Selling Your 1969 Mercedes Benz 280SE?

Let’s Talk About This Car!

Today’s classic car collectors and Mercedes Benz enthusiasts will tell you that the 1969 Mercedes Benz 280SE has consistently been praised for its expressive styling, spacious interior, and meticulous engineering – long before its convertible version ever appeared in the box-office hit The Hangover.

The Mercedes Benz 280SE hit the sport-luxury car scene in 1965 and was produced until 1971, during that time buyers from around the globe would fall in love. Perhaps the most sought after among this line is the Mercedes 280SE 3.5 convertible, which is renowned for its power and grace.

With a lower and wider grill, leather and hardwood interior, and quality engineering, these 3.5 convertible examples have only grown in popularity since their debut.

“Our conversation was short and too the point. I sent Alex some true-to-life photos of my vehicle. He made an offer. I countered. He accepted, then sent in the sum to a bank account based on the impressions he’d taken from the photos sent. Within 24 hours the $ had transferred and the logistics coordination was in motion. Other than the postpartum stemming from the end of a 40-year relationship, the entire experience was seamless. Thank you Alex.”

“From the moment I text Alex and sent pictures to him, he said ‘I want to buy your car’. He was patient after weeks of getting approval to sell the car to him. He didn’t waste any time in purchasing the car over the phone! Within minutes he sent the paperwork to sign through email and then wired the money for the car directly to the bank after all the paperwork was done. I would definitely recommend him and his company to purchase a car from you! He was very professional and to the point about how the sale was to be handled. The pickup and transport which was from Indianapolis to Beverly Hills, California was arranged on his end by his transport team and the contact was handled very smoothly.”

“Very well organized and best managed business entity that I ever came across. Any question I had they responded immediately. From the point I decided to sell the car, the transaction was handled efficiently, funds were deposited into my account, and the car was out of my garage in a matter of few hours. The price was reasonable and nothing to complain about!”

“This is going to sound too good to be true, but it is true! My parents had a 1970 Mercedes 280 that was given to my mom by my grandfather, purchased in the 70s. Over time, the car became too much of a financial burden for my parents to keep repairing and investing in. One night while google searching, I stumbled upon Alex’s website, and on somewhat of a whim, I decided to submit a request to the contact form on the site along with photos of the car, just to see what would happen. Within 30 minutes of submitting the form, I received a phone call from Alex Manos, the owner. He asked a few questions about the car and then offered to buy it. I was extremely skeptical because I couldn’t fathom why this stranger from across the country would offer to buy this old car sight unseen – just seemed sketchy and like a potential scam. But after pondering it all weekend and talking with my parents, we decided we had nothing to lose – we agreed to accept his offer. He wired the money to my mom instantly – it was in her account the next business day. Once the funds cleared, Alex’s team coordinated us mailing the title & car docs to them, and they sent a truck out within two days to pickup the car. The entire process was stress-free, seamless, the communication was excellent and clear, and Alex was respectful and professional to work with. If you have a classic car to sell, I HIGHLY recommend Alex!”

“Very fast and professional. I would sell to them again, and I would buy from them. They wired the money for the transaction so fast, I couldn’t believe it. Every step of the way they were there to help and answer questions. It could not have been any easier for me as the seller.”
