The 280/300/350/380/450/560SL to me represents one of the best "bang for the buck" Mercedes available. Very classy....and convertible!

Based on the current prices and all the newer technology SL's, these cars seem to be "out of favor". I certainly don't see many on the road and fewer and fewer show up at concours, etc.

For a modest amount, $10-$20K, you can be REALLY picky when searching to buy one....lots to choose from because of the long production run.

Chuck offers some great advice on your search. Good luck!
