1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

• Blue metallic paint is glossy and reflective and the panels look straight — no paint budget from these photos.
• Front license bracket is visibly rusty and the wheel-arch close-up shows bubbling at the lower sill — budget for rust repair there and a closer check for more.
• Chrome bumpers look bright apart from that rusty front bracket — no full re-chrome money needed.
• Blue soft top looks fresh and taut with clear plastic windows — no top replacement budget from these photos.
• Gray leather seats look smooth and barely worn, front and rear — no reupholstery money needed.
• Dash looks clean, gauges are clear and the burl wood console trim looks rich and glossy — no dash or trim budget.
• Aftermarket speakers are cut into the rear deck carpet — budget small money only if you want that put back to stock.
• Engine close-up shows dust and surface rust on clamps and fittings — budget for an engine detail and a mechanical once-over, not repairs from this photo.
• Trunk is clean and fully carpeted — no trunk money needed.
• Flat-face wheels look clean and tires show good tread — no wheel or tire budget from these photos.
• No underside photos in the sample — can't judge the underside, hold back money for that inspection, especially with rust already visible up top.

Money: At $17,990 this 560SL looks cheap for its paint, leather and top, but the rusty front bracket and sill bubbling mean real money should be held back for rust work until the underside is seen.
