition 2 $12,789
Condition 3 $ 9,160
Condition 4 $ 5,780
Condition 5 $ 1,700
Condition 6 $ 800
Condition 1 - Restored in maximum potential professional standards.
Condition 2 - Preserved examples with minor wear.
Condition 3 - Worn original with higher mileage & repaint.
Condition 4 - Driveable needing only minor work to be reliable but
deteriorated and incorrectly rebuilt or modified.
Condition 5 - Needs complete restoration.
Condition 6 - Seriously damaged.
As I well know, as I've tried to sell my '76 (possibly a condition 2
example) for two years without success as I believe these values are only
pertinent for those who are specifically looking for this model. Note: I
know of one owner of a completely restored ("The Star" centerfold example)
who was supposedly offered considerably more than the highest price on this
list and did not accept it.
Hope this helps.
