Market commentary
Now is a good time for 190SL buyers. They shot way up in value before peaking in 2015 and softening since. When they were on the rise, they got valuable enough that people started restoring them correctly and giving them all the attention and expense they deserved. The cars that did get high-dollar restorations are the ideal ones to buy now that they are more affordable, and this result is a good example. The car clearly had a lot of money spent on it and if this was 2015 it probably would have commanded closer to 200 grand. Back in 2003 it sold for $22,680 at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale and the caliber of the restoration indicates it's had all the difference in the then and now auction results invested in making it look this way.
