1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC

• the photos show a 560SL roadster, not the 560SEC coupe in the listing title — it has a soft top, a hardtop and a 560SL badge — so price it as an SL, not an SEC
• the champagne paint looks glossy and even in the studio photos with no damage showing, so no paint money needed
• the brown soft top fabric looks good, but its rear window is wavy and distorted, so budget for a window or top
• the matching hardtop is shown fitted and looks clean, which adds value
• the brown dashboard looks uncracked and the burl wood looks glossy, so no dash spend
• the door card top edge looks wrinkled and loose, so a trim repair is a small bill to allow
• the odometer reads about 85,800 miles, so price it as a higher-mileage SL
• the books are photographed in the glovebox, which supports the price a little
• can't judge the seats — they are only partly visible in the photos I viewed, so their condition is unproven
• can't judge the engine bay — no engine photos in the set I viewed, so the mechanical side is unverified
• can't judge the underside — no underside photos in the set I viewed, so budget a lift inspection

Money: at $40,000 the money only works as a 560SL with a tired top window and 85k miles; as the 560SEC it is titled as, the listing data is simply wrong.
