R129 Price Guide?

[StephenP]

Sorry if this had been asked before but couldn't find anything with the search.....

Is there a good guide to current R129 SL prices online anywhere? Primarily looking at 97-onwards, in particular special editions in both 320 and 500.

Are the 2000-onwards cars OK? Reading up online seems to suggest lower build quality?

Is there a preferred UK 'buyers guide' online?

Also anywhere I can find what came as standard and option on the various years?

Thanks in advance!

Great, thanks. I've been looking through that thread - some great info!

Wondering what sort of car £10-11k gets in post-98 320s

Brilliant, thanks!

Very nice

Thanks all for the info, we picked up a 2001 SL Designo Almandine 320 yesterday ...

The later Designo Almandine is a cherry-black colour, quite unlike the earlier red colour.

Indeed. The car is a special edition released in 2001 in Almandine Black (182) at the same time as the Silver Arrow and the Designo Alanite (green) ....

Thanks! Got some things to do but really please with it and the colour was a deciding factor, although that somewhat limited our selection as they only made 50 of them and we wanted the optional panoramic roof...🤣
