Hi, all.

I'm hoping to buy an R107 and I'm looking at some good quality mid-80s cars. There are a couple in my area - a 280SL and a 300SL.

The general consensus seems to be that the 300 is the best bet - but any guides as to why this is. Reliability? Fuel consumption? maintenance?

It'll be an everyday car, so all these issue matter.

Thanks in anticipation.
