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.

“Great experience working with all the staff.”
“I was at first hesitant to do business with someone so far away….. but each and every communication reassured me this was a flawless organization with which to do business. They were experienced in every step of the way, and was there to answer every question. The further the process went along the easier it got. What could have been a stressful 3-4 week process…. actually was accomplished in just a few days — all with NO glitches and No problems. How they said it would be done is how it happened. Five Stars for every aspect of this sale. I would have no problems referring anyone to Alex and his considerate & seasoned crew.”
“From my first call to Alex to the day the car was picked up to ship from Georgia to California I was very impressed with everyone l spoke to.I felt that Alex made a fair offer and the transaction was quick and efficient as well as the arrangements for transport. The assurance that the old Benz, named Gretchen by my wife, will be shown the love she deserves has mitigated the sadness I felt when I saw her disappear down the street. I wish I could see how she looks after her transformation.”
“Fast and courteous!”
“I have owned over the years five SL’s (Pagoda) plus a 1972 450SL, the last one a 1964 230SL, my favorite, I have owned for over forty years and sold to Alex left me somewhat heart broken, due to my age I decided to sell, after conversing with Alex, the sell/purchase was done in a in a timely and professional matter. If by chance a buyer/seller is looking for a professional. Alex Manos, I would highly recommend.”
