About the SL Market Letter

The SLML is essentially subscriber financed research into the myths and realities of the collectible Mercedes-Benz marketplace.

Covering SL models, as well as all low production "niche" models, subscribers receive:

For sellers, an exceptional audience - our readers are the most 'intensive' M-B enthusiasts in the USA and 11 other countries (at last count).
For buyers, a pre-screened "collation" of Mercedes offering; highest priority on SLs and the most collectible "niche" models of each decade, with automatic purging to avoid deadwood.
The most detailed M-B price trends anywhere, now based on 17 years of trends analysis using a system that critiques its' own accuracy every six months.
Candid slants on all Mercedes-Benz news, the marketplace, the cars, the company, and the clubs that serve our favorite marque.

Founded in 1982 by John R. Olson, the SL Market Letter is the world's premier publication for aficionados of Mercedes' most collectible cars and is published 16 to 18 times per year. It is not affiliated with any car manufacturer or automotive club. In addition to helping you buy or sell a Mercedes, the SLML includes objectively written advice on which models tend to be more collectible, and why. Every six months a comprehensive price trends report draws on (what is now) the world's largest database on the rarer M-B models. For example, issue 248 includes a table showing the current average asking prices for all SLC and SEC models from 1971 through 1995, in any of six levels of condition. Information in the SLML is unavailable elsewhere, and is invaluable to anyone thinking of buying a Mercedes as an investment. To quote one current subscriber:

"...without SLML's information on the 300b Cabriolets, I could've easily missed a significant investment opportunity. Your market letter advice on buying and selling made a $9,000 difference to me. Thank you."
