My 87 560 was very well maintained before I bought it,I got service records with the car. The tires appear to be recent puchase michelins. I had a mb mechanic look at every nook and cranny of this car. It took him 2 hours. I'm hopefull that the 18500 That I paid was in fact reasonable. This is the car that my wife has wanted since her high school days,we love it. It's lots of fun.
In regards to insurance, I could not find an insurance co. that would sell me antique auto ins. because the car is only 17 years old. Since the car is stored away for the winter I cancelled most of the ins. coverage except for fire,theft. I'll increase the ins. back yo full coverage in April.

Well bought! These cars seem to be gradually appreciating and there are a lot on the market with your mileage in the $20K range.
One thing I would caution you is to replace the tires before you really start driving it. The consensus is that tires are good for a maximum of seven or eight years regardless of mileage. With age, tires lose the stopping and cornering capabilities that your fine car requires.
