I am in Australia and need some advice. A relation who has just died in USA has,as part of his estate, a Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing upon which the insurance is us $2000.00 for six (6) months. Based on this amount, what sort of value would the car have based upon this amount? Joey

In the U.S the 300SL Gullwings are usually priced in the U.S $250,000 price range. In Australia, 300SL Gullwings command in excess of $500,000+!
Yes, very likely. Low insurance premium probably because of restricted use and special (secure) storage such as a lock-up garage.

For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling
Is Insurance at $US2000.00 per 6 month period really considered to be 'low' in USA? joey
For most cars, no -- that would be exceedingly high for most cars and drivers.
For a rare or collectible car like the 300SL Gullwing, I don't believe that it's unusually high.
Someone loan me $250,000 and I'll cut you in ;-)
I'll get my cheque book out. :-D
Yes. USD 4K is low IMO for such a valuable car, for the reasons I have already mentioned.

The Gull Wing is almost worthless in the States. I will take it off your hands for use as a door stop if you wish. Disregard the rest of these Bozos. A. Shister
You probably should have the car appraised by a professional... If you let us know where it is in the states, we might be able to point you to an appraiser?
