[R129 SL] Cheap SL's

[Michael Devenis]

Here in Los Angeles one can buy a 300SL with under 80K miles for about
17,500$ to 19,000$.  Or a 500SL with the same mileage for about 5,000$
more. Is the performance advantage of the V-8 worth the added cost? And
is the economy of the 6 cylinder worth the lower performance? Also, are
there any years to avoid? I usually avoid the 1st year of any new model,
but this might be an exception. I am referring to the '90 through '94
year cars........ the ones with 3 vents behind the front wheels as
opposed to the latter cars with 2 vents.
