1955 Mercedes Benz Roadster
An acquaintance has approached me on offering his 1955 MB roadster for sale. It has 30K actual miles on it. The only known problem that he claims with the car is the carburetors are out of sync, and it doesn't run well, however it does run. He hasn't put a price on it. I am at a loss to what it might be worth. Can anyone comment on it's possible value? Thnx, Rebe

Just got through doing some reading on this subject as a matter of fact and the range of value on that era car is anywhere from 20-35k obviously dependant on condition. If it is a 190 it will fetch the best dollar value of the roadster from the 55-63 era.
I am sure there are alot of folks with hands on experience with these classics, but that is what I recently read on the subject.

You will need to do some research on a value.
Keep in mind However that there will be quite a bit of work to make this car safe and reliable. Fuel system, brakes, lines, hoses, cooling system. Not to mention some over looked items susch as wheel bearings front and rear seals etc. Rusted up suspention parts, tie rods, shocks, age of the tires. You need to look at the whole picture. There is always something to do on this type of car. Time is money.....If this vehicle needs extensive refurbishing there is a lot of time and $$$$$ that adds up. If some of the service work has recently been preformed you may want to adjust the price acordingly when establishing the value of the vehicle. |

Is this a 190SL roadster or 300S roadster? A good 190SL is worth a lot of money but not nearly as much as a 300S. 300S roadsters are probably harder to find than gullwings since there were ~700 300S/Sc's (coupes, cabs and roadsters) made vs ~1400 gullwings.

Thanks for the feedback much appreciated. It is supposed to be immaculate. I need to go view it, and take it from there.
