1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

• silver-blue paint looks glossy and straight in the full side view, no repaint needed
• front spoiler lower edge is scraped through the paint, budget a touch-up or live with it as a driver flaw
• chrome and grille look bright and intact, no rechrome bill
• cream leather seats look clean with no tears in the top-down view, no need to reupholster
• rear carpet behind the seats is dark-stained in stripes, budget a deep clean and check for a leak
• trunk carpet is blotchy and stained, budget a detail before calling it tidy
• hardtop headliner and sun visors look clean and tight, no headliner work needed
• soft top fabric looks clean, but one rubber top seal is split open, budget a seal replacement or expect leaks
• dash pad looks smooth with no cracks showing, no dash repair needed
• tires show deep tread, no immediate tire bill
• underside shows surface rust on the subframe and exhaust, budget an inspection rather than assuming it is rust-free
• engine bay is not shown in the sampled photos, I can't judge it, so budget for an inspection

Money: at $25,750 sold, the glossy paint and clean leather help, but the stained carpets, split top seal and surface rust underneath explain why it did not bring top money.
