As others have pointed out, condition is everything. Condition coupled with low mileage and the right color can really drive the price up. How about this ad in today's Philadelphia Inquirer?

"Mercedes 300 SL '90
19,500 mi, smoke slvr with beige leather, $31,000 call 610-530-8876"

I don't know how close the seller will come to that asking price, but it seems that mint condition 300 SL's are fetching prices very close or at par with 500 SL's

Ironically, in that same classified section a '92 500 SL listed as mint condition with 79 k mi has an asking price of $23,000 and a '91 500 SL with AMG whls in "immaculate" cond ( no mileage given) had an asking price of $21,900.

The real key is what dealers are willing to payat auction which I believe is a lot more than some of the stated book values.

I think, in this area your car would bring anyware from $19,000 to $22,000.
