In the US, there was a big power difference between the early 80s 380 and the late 80s 560.

The 560, for example, was tested by most mags 0-60 in upper 6 second range.

The 81 380 was closer to 10 seconds (or more, sometimes), or at least mid to upper 9s.

I think Mercedes didn't really have the US smog laws dialed in until the 560 era.

I agree they are great cars that will go up in value. But at this time, they are all fairly inexpensive, which is why I would hold out for the 560.
