1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL

• Dark blue paint is deep and glossy in every outdoor shot, so no respray money needed on looks.
• Chrome bumpers and grille are bright, and the lights are shown working front and rear, so no light or chrome bill seen.
• Both tops are shown — hardtop on in the garage shots and the dark soft top up in one street shot — so neither top looks missing.
• Grey seats are only seen from a distance through the windshield and look untorn, but there is no close-up, so judge the leather in person before paying for condition.
• Dash looks uncracked in the one night interior shot and the wood trim is present, so no obvious dash cost.
• Engine bay is shown once, dark and distorted, complete with air cleaner in place, but too poor to judge leaks, so I can't judge engine costs from that photo.
• Bundt wheels look clean and tires have visible tread, so no immediate tire spend seen.
• Most photos are casual snapshots of the same angles repeated, with no underside or close interior shots, so I can't judge underside rust from photos.

Money: At $14,500 the glossy blue paint and having both tops shown support the price, but the snapshot gallery leaves seats, engine and underside unverified, so the price only works after an in-person look.
