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.

“Dealing with Alex Manos was one of the best experiences of my 69 year old live! I am not exaggerating, everything went smother than I ever expected. The agreed purchase price was in my checking account the same day!! I needed the Car picked up ASAP. I was picked up the next day. I still can not believe how efficient Alex operation is. I was a true pleasure to work with him and his staff. Sincerely, Olaf.”
“Working with Alex’s team was a breeze. From negotiations to shipment , it could not believe how easy and organized they were. They rock!”
“Awesome experience,highly recommend doing business with Mr Alex.and his people. True pleasure.”
“This has been one of the best and easiest transactions I’ve encountered. I called Alex and he was quick to respond and we made the deal. Whatever he said he was going to do he did, and I must say it was swift and I felt very much at ease dealing with him. The money was wired when he said it would and the car was picked up on time and flat-bedded away.”
“I had a (somewhat) classic Mercedes that had been sitting in my garage unused for years. After discussing it with my wife, we decided it was time to let it go. In researching online for value and best way to market it, I came across the web page for Alex, and sent them an email. Alex responded, and expressed interest in purchasing the vehicle. I sent him pictures, and although he is in LA and I was in the San Francisco area, he had a friend nearby, who came, and gave Alex an on-site report. After a little back and forth, we agreed on a price, and verbally shook hands on the deal. Within 24 hours, money was transferred into my account, and was contacted by both his title people and shipper. The entire process couldn’t have been any less stress free, and I would strongly recommend Alex to anyone considering selling a vehicle.”
“Excellent selling experience. Alex and everyone we talked with and worked with were professional and courteous.”
“My experience with Alex couldn’t have been easier, especially under the circumstances. My husband told me before he passed away, “call Alex Manos and sell my 280 SL”. Alex was sensitive to my situation and professional at the same time. One hr later, the car was picked up, the funds put into my bank acct., and I was satisfied my husband’s request was met. Thank you again Alex.”
“Dealt directly with Alex. The smoothest trouble free transaction in my 45 year business career.”
