Selling A Classic Mercedes?
Some of the most-favored and sought after classic Mercedes-Benz automobiles are the supercharged pre-war era cars, and Mercedes convertibles into the late 1960s early 70s. The SL-Class grand tourer, manufactured since 1954, is the Sport Lightweight model. Numerous variations within the SL line can be found including engine configurations. The first generation of SL, both the Mercedes-Benz 300SL and 190SL, had their start in 1954.
Until 1963 1.9 and 3.0L, four speed manuals were produced. There were over 25,000 four cylinder 190SL Mercedes sold. If you buy or sell classic Mercedes you’ll find both coups, removable hardtops, and convertible soft tops.
The second generation was offered as a four speed automatic or manual transmission as well as a five speed manual. The engine sizes were 2.3, 2.5, or 2.8. The 230SL had big curved windows and a distinctive roofline. Around 1967 the 230SL became known as the 250SL. The engine was displaced and increased again until it became the 280SL, a favorite vintage Mercedes.

“I had a Mercedes barn find for sale (actually 2 different Mercedes) and contacted Alex. I have never sold a vehicle online before. Alex and his employees made the entire process very easy. They sent all the paperwork for us to complete, they were patient while we waited for the cashier checks to clear the bank, and then then sent someone to pick up the vehicles. They were a great group to work with and really put us at ease.”
“Dealing with Alex and his entire team was a real pleasure. I am still very busy at my business and his team helped me through the complete process. And more importantly, they were patient and understanding when I was busy. It was a real positive experience (although I miss my 250 SL a little) :-)”
“This is the 3rd classic Mercedes that Valarie Van Dam has helped with with, a true professional. I would recommend her to anyone considering selling a classic car through Alex Manos. Everything went as planned and no hassles. Made the sale on Saturday and on Monday the funds were wired to my bank then when the funds cleared the bank the transport arrived 2 days later. You don’t have to worry about someone trying to steal your classic or rip you off. Very safe transaction. Thank you to the Alex Manos team, job well done!”
