A few years ago my father obtained a 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL with 30,900 miles on it from an old woman, who was the first owner of the car. We've had it sitting around for years, and we've test driven it once. All that needs to be replaced is the battery, which we are doing now. I'd imagine that a 560 sl with this kind of mileage could sell for a pretty sizeable sum, especially because it is in great condition. We have both the original hard and soft top.

Could any of you give me an idea of how much we should go about selling this car for? And any tips on selling it would be appreciated as well. Thank you!
