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.

“We recently sold Alex a 1969 280SL. His procedure for purchasing the car was flawless. After receiving the funds via a bank wire transfer, I sent confirmation that we had indeed received the funds.. After that and only then did he send a transport vehicle to pick the car up in Florida for delivery to California. The process was as easy as you would ever imagine. I’m very glad that the 280SL is in good hands, THANK YOU ALEX!”

“The transaction process was amazing and magic. After I sent Alex 3 photos of my 1957 190SL Mercedes-Benz, he immediately emailed me with a GOOD FOR 24 HOURS OFFER (AS IS without inspection and paid immediately). I accepted it and a certified cashier’s check was received next day via FedEx. The car was then picked up few days later. I have to say that Alex Manos and his group are real antique car professionals with my sincere appreciation.”
“My transaction was unbelievable. I began talking with Alex on Friday about selling my 1969 280SL and it was on the tractor trailer on Tuesday afternoon headed for California. The money was deposited to my account by Monday morning. Several people stopped by the tractor trailer to watch it being loaded up. My transaction was smooth, professional, and easy. I would do it again.”
