[R129 SL] somebody talk me out of this

[Jack O. Ludwick]

I just last Aug  bought an SL 320  1997 with 37,000 miles and Starmarked.  I
am 69  years of age.  I say go for it.  Get it and enjoy it while you can.
A very old one with lots of miles can eat you alive and you will soon spend
more than you paid.  Jack Ludwick  Tyler  Texas
