    That's a hard choice. I'm partial to the SL, because from experience they attract a lot of attention. The 280 does have the rear seat, so if you plan on a lot of passengers, maybe that is the way to go. If it's just you and your favorite co-pilot, get the SL

    thanks everyone for the great input, im having a touch decision on this to. Because i love the idea of just having a two seater, but i know im usually the driver whenall my friends go out so the back seat is a must.

    So im torn, maybe i should just pull the trigger and get one of each !

    both GREAT cars......the SL would be a blast to roll around..good power ect...but the 280 i think looks better and is older and has 4 seats.....

    plus i think the older 280 will hold its value better/gain value better...

    Might be of interest to you.. We have a 77 450SL that we're trying to sell. It's in pretty good shape but need a few small things. We just don't drive it anymore.

    If you're interested, shoot me a PM and I'll send some pics. Only 2 seats though.

    All the old Mercs are fun so any choice and you really can't go wrong.
