Market Highlights
- The R107 Appeal: The Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class has transitioned from an older luxury car to a bona fide classic. Values have stabilized and begun to climb, especially for well-maintained 'driver' examples that offer the prestige of the three-pointed star without the six-figure price tag of earlier Pagoda models.
- Southern California Market: In the La Habra and greater Los Angeles area, these cars are highly sought after due to the favorable climate. A rust-free chassis is the primary value driver for Mercedes of this era, and SoCal cars are widely considered the gold standard for structural integrity in the vintage market.
- Value Proposition: While the 560SL remains the performance leader of the range, the 380SL offers the same iconic silhouette and build quality at a more accessible price point. A running, smogged example for under $5,000 is increasingly rare and represents a significant opportunity for buyers.
