Re: [MBZ] Mecum Auction BP

Unless otherwise specified, these vehicles all have a reserve price.  I've
seen really clean early 2000s SLs sell for under $10 K with under 100k
miles.  The Mecum bidding universe is heavily tilted toward American cars,
which increases your odds of picking up a Benz Bargain.
