need your oppion on a 560sl
Would you consider a 1986 560sl in excelent condition for 10k canadian if it had 200k miles on it or would I be crazy to consider a high miler. The car is light silver with black leather interior and factory chrome wheels. The car spent most of its life in California
I want a low miler but don't have a lot to spend and am alittle impatient. Do these cars transmissions start to fail around 200k miles or could they go 300-400k miles if very well cared for? I could possibly get a new sebring or hybrid but also love these classic beauties! Any honest oppinions very appreciated! How many miles does your mercedes have on it?
Any body selling a charcol grey 560sl mint low miles and chrome wheels, or blue, black, or silver? I can't spend alot.

560's are great, and very fun to drive, but 200k miles might be a little high if it was not taken care of with excelent care. I have heard they die around 250k-300k miles. If you are going to get it then I would look for rust in interior and exterior of the car as well as the transmission. I would suggest looking for another 560 even if it is slightly more expensive.
