Yeah, I think the answer to this question will come from you and your lifestyle.

1) Start with sedan, coupe, or two-seat convertible - figure out which one best suits your life. I have an SL, but I don't drive it as much as the sedan because I have two boys, 6 and 4.

2) Once that's resolved, then you can start tackling what floats your boat - low-mileage, completely original beautiful machine? Used but well-cared for with higher miles? Rare, uncommon car or something "normal"? You want a car from the '70s? the '80s? the '90s? Will you do small repairs yourself? Will you do all repairs yourself?

With those answers, you can then proceed to "I think I'd like an SEC", or "how about an SL from the '80s", or "a newer SL like an r129 would be cool". When you get to this point, our experience can help you greatly choose a good one, but to get to that point you'll need to soul-search and pick a style, model, and decade of a car that best suits your life and your personality. We can't do that part.
