Title: Benchmark Pricing for Mercedes Classic restored 1971 280SL
Post by: Swissomatic on August 21, 2022, 14:52:49: This may be the highest auction price paid for a Pagoda. Not sure if this includes buyers premium which could be another 10%. Beautiful car, color combination and rebuild.

Post by: Jonny B on August 21, 2022, 15:15:29: Interesting color combination, and it does not match the data card.

Post by: Vander on August 21, 2022, 15:16:36: That is inclusive of buyer's premium.

Here is one last year that sold for $335k

Post by: mbpaul on August 22, 2022, 14:32:00: Early 230SLs had upright tire. A 1966 230Sl had the tire as shown in the photos.

Post by: Garry on August 22, 2022, 22:10:45: I always thought the 230’s, 250’s and 280sl’s prices would level up over the longer period just like the 300sl’ have done and thus making the 230sl a better investment for the long haul. That sort of pricing does not surprise me.

Post by: john.mancini on August 23, 2022, 02:02:22: I just sold a very original, documented 47K mile, pristine 69 280SL to a great guy and a new Pagoda SL Group member. I'd take my 280SL over that one that sold for $324K any day of the week. Prices are crazy. Not just with W113's. Have you seen Porsche prices lately? My neighbor just bought a re-manufactured 1966 Ford Bronco for $279,000.00. There's a classic Bronco Company that remanufactures Broncos the way that Hemmels remanufactures classic MB's. YIKES!

Post by: stratamarr on September 01, 2022, 15:46:48: John- can I ask what you got for your very original '69? I have (what I think) is a very original '69 in rough shape. Double the number of miles though.

Post by: john.mancini on September 05, 2022, 02:10:43: Out of fairness to the buyer, who has joined this great club, I would rather keep it private. I'm sure that you understand. Thanks.
