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 sold a classic 1969 Mercedes to Alex Manos.com on March 16, 2021. The entire process of offer, counter offer and acceptance was quick and comfortable for me. I provided many (66) on-line pictures for his perusal which may have expedited the process. I included a picture of every defect I could visually locate. Along with his acceptance of my counter offer, he provided me with detailed information of what he was providing and what was required of me. He mailed me a cashier’s check (my choice) for the purchase price by next-day FedEx. He allowed for my choice of pick up date for the car in order to give me time to ensure his check to me was clear. That was reassuring and comforting to me and a big deal to me. His team kept me apprised every step of the way. His employees were superb and I was happy with the entire transaction.”

“I had a 62 Mercedes 190 SL That I had inherited from my father. The car looked to me to be in deplorable condition. I found an ad online from Alex Manos about wanting vintage vehicles like mine. After talking to Alex personally he was interested and wanted pictures of the vehicle. I sent him some pictures and he contacted me back and was interested in the car. He made me an extremely fair offer in my opinion and was very fast in sending a purchase agreement/ bill of sale and wired the money ASAP. He and his staff made the whole experience very easy on me and were very professional in every aspect of the deal. Alex is definitely a man of his word and a fair person to deal with. If I ever come across another vehicle he might be interested in I wouldn’t hesitate to deal with him and his staff again. Thank you Alex. I’m very pleased and impressed with every aspect of dealing with you and your staff.”
“Everything was great. The vehicle inspector was on time and very professional and knowledgeable. Alex’s office sent me my money into my account immediately and the funds were there 2 days before the car even left my property. Office staff sent me an email as to what to sign and where. Have done business with Alex before and nothing but smooth sailing from beginning to end.”
“Selling my classic car to Alex Manos was the easiest thing I’ve ever done! I sent him pictures, he called me, and the deal was done over the phone. The money was in my account the next business day and the car was picked up a few days later. His assistant Roxanna walked me through the signing process which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to sell or buy a classic car.”
