“From settling on price, to receiving payment and arranging pickup the service was excellent- highly professional.”
“Prior to his recent passing, my uncle gave me some final instructions. Among those were to “sell the cars”. He had restored many cars and notably were the Austin Healey 3000’s. I contacted Alex and after a pleasant negotiation, a fair price was arrived at for two restored cars and a disassembled 1966 model. Quick payment followed by very efficient transportation services followed. It was great to deal with an experienced team who knows their business. I can now tell the family that the cars will find a good home.”
“This guy is no joke. He kept his word. I made a proposal he made a counter and the deal was sealed. Wish there was more people like him, he’s very professional and courteous. Definitely do business again if i got the chance. If his success was based on his word I would say give this guy a 10.”
“Alex was a compassionate professional when he was looking to purchase my fathers 911 that was handed down to me. It was truly a smooth transaction – from Alex, to Allison, to the driver who picked up the vehicle. Thank you Alex for keeping the legacy 911’s alive and well in your hands. All the best!!”
“I had a wonderful experience. I spoke with Alex having two short professional discussions on two separate occasions. He is NOT the quintessential used car salesman. I’ve experienced nothing like it before. He is the kind of person you need to deal with if you are selling a classic car. He asked for pictures and I sent what I had on my computer. I answered his questions and told him there would be no problem if he needed more. The next morning we made a deal over the phone. I was planning to wholesale the car and the offer he made was generous. An hour later the money we discussed was wire transferred to my account and the car was picked up the very next morning. My head was spinning at how flawlessly and quickly the deal happened. The pick up driver was courteous, knowledgeable and called ahead of time giving me time to get things ready. From Sunday to Tuesday morning SLAM DUNK!”
“Alex made this transaction go very smoothly, everything happened as planned, no problems, l would recommend Alex to any collectors I know that may want to let go of a toy or two!”
“Great experience, easy to recommend.”
“I would highly recommend Alex to anyone even considering selling their vehicle. I sent pics of my 72 Pantera and Alex contacted me within hours and made me a very fair offer. I was skeptical at first but after researching him, I talked to Alex again, we agreed on a price, and I had a cashier check 2 days later. The entire process was very pleasant and hassle free. Allison went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable with every step. I would definitely sell to Alex again!”
“From the time I reached out to Alex, had a written offer from him, to my agreement and the wire transfer of the agreed upon amount into my account was less than 48 hours. AMAZING! A very professional, efficient and pleasant operation, it could not have been easier and secure. Thrilled with the 5 STAR experience!!!”
“Alex’s business is efficiently run. The people that work are polite and the follow up on a transaction is fast and accurate. I would recommend Alex Manos and company to anyone interested in buying or selling a classic car.”
“My experience in dealing with Alex Manos has been a refreshing experience. Alex has been up front and transparent. Everything was done in a concise and professional manner.”
“Selling my car was a very emotional issue. Alex was extremely professional in his negotiations and subsequent f/u. He explained everything clearly and was was very easy to deal with.”
“Alex had called in regards to an upcoming auction with 3 Porches on one of my auctions. Very good to work with and paid top dollar! Great staff to work with, paid in full and picked the cars in a timely fashion and would do business with his company anytime!”
“I was referred to Alex by local Maserati dealer, with the intention of paying for a professional appraisal of our 1966 Maserati Mistral 4000, which we had owned since 1972. After a brief discussion, Alex expressed an interest in buying the car — and after seeing pictures (interior and exterior), he made a “sight unseen” cash offer which we believe could not be exceeded without a considerable sales effort. Alex either took the phone, returned all phone calls, or responded to emails promptly and professionally. There were no misunderstandings, the funds came exactly as promised, and the car was picked up in our rural location right on time. The process was seamless and hassle-free. If we had another classic car to sell, I would definitely contact Alex before anyone else.”
“Very enjoyable and efficient.”
“I found the transaction to be professional and hassle free. Alex was courteous and true to his word. A check was wired to my account immediately and I overnighted the title to him as soon as the funds cleared. All was done in a matter of a few hours.”
“Alex made the entire process very easy. It was very difficult for me to leg go of my Porsche, through the entire, simple process he made sure I felt comfortable with everything. If you are wanting to sell your car, I cant think of any better way or business. Extremely professional.”
