500SL v 320SL AGAIN......!

[harveyj]

Hello all

I have found two good SLs after looking at a fair few. Both are 2000 models and both tick all the right boxes I think. They are not far off pricewise at 11 grand for the 320 ( tiptop silver ) and 12 grand for the 500 ( iffy red ). It will not be heavily used but will be a daily driver. Not bothered about the fuel issues.

Heres the rub, any help from members as to what they would do ?

THANKS

Harvey

Hi Harvey,,welcome

What a question, I had a silver 320 fully loaded and what a nice car that was, now I have a 230 SL500 and the difference in power is amazing, drive both, there is not that much difference in fuel consumption the 320 did on a run up to 32 and the 500 up to 29.9 around town its 23 and 20 respective

Your choice, great cars

Is depreciation a factor that is important?

So far, as you can see, the 500 has depreciated most and my view is that will continue.

I would be choosing the 320.
