Someone may have an original but i suspect it will be a bit more than that.

Under three figures for an authentic one will be a bit difficult. The easiest indicator of originality is to look at the picture of the dash instruments near the front of the book. If authentic these should be in full color. Note - it is a drawing though. Repops are usually blue.

You can also set up a standing search on eBay, patience, and you may find a bargain.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

 Unconcerned about originality right now. Just want something that will answer some basic questions like "what's that light mean" or "where's the fuse box".

Garry i did i check out that site. Also poked around on eBay and found
a vendor (BARGAINOID) who will supply a PDF copy in email for $10.
Looks like he has quite a bit of service manuals for various models  on PDF and CD.

To get one in  Germany for  reasonably price (about 100 Euro) I was looking for my 250SL manual for about one year.
The 250SL is in Germany less popular like should indicate from the statistics, so is also hard to get some specific items for the 250SL.

Not sure this is what you’re looking for, but just after purchasing my car I bought a 250-280sl owner’s manual (English version) from Mercedes-Benz-Classic-Store.com (in Germany). The art. no was 6510911902. The cost was 35€ plus shipping (which was ridiculous, but this is MB...), total of 50€.
