Mercedes Benz 450sl Roadster
I need help finding out how much my 1977 Mercedes is worth



this is my new 1977 Mercedes 450sl roadster and I have no idea what it’s worth so I was hoping somebody could help.

Pros:
100,000 miles
Has no dings + all rubber is intact
Has hardtop
Runs very well has no problems with the engine, the only thing is that you have to give it a little gas when you first start it up
Brakes are all good

Cons:
The issue with giving it gas like I mentioned earlier
Clear coat is peeling
Soft top needs replacing

Any guess on how much it’s worth would be super appreciated

Cargurus has one 1977 with around 100k miles listed for $22k. Is that what you have in mind?

No guarantee on what the actual sold transaction price would be.

look at various websites or find a car appraiser or ask your insurance company because they have their own ideas.

Are those 1977 wheels?

It can range from 15K to 25K from what I've been seeing. What you actually get can vary on how fast you want to sell and actual condition, and location, and actual car history. Keep in mind that how you view your car might not be how others view it.

There are online guides that may help. Hagerty has one. My guess is less than $10k in it's current condition.

Go to Mecum.com. Go to Menu, Auctions, Results. Type in 1977 450SL. You'll get lots of hits. Note the results are not in any order. You can sort by highest bid. But keep scrolling because even that might not be consistent. BTW I'm a driver at the local Mecum Houston auction. Don't think I've ever had an SL.
