1982 Mercedes-Benz 380SL

• the teal metallic paint is deep and glossy, no paint bill
• tan leather seats look excellent, no upholstery cost
• both tops are shown, the hardtop on the car and the black soft top raised and tight, no top money to spend
• the gauge photo reads 048496 miles, low numbers help value when the history backs them up
• the V8 engine bay is tidy and original-looking, no cleanup bill
• the trunk carpet is tan and clean, no replacement needed
• the dash wood is only partly visible in the photos, so its full condition can't be judged, keep a small allowance for it
• can't judge the underside, there are no lift shots, floor rust stays unchecked

Money: there is no sold price on file for this car, so judge from the photos — glossy paint, excellent leather and both tops present and shown make this one of the stronger cars in the batch; only the unseen underside argues for holding a little back.
