I've always loved the Mercedes SL series cars.

Recently an 83 380SL has come up for sale by me.  It's black/gray with
125,000 miles. Looks very clean in the pictures i've seen.  Having never
owned an old Merc before, would this be a car I could use everyday? When I
go look at it, what should I check for? It's at a dealer so hopefully it
will have service records but i'm not counting on it. Lastly, how much
should I expect to pay?  I was hoping I could get a great deal right before
winter. It does have the factory hard top on the car right now.  And if
there is anything else you can add about the 380SL, i'd love to learn as
much as I can. Thanks.
