Selling A 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5?
The 1971 Mercedes Benz 280SE 3.5, particularly the convertible, was a car that really defined the era. First debuted at the 1969 Frankfurt Auto Show, the 3.5 coupes & convertibles were a final launch in a long line of exceptional autos which started with the 220SE in 1961. The fact that Mercedes would not offer another four-seat convertible until 1992 with the E320 cabriolet only increased the draw to these cars.
It may come as no surprise that a high price tag also accompanied these models, and made finding and purchasing a 280SE 3.5 even more difficult. In total, the 1971 Mercedes Benz 280SE 3.5 saw 1,232 cabriolets produced, with approximately 802 of those being exported from Germany to the United States. Well-known owners included Ralph Lauren and David Gooding. Whether it was the performance, the rarity, the reliability and practicality, or the unparalleled charm that drew you to the 1971 Mercedes 280SE 3.5, the team at Alex Manos knows that sometimes you have to sell.

“I just sold my 2003 Mercedes Benz SL 55 AMG to Alex after owning it for 19 years. Many of my Friends recommended Adds or Bring a Trailer, but that worried me and it sounded like asking for trouble.I came across on the internet with one of Alex ads for Porsche cars and decided to call to see if he would be interested in my Mercedes, I spoke to him personally and he said Yes! Best decision I have made selling a car instead of trading in at dealers or selling by owner. The whole process was easy, fair, fast and efficient. I would highly recommend dealing with Alex and his staff. In fact, I was so satisfied that I will call him first, when I decide to sell my 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe. Forget Bring a Trailer!”
