“My dad purchased his 280SL Mercedes when I turned 16 in 1984, so that I could have his old car to drive. He drove the car for the next 26 years before his untimely death in 2010. My mom knew that I loved the car and gave it to me. As my kids began to start driving and more cars became needed at our home, the Mercedes was not getting the love that it needed. I didn’t want to sell it, but I hated the idea of it not being used for someone’s complete enjoyment. I found a local place to sell the car, but the price offered was far too low for the quality of the car. 2 years later I was looking through my Mercedes information and found an ad that I had saved about Alex Manos. I called, thinking nothing would come of it. By the first phone call, I was sending him pictures. By the second phone call, he was offering to buy my car. By the third phone call, I was giving him bank information for a sale of the car. By the fourth phone call, I was finalizing pick up of the car with his completely wonderful transportation company. This was such an emotional situation for me, to part with the only “hobby” that my Dad had. Alex and the people that work for him made it painless. The best part for me? I couldn’t find the car on his website about 3 weeks later and to me-that means someone is enjoying it, hopefully in the California sun, driving around happy with their new purchase. That just feels good to me and makes me smile! Thank you Alex and team!”
“We were very reticent to sell our Mercedes 230 SL on an internet deal. We are naturally skeptical, so we did our homework on Alex Manos and his company. Everything looked great and we went ahead with the sale. We couldn’t be more pleased. The sale went quickly and easily and they made sure we were comfortable with the process at every step of the way. Even though our car had been stored outside under a tarp for 30 years, we agreed on a price that was fair to all. They really mean it when they say they’ll take a car in any condition. Their people came to transport the car, and were able to get it out of a tight situation. We waved goodbye to her as she went down the road on a flatbed, no dry eyes. Got a car to sell? Can’t do better then Alex Manos.”
“Smooth transaction. Thank you.”
“We agreed on a fair price and our transaction took place 110 miles from his showroom. He arranged for pickup and payment with paperwork completed in 15 minutes. Jamie, the driver was professional, courteous and helpful. It was a true pleasure conducting business with this company. I would highly recommend Alex to many of my friends as I belong to a collector car club.”
“After few minor hicks-ups, we got the deal completed today flawlessly. Very satisfied with selling Alex a Mercedes SL in as-is condition for a friend.”
“Selling the old Mercedes convertible was a sentimental decision. Decades ago, we brought our first born home in that car. Alex made the transaction easy and conflict-free. Truly a pleasant experience.”
“His was response to my inquiry was quick. He had a driver pick up my car the same day and the transaction was professional, easy and smooth.”
“I have to admit I was uncomfortable about doing business with someone on the other side of the country over the internet. Alex with his availability and professionalism eased those feelings and our transaction couldn’t have gone better. The transportation company as well, with their communication and consideration of our schedule gets 5-Stars!”
