1989 Mercedes-Benz

• Photos show a black R107 roadster badged 560 SL on the trunk, even though the listing title names no model, so the badge is what identifies the car here.
• Black paint is deep and glossy with straight panels and even reflections in every exterior shot, no repaint or bodywork bill visible here.
• Chrome bumpers, grille and side trim are bright and undamaged, no rechroming cost showing.
• Black soft top fits tight, but the plastic rear window looks slightly cloudy and wrinkled, so budget for a window or top refresh if it bothers you.
• Black leather seats look excellent, smooth with almost no creasing or bolster wear, no need to reupholster.
• Dash, gauges and burl wood console look clean and uncracked, though the radio is a modern Continental replacement, not the original Becker.
• Door sills and seat hardware are clean with no rust showing at the thresholds, a good sign for the floors you can see.
• Can't judge the engine bay — no under-hood photo appears in the sampled photos.
• Can't judge the underside — no undercarriage photo appears in the sampled photos.

Money: at $54,900 the visible paint, chrome and leather need no cosmetic spend, so the money risk sits in the unseen engine bay and underside — inspect those before paying 560SL money.
