1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL

• Light silver-blue paint is glossy and even with straight panels, so no paint money here.
• Chrome trim and bumpers look bright and clean, so no rechrome spend shows.
• Matching hardtop is shown fitted and looks clean, so that top is included value.
• Blue soft top is shown up at the rear, but its plastic rear window looks cloudy, so budget for a window or top repair to see out of it properly.
• Blue leather seats look very good, smooth with light shine and no tears, so no reupholstery cost here.
• Blue door cards look clean and tight, so no door trim money here.
• Dash and console look tidy in the sampled views, so no dash restoration bill shows.
• Chromed Bundt-style wheels are a non-original finish, bright in the photos, and the Michelin tires look fresh, so no tire spend, but originality buyers should price the wheels accordingly.
• The one underside close-up shows dusty suspension with surface rust on arms and hardware, so budget an underside clean and inspection rather than structural money on this evidence.
• No engine bay photos in the sampled set, so engine condition can't be judged from these photos.
• No trunk photos in the sampled set, so trunk condition can't be judged.

Money: at $29,394 the visible car is a clean, hardtop-included driver — the spend showing is the cloudy soft top window and an underside check, plus a small originality discount for the chromed wheels.
