Was there really a factory chrome package?
Hi SL enthusiasts,
I am looking at a 1986 560 SL and it has the chrome wheel well accents and chrome wheels. The dealer (used car lot) says that mercedes offered a chrome package back then...I don't believe him. The chrome around the wheel wells is attached with little set screws under the lip and has a body colored molding that touches the car. The sides of the molding go down to the lower body section where the little "waves" appear and match them perfectly. I'm not a fan of these add ons but the price on this is fairly reasonable considering the mileage and overall condition. I would like to own one and am NOT willing to pay the $24,000+ they are demanding. I hate that you can buy a 1990 + SL for what they are asking for 86-89 SLs..but I love the classic R107 body.
Thanks for your input!!