“Alex was very professional in his interaction, yet had a personal approach to the transactions he and I were working on. While Alex was business-like and to the point, he still was considerate of my situation and did what he could to make this transaction as care free as possible”
“I’ve never sold a car as quickly and easy. I sent pictures and brief description of my car and got a call from Alex within 90 minutes. We agreed on a price and the money was wired into my account while we where still on the phone. Whole process took 10 minutes. His transport people called me later that same day and the car was picked up the following day. I strongly recommend doing business with Alex Manos.”
“It was Hassel-Free, quick and easy as well. Professional, Polite and Pleased.”
“I found working Alex Manos to be as easy as advertised. I called the number on the website and within moments I was speaking with Alex Manos himself! Alex was the only person I talked to while selling the car, a 1964 Austin Healey 3000 MK II. He asked for some pictures, asked a couple questions then asked what I wanted for the car. He immediately sent me an e-mail with his offer, which I believe was a very fair deal. I agreed. Then some very simple paperwork and the car was picked up at my house 2 days later. The whole experience was professional, polite, and it was gratifying knowing where the car was going.”
“Extremely professional. After trying to sell a car to some wingnuts that put deposits on the car, but didn’t have cash, it was a relief to deal with such a professional organization. No hassles, everything was easy and clear.”
“The sale of my Austin Healey 100-4 to Alex was a pleasant experience from start to end. Naturally, we went back and forth a few times before the final price was decided but from there on everything was smooth sailing. I received the check and paperwork the next day and his load coordinator contacted me a few days later to arrange shipping the car. The transport driver was fantastic, we scheduled a time and place to meet and he picked the car up on a Saturday in the pouring rain. I would recommend Alex to anyone who has a classic car to sell.”
“Alex, selling my ’74 BMW 3.0CSa to you, Allison’s detailed communications to me, and the follow-up work of the transport coordinators of PJ & Marci was an absolute joy – you all delivered what you said, including the money deposited to my bank… in a very timely manner. And Igor, the transport driver, is a patient and calm man who tackled one obstacle after another to load the car, never getting frustrated. You and your team’s “actions spoke louder than words”, a rare experience in the car dealer business. I have no reservations about referring you and your staff of professionals to anyone thinking of selling their Classic car. Also, I enjoyed visiting your website to view your large selection of American & European cars for sale… it is easy to navigate. Thanks to all your staff for the great service!”
“Quick, easy, painless.”
“Alex was very easy to work with and made selling our car quick and easy. All transactions were over the phone and via email. It was a very easy and simple process.”
“I was very pleased with the quick response from Alex once I sent pictures of my Porsche to him. In less than one week, I had sold my car, received my check and It was picked up. The way Alex expedited all the correspondence was very professional and I would highly recommend Alex without hesitation.”
“I recently sold Alex my 1967 Mark 2 Jaguar that I had owned for 28 years. While it was hard to part with this beautiful machine, Alex made the transaction extremely simple. Dealing with Alex and his staff was second to none in terms of professionalism and customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend Alex to help you part with a vehicle that you no longer need. Thanks Alex, it was a great experience!”
“Alex & Company are exceedingly good at organizing the sale, so that it completely painless. Everything went so smoothly, it was unbelievable. Communication was timely and told me exactly what to expect and what I needed to do to facilitate things. It was a pleasure doing business with Alex, and would do it again in a heartbeat.”
“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!”
“Very professional and helpful in making a smooth transaction. Followed through with everything they said they would.”
“Alex was very easy and pleasant to conduct business with and due to that I sold two Porsche’s to his business. The entire process was clean and easy and took about 2 hours from start to finish. Ivan was a perfect gentleman which made things even better and I got a very Fair price to seal the deal!”
“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.”
“Alex was very professional, and the entire process was exactly as Alex described. We sold our 1987 BMW M6 after submitting a request on his website and having a brief discussion over the phone. Originally, I was skeptical of the idea, but I felt very comfortable after Alex explained how it would work. I’m very satisfied and would recommend this to friends and associates.”
“The best experience I have ever had selling a classic Car. Staff is professional, responsive and very polite!! Alex was a pleasure to do business with.”
