AFTER PUCHASING AND SELLING MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ON EBAY- I WOULD OFFER THE FOLLOWING ADVICE-"CAVEAT EMPTOR" (LET THE BUYER BEWARE)!MANY OF THESE VEHICLES OFFERED FOR SALE HAVE MISLEADING PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS! MANY ARE BEING SOLD BECAUSE THEY NEED REPAIRS (SOMETIMES MAJOR) AND YOU CAN REALLY GET BURNED!!

LOW MILEAGE IS NOT A INDICATION OF THE CONDITION OF THE VENICLE AS MANY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES HAVE NOT BEEN WELL CARED FOR. HIGHER MILEAGE VEHICLES IN GOOD CONDITION ARE OFTEN GOOD BUYS. THE ENGINES AND TRANSMISSIONS OF THESE "PANZER WAGONS" ARE GOOD FOR 500,000 MILES BEFORE ANY MAJOR SERVICE IS REQUIRED.

IF YOU CANNOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND/OR YOU ARE NOT TERRIBLY KNOWLEDGEABLE YOU ARE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE SELLER'S DESCRIPTION AND EBAY RATINGS. BUYING FROM A DEALER CAN OFTEN BE PROBLEMATIC AS THEY TEND TO LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S CONDITION.

THEREFORE IT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO CHECK OUT THE SELLER'S EBAY RATINGS- BOTH THE NUMBER AND THE QUALITY OF THE FEEDBACK.

I AM A RETIRED PHYSICIAN AND MY HOBBY IS REFURBISHING 560 SL'S. ANY NEEDED REPAIRS ARE SUBBED OUT TO MY EXPERIENCED GERMAN MECHANIC. MAJOR UPHOLSTERY WORK IS ALSO SUBBED OUT. I FOCUS ON THOSE RELATIVELY "NIGGLING" ISSUES THAT TEND TO BE QUITE EXPENSIVE WHEN PERFORMED IN A REPAIR SHOP.

ABOUT THE 560SL:

PRODUCTION OF THE "107" BEGAN IN 1972 AND TERMINATED IN 1989 WITH THE 560SL. MERCEDES THUS HAD 17 YEARS TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN DUBBED "THE PANZER WAGON" BECAUSE OF ITS WORKMANSHIP  AND DURABILITY.

THE 560 SL WAS PRODUCED FROM 1986-1989 AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST DESIREABLE AND COLLECTIBLE. WHEN THE LAST VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED IN 1989 IT SOLD FOR $64,000, SO ONLY THE VERY WEALTHY COULD AFFORD THEM.

BECAUSE OF THEIR EXTREME DURABILITY AND TENDENCY NOT TO RUST THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND THEY ARE QUITE AFFORDABLE.

IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF SPORTS CAR HISTORY WRITTEN 50 YEARS FROM NOW THESE LATE MODEL 560'S WILL BE WRITTEN IN AS THE LAST OF THE TRULY ELEGANT TOURING CARS FROM MERCEDES BENZ. THESE CARS ARE SIMPLY STUNNING! WHILE NEW CARS ARE STILL WONDERFUL BY TODAY'S STANDARDS THEY ARE ALL DESTINED TO THE JUNK HEAP WHEN THEIR COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY THE FACTORY. THESE SUPERBLY CRAFTED MOTORCARS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ROAD WORTHY DUE TO THEIR PURE MECHANICAL SIMPLICITY. A GUY WITH A SET OF TOOLS AND A SHOP MANUAL WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND TO WORK ON THESE GEMS FROM MB, MUCH THE SAME WAY AS CARS FROM THE 20'S AND 30'S ARE REBUILT AND MAINTAINED SO SIMPLY TODAY. THE PAINT ON THESE CARS FROM THAT ERA WILL OUTLAST THE NEW PAINTS 10 TO 1.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FRO A TRUE FUN WEEKEND CAR WITH COLLECTOR APPEAL ONE OF THESE CARS IS A GREAT WAY TO GO!
