1986 560SL cost new?

Somewhere I saw a post that this car cost $58,000 new. Seems high - could that be in today's dollars?

Bill,

According to MBNA's price lists, the prices of the 560 SL were as follows.

As of November 1, 1985:

560 SL, Price, East and Gulf Coasts: $48,200 560 SL, Price, West Coast: $48,600

There were only three options at extra cost:

Orthopedic Backrest, Right Manual: $75 Orthopedic Backrest, Left Manual: $75 Heated Seats: $385

As of February 18, 1986:

560 SL, Price, East and Gulf Coasts: $51,000 560 SL, Price, West Coast: $51,420

There were only three options at extra cost:

Orthopedic Backrest, Right Manual: $80 Orthopedic Backrest, Left Manual: $80 Heated Seats: $405

As of May 15, 1986:

560 SL, Price, East and Gulf Coasts: $53,300 560 SL, Price, West Coast: $53,730

There were only three options at extra cost:

Orthopedic Backrest, Right Manual: $85 Orthopedic Backrest, Left Manual: $85 Heated Seats: $420

If you take a West Coast price from the May price list and add all options, you'll get $54,420. After taxes, $58,000 doesn't seem that unreasonable.

Best regards, Danny