“It was quick and easy. Money was fed ex’d – Quickly. Very satisfied!”
“Sale was very simple! My Father has carried this car around the country in order to refurbish for many yrs. I was very gratful to find Alex and move this great vehicle to find someone that would put her into her true form. My only wish is that I can see her refinished.”
“It is important to know that the continued joy of driving a Porsche will continue w/ Alex Manos – through new ownership. From beginning conversations to final transport everything went smoothly. My best to you and those that are part of the team.”
“Smooth transaction. Thank you.”
“My experience with Mr. Manos was a very pleasant experience selling my beautiful 1972 911s porsche. Mr.Manos it was a pleasure doing business with you.”
“Alex offered me a fair price and the transaction went smoothly.”
“What a great experience to work with Alex and his whole team. The whole transaction could not have been handled in a more professional manner from start to finish.”
“The sale went very smooth.”
“Selling my 65 Mustang convertible to Alex was extremely easy. We agreed on a price on Monday. On Tuesday I had a cashiers check for the agreed upon amount. When deposited, my bank told me the cashiers check was good, no problem. My communications with Allison, Alex’s assistant and P.J., Alex’s shipping coordinator were all positive. The car was picked up the following Monday, with the trucking and cost taken care of by Alex. Overall it was any easy and positive selling experience.”
“Excellent customer service, quick responses, sale was fast and easy.”
“Very pleased with the professionalism & speed in which Alex worked with me. Really very few glitches!!!”
“Quick and easy transaction. No issues at all. It was time for me to sell my older Porsche and Alex made it so simple. Payment wired to my account while I was on the phone with him. Done deal!”
“Quick, fast and fair.”
“My wife and I were thinking about selling our classic 1969 Jaguar XKE Roadster that we had owned for 10 years and completely restored. One day we were pricing the classic Jags online and ran across the website for Alex Manos. I called the number and left my phone number. Alex called back the same day and asked me to sent him some updated pictures of the Jag. We emailed back and forth and reached an agreement on the selling price after a final phone call from Alex. The money was transferred to our bank account the next day. The documents were emailed to us to sign online and sent back. We mailed the title to him the same day. Since we were on the east coast in Virginia the car was picked up a week later. The whole process was very professional, trusting, friendly and easy to process for us. We would recommend Alex Manos for anyone looking to sell their classic auto.”
“Been a dealer for thirty years when decided to retire called Alex first with idea of letting go of a jag we had for many years. He was fair with price paid immediately and removed his car very quickly and efficiently! If your selling a classic sell it to someone with class!! Will definitely call again!”
“The transaction we experienced with Alex Manos for the sale of our 1981 DeLorean could not have been easier nor more professional. They fulfilled every promise they made and each and every member of their team with whom we worked were great. They even went above and beyond their promises to accommodate our schedule when we had to leave town before a pickup of our vehicle could be arranged. The whole transaction went as smooth as silk, and we are most grateful.”
“I am so pleased with our experience. My brother passed away leaving behind his ’60 Alfa that he had had for decades. He always planned to renovate it, but sadly passed 3 months before retirement. For us to know that this car he loved is going to get a second chance at restoration means a lot to us. Such an easy transaction process and pick up was great too. Thank you Alex.”
“Entire operation was very professional. No hassles and real easy.”
“My dealings were flawless and very professional. The transaction and payment was rapid and communication was excellent.”
“Great Experience, Top Dollar Paid!”
“Alex made my decision to part with my classic car easier than I imagined it could be. After 18 years, I was ready to move on but needed an outside source to encourage me. We had only one conversation during which Alex mentioned a number that I declined. He prompted me to find my comfort zone, and within a minute or two, we came to an agreement. Within 16 hours I received a Cashier’s Check for the agreed-to amount with a gentle step-by-step checklist on what needs to happen next. Paperwork was simple, guided by his assistant. I will find a way to work with Alex again, either as a buyer or seller!”
“What an awesome experience! From our first phone call, friendly price, settling on a price that we were both happy, everything went super smoothly, and (best of all) the money was in my account the next morning and car collected a couple of days later. Super transaction, smooth and friendly. I can’t recommend Alex and his great support team highly enough.”
