Pretty good price, to have paid for it, in that color and mileage, though books and records may have been tossed at the first auction, years ago..
Last of the cost-no-object SLs in terms of build quality, longevity, durability, but may have the unfortunate biodegradeable wiring harness,Low miles as expected cause few were the owners' only car; to impractical for a daily driver and workhorse.
...A nice Panzer kampf Wagen in the sports edition, BIG draw for gold diggerz so be careful.
Sounds well bought to me, have fun with it. Take care of it and maintain it, and it will last a LONG time.

Yes, I love the color. I was not sure if I would like a triple black, but it love it. I am planning on doing the hoist. I have a 10 foot high ceiling in my garage so clearance is not an issue.
I never wanted an SL for speed. I have wanted a convertible ever since I had my 1965 T-Bird when I was 16. The car is actually much quicker that I excepted, but I drive a 1981 300D much of the time. It also rides nicer than I expected. I hope to maintain and drive this one for many years, but I have yet to part with a Mercedes outside of divorce, wreck, or just plain rusted out. My 'gems' are this car, my 1991 300SE, and my beautiful white 1985 300D.
