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 recently sold my 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet to Alex Manos. From the beginning of our negotiations Alex was forthright and honest. I was very pleased with the price that we eventually agreed upon. Having done my research I realized that this was a more than fair market value. Alex immediately booked a flight and arrived on my doorstep early the following day. Talk about prompt service! Alex was kind, courteous and professional. I immediately felt at ease. This meant a lot since I had been going through some very difficult life challenges.
I had owned the Mercedes for seventeen years and it had been in the family for forty years. It was originally purchased from a dealership in Hollywood. I was happy to see it returning to California and specifically to Alex Manos! Thank you Alex. Blessings upon you.”
“Alex – It was such a pleasure…I am still glowing. I thought for sure there would be a problem before it was all done. When my office manager emailed me to say the check was locked in her desk drawer I couldn’t believe it… Everyone came out winner, and what more can one ask for.”
“It was a pleasure doing business with you. Your response was quick, polite and professional. The car was picked up on time, even though I cry a little that it is gone. Hope you find a careful buyer for this timeless car.”
“Ok, so this is my second transaction within two weeks with Alex. He absolutely comes through with what he says. The transaction was done without any problems. Everyone involved was professional, polite, and did what they said they would do. Allison is exceptional!”
“My experience with Alex Manos as regards his purchasing my car was a completely positive one. Alex and his staff were extremely responsive and very patient with some of the details that were required on my end. I felt that Alex was more than fair and his assistant Allison was efficient and helpful. This is a professional operation and I would recommend them to anyone without reservation.”
“Probably the easiest, fastest and most pleasant sale of anything, ever. Very glad I found Alex as I was at a loss as to how to sell my antique Mercedes. Easy transaction, the gentleman who picked it up was lovely, had all the paperwork ready. Highly recommend (especially after trying craigslist *shudder* which was horrendous). Total time between contacting Alex and car pickup was 4 days. Absolutely a piece of cake!”
“The whole deal from start to finish was smooth. I never bought or sold a car so quickly and with no problems. I highly recommend Alex to anyone wanting to sell their classic car.”
“Hello Alex. Doing business with you was a pleasure. You were a man of your word, you gave me a very fair price for my fathers vintage Mercedes. The process of payment was seamless and you took care of all of the shipping details. I am happy this car is going to a good home. Thank you very much, and I wish you well.”
