What’s my Mercedes-Benz 280SL worth?
Used Mercedes-Benz 280SL at UK specialist dealers are asking from £29,995 to £295,000, with a median of £159,995 today (18 for sale). Year matters most: a 1984 asks a median of £29,995, a 1970 £199,995.
These are asking prices, not what cars sell for or what a dealer would pay you. Buyers usually negotiate, and a dealer buying your car offers less than it would ask, to cover preparation, a warranty and its margin.
