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.

“Being a novice at selling a classic car, I was very impressed with Alex Manos and his staff. In the past I had heard that he was very fair and honest, and now, I can attest too. Prior to contacting Mr. Manos, I had a rough idea of what I thought my car was worth. He gave me that and more!”
“I have sold Alex 2 antique cars, a 49 RR and 75 MBZ. Alex is a stand-up guy. The whole experience was great! I highly recommend Alex. This was so easy, picked the car up exactly on time and paid immediately. Thanks again!”
“Selling to Alex was as simple as it could possibly be! We ent photos and we agreed on a price right away and he sent a certified check immediately. We waited for the check to clear and then the vehicle was picked here in NC and shipped to his dealership in California! Very Professional and great customer service!”
“Sale of my 190SL to Alex’s company went flawlessly–all of his assistants for transferring titles, bill of sales, and arranging for transportation were very competent and professional. In fact, they made it easy! I would not hesitate to recommend his company to anyone wishing to sell a classic vehicle; he and his organization are completely trustworthy, a trait often sought but not always found!”
“The experience was great!!!! Easy to deal with. Everything went very smooth and easy. Look forward to future dealing.”
“The whole process was super-easy and fast.”
“9-13-17 I recently sold my beloved 1965 Mercedes SL 230 to Alex Manos. Alex was very prompt with 4 phone calls and 4 follow up e-mails. Alex did everything he said he was going to do and the funds were wired to my bank within hours. After we agreed upon a price I told him there were blemishes and some rust on the rear wheel wells and his reply was, “Rick, the only time you will ever hear from me is if you have another car for sale!” I then said, the car has been sitting in my garage and probably could use a new battery and should I drain the gas and his reply was, ” Rick, if it makes you feel better, by all means go ahead, but it isn’t necessary!” After those two comments, I knew I was dealing with a Pro!”
“My experience with Alex was beyond what I expected. First he let me explain what I had to offer and we came to an agreement to the price almost immediately. The check arrived a couple of days later. Alex, his assistant and the transport treated us so well that I would recommend them to anyone.”
