1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL

• cream paint looks even and glossy down the side in this one profile shot, no obvious dents or rust showing, so no paint bill visible from here
• chrome side trim and window trim look straight and bright, no replating cost evident in this view
• tan seats are only partly visible with the top down, just the headrest and seat tops showing, so full reupholstery need cannot be judged from this photo
• black rubber bumper ends look intact and not cracked in this view, saving a bumper trim bill for now
• alloy wheels look clean and uncurbed in this shot, no wheel refurb cost showing
• can't judge the dash - it is not shown close up in the only photo, so crack or repair cost is unknown
• can't judge the engine bay - it is not shown at all, so any engine work cost is unknown
• can't judge the underside - it is not shown at all, so rust or floor repair cost is unknown
• can't judge the convertible top - it is folded down and the fabric is not shown, so a new top cost cannot be ruled out

Money: At $24,600 sold, the clean straight side and glossy cream paint in the single photo support the price, but with no interior, engine or underside views the buyer paid on exterior looks alone.
