The twelve newest sales in the book, all generations and gearboxes. “vs value” compares each sale to today’s figure for a typical example; a low-mileage or rarer car sells above it, a high-mileage car below.

How this car is valued

RevFolio holds 50 completed sales of the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing from Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids and Mecum, dated Dec 16, 2022 to Oct 19, 2026, 19 of them in the last twelve months. When each of those sales was hidden from the engine and valued on the sales before it, 44% came within 20% of the real price, and the typical miss was 20.7%. The likely range printed above held 80% of those held-out sales.

Mileage moves this car by 3.0% per 10,000 miles on the matched sales. The median sale of the last twelve months is 98% below the twelve before it. Sales of this model disagree with each other too widely for a single figure to be reliable, so RevFolio publishes the calibrated range and the sales behind it, and no point.

The engine keeps gearboxes apart where the sales show they price apart, reads each listing for disclosed damage, modifications and conversions, fits a mileage curve on the matched sales and weights the newest sales most. Every report prints the sales it used.
