The Illustrated Mercedes-Benz Buyer's Guide is an excellent resource for selecting, buying, and owning any Mercedes-Benz built between 1886 and 1998. Covering all the classics, especially from the 1930s through the 1980s, it also includes the rare factory and racing models. The author's knowledge and experience as editor of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America's award-winning magazine for 25 years allow him to authoritatively highlight the good (and not so good) features of every model, from daily driver to show car. Models covered include the sedans and coupes, SLs, finbacks, diesels, SLKs, 6.3 and 600 models, and more. Over 220 photographs plus lists of options, technical specifications, and driving impressions make this an invaluable reference as well as a very entertaining read. It's the perfect resource to help you find the car that will best fit your needs, give you great value for money, and be a joy to drive and own.
