Advice on buying 1985 380sl
Hello I'm looking for a 380sl and I've been looking into one specific one. The 85 380sl has been my dream car ever since I was little, especially the red color so I'm really hoping to get one for a reasonable price. So I found one that had about 130k miles on it and I had a mercedes mechanic check it out. He said that the there was a lot of repairs that needed to be done...

The mechanic did say that the car had good bones but repairs would most likely cost 8-10k. My question is, what would be a reasonable price for this car that you'd pay? I would plan on basically repairing as I go (although suggestions on this would be helpful too, I'm only 18 so my knowledge on cars is limited). Thank you for your help! |
