1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

• First gallery image is the dealer logo, not the car — it proves nothing and costs nothing, the car photos start after it.
• Champagne-silver paint is glossy and even, shown top-down and with the matching hardtop on — no repaint bill showing.
• Chrome bumpers, grille and the added chrome wheel-arch trims are bright — no rechrome money needed, though the arch trims are a non-original add-on.
• Tan leather seats look excellent, clean and unripped from both sides — no need to reupholster.
• Dash and burl wood are clean and shiny, carpets are presentable — no dash or wood bill visible.
• One sun visor shows torn, hanging trim in the overhead cabin shot — budget a visor repair.
• Hardtop is shown fitted and looks clean; the soft top is never shown raised — can't judge the soft top, so its condition and leaks are unproven.
• Engine bay is complete but dusty, with a grubby washer tank and crumbling hood insulation — budget a detail and new hood pad, not a rebuild.
• Alloy wheels are dirty and brake-dusty, tyres show tread — budget a wheel clean, no immediate tyre bill shown.
• Can't judge the underside — no underside photos in the sampled gallery, so rust underneath is unproven.

Money: At $20,500 the paint, hardtop and excellent tan seats support the ask, with only small money for a visor, hood pad and detail — hold back a little until the unseen soft top is shown raised.
