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.

“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!”
“Excellent service at every level. From my initial contact with Alex through the pickup of my vehicle here in Tulsa OK. No gaps. No irritants. All positive interactions with his staff. Well done!”
“Alex has a very efficient and streamlined process for buying cars. Once I decided to sell my 1978 450sl, I was sent paperwork to sign and had money in my account the same day. My car was picked up the next day. Everyone I dealt with was always friendly and professional. I would recommend Alex Manos to all my classic car friends.”
“Went to the website and downloaded some pictures of my car. I’ve bought a few cars from them and was familiar with the process. After about 15 minutes I had sold my car. Very easy and transparent. Alex works with you and his team had all the paperwork and payment before end of day. Very satisfied with this transaction.”
“Discussed the car with Alex, made a deal. Next day the money was in the bank. The car was picked up by a respectable hauler. Deal done, I am very pleased.”
“I helped a friend sell her 1963 Mercedes-Benz 230SL to Alex Manos. He was great to deal with through the whole transaction, from agreeing on a price to the pickup of the car. Made it very easy for us. I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Remarkable…I tried to assure Alex of the condition of the car after 8 years in the garage ad he was totally understanding of the many problems that may exist and he was very positive that he understood the “unknowns” but was willing to take the risk and purchased my 1970 280SL sight unseen at a very respectable price. He brings a refreshing new image to the long held general perception that automobile agencies can’t be trusted.”
