The more I learn about R129 the more I like them and I think those are some of the best cars Mercedes ever built.
So why are they so cheap? I beaten up car can be had for about $2500, $10,000 buys a nice one.
A reasonable SL600 can be found in the $10-$20k range and it is a low volume supercar. A used Pagani with exactly the same engine will be a few hundred thousand (up to millions if AMG tuned). A Porsche 993 of the same vintage will be 4 times that expensive, more fun but less comfort, less safety and it's also a pain to work on.
Do you see them already moving up in price into desirable, collectable category or do we need to wait longer? Or are they destined to be just "old used cars"? thx
