1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

• Black paint is glossy and straight in the yard photos, so no respray money needed on looks.
• Chrome bumpers and grille are bright, so no chrome bill.
• Both tops are shown — black hardtop on in some shots and the black soft top half-raised in another — so neither top is missing.
• Tan seats look clean with no tears and the rear deck carpet is tidy, so no reupholstery cost.
• Console wood is badly crazed and cloudy around the shifter, so budget for wood refinishing to make the interior match the paint.
• Dash top looks uncracked in the cockpit shots, saving a dash repair.
• Engine bay is complete but the air cleaner housing is off and the intake sits open in the photo, so confirm the housing comes with the car before paying.
• The car sits on dirt and mulch in a yard with dirty tires, so check the age of the tires before budgeting a set.
• Two factory keys are shown, which saves a spare-key cost.
• Underside is not shown in the sampled photos, so I can't judge underside rust from photos, and yard parking makes that check important.

Money: At $14,000 a black 560SL with both tops and a clean tan interior is fairly priced, but the crazed console wood, the removed air cleaner and no underside photos mean verify before you commit.
