You should get a nice driver for $10k. By driver, I mean a car with a healthy amount of mileage but in good shape to be driven every day.
450SL's are slower, thurstier and cheaper to buy.
560SL's are faster, more modern and more expensive
380SL's get great fuel mileage but are sometimes considered under powered and can have a single row timing chain which is known for breaking. Many have been converted but if yours has not, plan on changing the timing chain every 40,000 miles.
The Euro cars are all over the place price wise.
Ebay should give you a good indicator of what these cars go for.
Good luck in your search.
