I have several friends who own various SL models. They all keep pushing me to buy one. I have sold off a couple cars recently and will be selling off four more, so there will be room to buy one.

Which should I buy?

An older two-seater like the 380/450 SL with dual tops?

A newer SL?

What about a newer SEL?

Which to avoid? to look for?

I got all the SL experts here, so please, put in your two cents.

Assume we got up to 8,000 to work with

Thanks