“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.”
“I was treated in very professional and courteous fashion. Certified payment for my vehicle was prompt. The amount of payment for my vehicle was fair. I felt a personal concern was extended by all the people I dealt with in this whole transaction. It is great to feel Not Ripped Off in the fast-paced world we live in.”
“When I first called Alex I expected the usual car dealer guy talk… Not with Alex! He was interested in my car right away and quick with the transaction. I also felt I got a very fair amount as well. This is a person with good business ethics and a pleasure to deal with.”
“Alex you exceeded my expectations on the sale of my 1967 Austin Healey 3000 Mark III BJ8. Your offer was very fair and your check was in my account within 24 hours. Your transportation people were courteous, quick and efficient in picking up and loading the car for transport. You have an excellent administrative support team that made this transaction smooth and hassle free. A great customer experience!!!!”
“Alex was a pleasure to work with. I was sad to see the car go but happy it went to such a wonderful company.”
“I recently sold three Austin Healeys to Alex Manos. It began with a phone call on Saturday, pictures sent and deal closed, cashier checks in hand and cars picked up by Tuesday!”
“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.”

“I was hesitant to call Alex but once I did the selling process was very easy and professional. Everything went as he said it would , all I had to do was clean out my personal items and wait for pick up.”
“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.”
“I emailed Alex because I had some vehicles to sell and always saw his ads looking for cars. It was easier than I could have ever thought. Alex called me himself and worked out a more than fair deal. Super fast, quick with the funds, and professional transportation.”
“I was quite surprised at how easy it was to sell my Mustang. Alex made the purchase process almost too good to be true. We agreed on a price, which was a great price for my 65 Mustang Fastback. He then overnighted a cashier’s check which cleared my bank almost immediately. Allison his assistant stayed in touch with me and overnighted me all the necessary forms for the sale with clear written instructions on what I needed to sign. I was contacted within a day by PJ and Marci about transport. I started the process on Tuesday night 3/5, the money was in the bank on Wed. 3/7 and the car was picked up on Sun. 3/11. I cannot say enough positive things about Alex and the whole crew. Thank you for making this a very positive experience. Alex is honest and upfront about everything. If you are looking for an easy way to sell your classic car for a good price Alex is the man to contact.”
“My experience with selling my classic car was a fast and seamless transaction. Everyone was extremely helpful and professional.”

“Like a lot of people I was somewhat nervous about selling my classic car over the internet but I am pleased to say that all of my fears were put to rest with Alex Manos. I received quick reply’s to my questions with phone conversations and email. When Alex explained the process and we started negotiations I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this all happened. Even more amazing was the level of trust quickly established. I do have to say I give this transaction my highest score and I would definitely do repeat deals with them. I do believe that my 1956 MGA is going to be enjoyed for many more years in the sun.”
“My experience with Alex and his staff was nothing but professional! He followed up every week until I was ready to sell. I had other dealers ready to buy the car but Alex was the best to work with, not pushy in any way. I would do more business with Alex any time, it was totally seamless.”
“Dealing with both Alex and Allison was an easy and seamless transaction. We quickly came to terms on the selling price, money was quickly sent, and the vehicle was soon scheduled for pickup. They have perfected the art of buying or selling a collector vehicle.”
“Very happy with Alex. A very nice person to do business with.”
“We had a very good experience selling our classic cars to Alex Manos!”
“I ran across an advertisement on the internet looking for classic European cars. I had my 1987 Porsche up for sale and responded to the add. I was contacted the next day, sent some pictures to Alex and sold the car. The whole experience was smooth and the car was picked up two days later. I would recommend selling your car to Alex.”
“Very easy to do business. Very quick responses to questions. After the final agreement to sell, very quick and complete process over email, including bill of sale, power of attorney, title transfer, mailing instructions, transport arrangements, and complete follow up calls. Could not have been easier. The entire process from start to finish was three days.”
“Alex was super to work with. Our transaction was quick and professional, even though we were on opposite sides of the country. I would definitely recommend his services to someone else and look forward to working with him and his staff in the future.”
