1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

• Burgundy paint looks glossy in the full showroom shots, but close-ups tell a different story, no clean bill on paint overall.
• One close-up shows bubbling and chipped paint with rust at the lower sill by the rear wheel, budget rust repair there.
• Another close-up shows a large rust crater with flaking metal on a black panel, budget serious rust repair, not a touch-up.
• Cream seats look clean and well shaped with no tears, no need to reupholster.
• Glovebox and dash wood look badly worn, peeling and water-stained in close-up, budget dash wood replacement or refinishing.
• Trunk carpet looks dirty and stained, budget a deep clean or replacement carpet.
• Black soft top looks new, taut and clean from above, no top spend judged from that shot.
• Underside shots show dirty, aged components with rust on the differential and exhaust and old underseal, budget underside work and a leak check.
• Alloy wheels look clean in the full shots and tires look presentable, no immediate tire spend visible.
• Three of the final sampled photos are showroom and building filler from Classic Auto Mall, not this car.
• Engine bay is not shown in the sampled photos, so I can't judge it.

Money: At $15,900 this 560SL is cheap for a reason, the photographed rust crater, sill rust and ruined dash wood mean real body and interior money is still to spend, so the ask only works after a full rust inspection.
