These are enthusiast cars and if you are planning on paying a mechanic to work on it then you certainly will pay, dearly.

I have seen a couple go in the 2-3 thousand dollar range. I think I could buy an SL600 now for around $2k. What the hell? Drive it for a while and part it out if it pisses you off.

Sounds like the perfect car for that 5,543 sq mi parking lot that you call a state.
A friend of mine owns a Euro breaker yard with a few V12s and owns a low mileage 93 SL600. I recall he sold some electrical module (perhaps ignition control?) used for over a grand.
