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.

“Our experience working with Alex was excellent. He sent a rep to look over the cars we were selling and after the price was agreed to, his office arranged the shipping of the vehicles immediately. The sum agreed to was wired to our account even before the cars left our garage. We only wish we had more cars to sell to Alex!”

“The process of selling a classic car can be difficult. Alex Manos and his team of experts made everything seamless from start to finish. Alex himself is extremely easy to work with. Every promise made was a promise kept. Without any doubt, should I have another classic car to sell, I would most definitely choose Alex Manos.”

“You know, I am not sure I would call my interactions with the Alex Manos Group a ‘customer service’ contact but rather a ‘customer focused’ contact. Parting with my beloved 27 year-owned 1988 Mercedes Benz 560SL roadster was one of the potentially toughest tasks I have faced in a long time. But Valarie Van Dam and the team (thanks Salina, Camille and Derek) were so personal, professional and efficient that I immediately felt like one of the family. How many car transactions fall into that category….none in my decades on earth. The transaction, the pricing, the follow up, the paperwork, the transportation arrangements from the East Coast to LA…..all flawlessly handled. I am anxious for my 560 to find a new home and I am sure this team will do just that. I have not spoken with Alex but I can truly say that he has built a fine organization based on what we as clients want….honesty, transparency, efficiency and a caring attitude. Thank you Valarie for spearheading this transaction as you took a stressful moment in my life and made it somehow pleasant….amazing! I highly recommend Valarie and the entire team to be your ‘go to’ for classic car transactions!”

“I corresponded only with Valerie, Tina and Derek. The driver who did the pick up was really personable, good and helpful. I took me 6 months to decide to sell, but at my age I needed to pass my project along to a new owner. I was treated very well by the company.

“I’m in my mid 70’s and I knew deep down I was never going to get these 3 cars running again which I neglected for many years after I purchased an older boat. They were a 69 and 70 Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 and and 86 Mercedes 560SEC. Alex agreed to purchase all 3 with very little haggling. I probably didn’t get top dollar for the cars but the transaction was very easy and I really needed the space in my garage and at my commercial property. I got what I asked and was promptly sent the monies even before the cars were picked up. His staff was very professional about getting all the paperwork done and arranging the transportation. In less than 2 weeks after my initial call to Alex, the cars were picked up and shipped from Everett, WA to Los Angeles. Selling these cars has given me a lot of peace of mind.”

“After my father’s passing I became the new owner of a classic car – a 1966 Mercedes-Benz – and it seemed that everyone had advice for me on its value, and how I should go about selling it. The only voice of reason through the whole process was Alex Manos. Alex and his team make the experience of selling a classic car straightforward and easy. When life got busy and I didn’t return Alex’s email, he would call me to follow-up. Alex had answers for every one of my questions, and when we made the deal, the money was wired to our account within minutes. Of all of the issues I had to work through during the settling of my father’s estate, selling his classic car was the easiest and most positive experience, all thanks to Alex and his team. If you’re wondering whether to work with Alex Manos to buy or sell your classic car, I recommend him highly. An absolutely frictionless experience, from beginning to end. Thank you Alex & team!”

“When it was time to sell a classic project car, Alex gave me the best offer, provided all of the paperwork, made all of the arrangements for shipping, and paid me in less than a day. I couldn’t get over and smooth and easy everything was. I would happily sell to them again!”
