85 380sl Question?
Help with pricing please...
I know of an 85 380sl that is parked out front of a business in SoCal and the seller wants 6k. It is a European car with small bumpers.
It is red with tan interior. Seller says it runs.
I’m not sure on the miles though.
Paint is in good shape with a small ding or two on a rear panel.
is 6k worth it?

Need to know miles and pictures of condition...otherwise who knows.
check NADA, KBB and maybe google 85 380SL to see if you can find others for sale and get their prices.

Assuming decent condition, that is an excellent price. The 380 engines, while a little weak are robust in that year. Unlike earlier versions, the '84 and '85 are fitted with the dual-row cam chain, although I think all euro versions were.

You need more information, and to go over the vehicle with a fine tooth comb. Plus run and drive the vehicle for a good chunk of time, minimum 30 minutes if you are serious about buying it.
Cargurus list prices from $5k - $65k. Low priced examples have well over 100k miles. High priced examples are lowish miles and in pristine condition.
KBB.com lists a 1992 300SL with 125,000 miles (they didn't list 1985 as an option for model year) in the range of $2k-$4k.
If it were me, I would walk from this car, unless you have emotional or intangible value associated with this model or model year.

I went there today and spoke to the seller, he painted the car red. So I was out.
