A mate has seen a newer SL500 for sale so is interested in selling his K-reg one. Problem is he's only been offered about 10k for his.. it's done 80k miles and is in pretty good condition.

It's worth sooooooooo much more than 10k to him... VW Polo or second hand convertible with hard-top and a 5litre V8...

He's looking at a T reg with 35k, up for about £30k

Is it worth going for the newer car? What sort of mileage are the SL500's engine good for? 150k?

Is there much of a market? Would he be inundated with calls if he advertised it in Autotrader? What would be a fair price (parkers doesn't go back enough).

Cheers all. Rico
