As for paying too much i bought a 1984 280sl euro
with a 5 speed stick about 6 years ago. at the
time i paid about $17,000 for the car with
148k on the clock. Six years later it has
175k and the repair costs has been zippo.
So as i see it im well ahead and have been
able to enjoy this vehicle.

No regrets at all from me. Just enjoy your
purchase.
