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.”

“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 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.”
