What's a Brabus SL worth?

I've got a buddy in the car biz that ran across a 91 Brabus SL.

It's a gray market car, it has an Arizona title and has passed state inspection so there is no concern with title or plates, it has 29,000 miles, hard top included, it's got a body kit, BIG wheels, custom interior and it's lightly modded under the hood which includes a sweet exhuast system.

A little background, my buddy wholesales highline cars all over the country and comes across all sorts of interesting stuff. He says the car is a winner. He would of kept it for himself but he has a 91 SL with a full AMG treatment that he found with only 4k on the clock.

What's this car worth? What's a US spec stock 91 SL with 29k worth?

Thanks guys.

seeing how the market for the R129 SUCKS right now. and if one were to look at the value of a R107, the cars value will go up a lot in about 5-10 years espically with 29K on it.

so right now its worth AT BEST like very best 20,000. and thats if it has the FULL brabus packages (not just kit and exhaust and rims)

Thanks Mark.

I just emailed him. I'm an SL owner!

I'll post some pix when I pick her up tonight.

Now I just need a old school German name for her.

He's not the original owner. He's a wholesaler and I'm in the car business.
