About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Decent older paint with a large chip under the driver's door. Good, very lightly worn interior. Tidy but unrestored underneath. A good enough older cosmetic redo, but nothing to write home about.

Market commentary

An auction veteran with a $126,360 sale at Mecum Kissimmee in 2014, $97,900 at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas in 2016 and $104,500 at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale last year. Prices for 190SLs have been retreating for a couple of years now after being inflated during 2014 and 2015, but this car is bucking the trend with this massive result despite its imperfect condition. A very successful day for the seller, and the new owner will have to be satisfied with telling friends and neighbors that this was a record price for this 190SL. That is scant compensation for paying far too much.