“A variety of circumstances made it necessary to give up the Jag. Alex and his team could not have made the process any easier. Payment was prompt, paper work was straight forward, shipping was prearranged and everything went smoothly.”
“Alex was very nice to work with! He was very efficient, professional and honest. He sent the check quickly and had someone pick up my Austin Healy within a couple of days! I would definitely recommend working with Alex! Thank you for your excellent service!”
“Wow! Dealing with Alex and his staff could not have been easier. He made me a fair offer on my 1960 Austin Healey Bug Eye and after 32 years of ownership, I am confident it will go to a good home and be put back into mint condition. Alex literally paid me overnight as I received a Fed Ex payment the day after. His team followed up on the details including all needed paperwork as well as timely and considerate pick up of the vehicle at my home. I cannot recommend Alex highly enough, honest, fair, man of integrity who does exactly what he says he will do… a rarity in today’s world!”
“Great experience. No hassles at all, Alex did everything he said he would do, kinda reminded me of the old auto dealer days where their word is their bond… Would definitely recommend them to anyone.”
“Some people claim that a person that STARTS dealing with used cars STOPS telling the truths. Not so with Alex Manos. Dealing with him was negotiating with a man with integrity!”
“Smooth, well-organized, clear and, of course, honest transaction. Alex said what he would do and he did it. The money arrived quickly and the paperwork was minimal, clear and his assistants were always available and helpful if I had questions. The pick-up was handled very professionally. The driver was friendly, competent and communicated well, coordinating his approach and arranging a convenient time for the final hand-off of the vehicle despite difficult Bay Area traffic. I would absolutely recommend Alex to anyone looking to sell their classic car: A+”
“Very smooth transaction, no issues!”

“Alex Manos purchased a car from me. He was professional and all of his support staff were too. Thank You Alex.”
“Honestly, I could not have asked for a better selling experience with Alex for my Ferrari 400I. The transaction was fair, honest, courteous, responsive and thorough. Whenever I had a question, Alex or his associates got back to me quickly. I was relieved that there was no high pressure tactics and all of my phone and email communications received from Alex and his associates were courteous, professional and prompt. Arrangements for transporting both documents to me via Fed Ex and for transporting the car were handled efficiently and according to the promised schedule. I am the director of our local car club and will be recommending Alex to all of our members.”
“Alex is a gentleman. He is polite, considerate, and definitive. Our negotiations were courteous, refined, and specific. Alex and his entire team were truthful, timely, and responsive. All went very well. I highly recommend this automotive organization.”
“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!”
“It was a good experience selling my vehicle to Alex Manos.. The company is very professional, from beginning to the finish of the transaction every detail went smooth. Thank you, Alex Manos for making this a pleasant experience.”
“Alex is a serious buyer that knows what your project is worth. He asks a lot of questions, and requires a lot of pictures, but well worth the time. He is classic car guru, and can tell you things about your car that even you didn’t know. Hope to do business with him again!”
“I have bought, sold, and traded many vehicles over the years. Dealing with Alex was by far the best experience I’ve ever had selling a car. I’ll miss my DeLorean, but the process was quick and painless. Thanks!”
“My experience with Alex Manos was very good. Alex responded quickly, he handled the deal fast, precise, and in a professional manner. In my opinion Alex is on top of his game here, good communication made my deal seamless.”
“I was very impressed with the way Alex Manos and his support personnel handled purchase of my 1965 Rolls Royce. I found that I was dealing with a very honest well prepared gentleman in Alex. He was fair and easy to work with. I can honestly tell anyone who is considering buying or selling a classic vehicle that you are in good hands with these people. And I had no prior experience with anyone involved. It was such a pleasure to deal with very pleasant responsive professionals.”
“Very fair and professional transaction. This is my second sale with Alex Manos, and would not hesitate to do business again.”
“The simplest sale that I’ve ever had. Sent in some photos, was given a price that I liked, and bam, the 190SL was sold and picked up. Couldn’t have been any easier for my needs. Thanks Alex!”
“I called Alex to sell my Ferrari. We agreed on price and within a couple of hours the funds where in my account!!! I was contacted by the trucking company the same day and my car was picked up with no issues. The communication was awesome with Alex and the trucking company. Easiest business deal ever!”
