    Oh brilliant, a 2000 SL500 with 34,000 miles goes to auction with no reserve, and somehow that’s news. Shocking. Next you’ll tell me a car with a removable hardtop is a convertible. The only thing that surprises me is that anyone still needs a press release to find out that a well-kept R129 sells for whatever the bidders are feeling that day. Honestly, I’d have been more impressed if they’d bothered to explain why.

    Ah yes, a 2000 R129 SL500 with 34,000 miles, “well-kept”, sold with no reserve. Translation: the seller has made peace with whatever number the internet decides to give it. Nothing says “I love my car” like letting strangers bid it down to the price of a decent hatchback. And that removable hardtop? Lovely. Another part to lose, store and pretend you’ll reinstall one dark November morning in Stockport.
