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.

“Alex made the selling of my ’66 230SL as easy as it could have been. Based on pictures alone, he offered an acceptable price, FedExed a cashiers check, and had the car picked up. Certainly superior to my having to display it to a series of people and take “best offer”.”
“Alex was fair and made the transaction very easy. Professional and honest to deal with.”
“I hope to see this beautiful pice of history returned to its original form one day. With the right time and dedication this can be a beautiful investment and time lapse into history. I would like to thank Alex Manos for giving this gorgeous car a second chance at life. Thank You and a pleasure doing business.”
“We decided to sell our 1969 280SL after owning the car since 1976. I visited Alex’s website on Sunday afternoon to explore the interest. Alex called me Monday morning and made a fair offer to purchase our vehicle. We accepted his offer Tuesday and he immediately wired the funds. I have never had such a good experience buying or selling a car! Alex made a fair offer and there was no hassle–very professional!”
“Alex, you present yourself as the most honest and professional classic car buyer on the web and you did not disappoint. My dealings with you were pleasant, efficient and professional. You offered me the best price for the car and did exactly what you said you would, making the transaction painless. Thank you again!”
“Alex: It was a pleasure doing business with you and again, please accept my heartfelt thanks for an easy, pleasant and stress free transaction.”
“Alex you’re very nice and professional. I can’t believe how quickly the whole business was transacted. You gave me the price I asked and everything was hassle-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone. I can just picture it rolling down the highway in beautiful California!”
“Alex is a true professional and a man of his word. The day following our “Handshake” a cashiers check arrived along with the requisite paperwork to be returned in a pre-paid Fedex envelope. The check cleared the following morning and my 1969 280 SL was picked up the following day. It was a true pleasure dealing with him and his staff. I would definitely recommend him to others.”
