anyone feel like paying 60K for a 450SEL 6.9?

I really think that is too expensive for the starting bid. I've seen 560SL's with 6K miles only go for $48K or so. And that's a roadster.

I think the value of this car is to be shown at concours events. It has to look pretty and smile at the judges. At the end of the event it gets in a truck bound for Harras or Blackhawk or some such display case where it awaits the next concours.

I'm not putting down show cars. I forget which member puts his heart and soul into that pristine white 560SEC. Nice to see miles on such a clean car.

Yep, that's a collector car, not a driver. The rules are different here.

Or sell it to a Mercedes Dealership for their showroom. A 240D in LA, had like 750K miles, looked new inside and out, MB took it paid like 40 grand or gave the woman who owned it a new car. Something, like that. I wasnt really paying attention when the guy told me.

that's not a bad idea:D
My dad almost got a new Ford pickup for his nice old origional '67 that he had bought new, and had 450k miles on it about 12 years ago. They actually thought about it at the dealer, but didn't go for it. (that truck now sits in my yard)
