1986 420SL (Import) Worth? Help asap!

So here's the deal..

Have a 1986 420SL that wasn't sold in the States, and I'm having a very hard time finding any information on what it's worth. Likewise, the dealership I'm talking to seems as naive as I am. The car has 136,000 miles on it Can I get a ballpark idea of what the car may be worth?

Please help me out as soon as possible as I need to figure out what to do with it asap.

Thanks in advance!

I have nothing to back up my assumption but I would think this car would be worth about the same as a similar 560sl. It is a fairly rare car production wise but there are no real pluses for this model over a 560 other than slightly better gas mileage.

Depending on condition

6-8500. People tend to stay away from what they don't know about.
The 280 Sl euro's from 85 were less than desirable.

Post some pixs?
