You often hear the phrase “They don’t make ‘em like they used to” and that couldn’t be more true when said about new cars. This 1985 Mercedes-Benz SD with just 50,000 miles on the odometer is the perfect way to showcase that saying. No complicated electronics and sensors here, just an honest car that is built to a standard that is nonexistent nowadays. The S Class name has been around since 1972 with several models to choose from in that 52-year timeline, and this classic W126 is on the more desirable side.
Cars in this good of condition are few are far between. The interior of this car has been preserved to an unbelievably high standard and it really shows. There appears to not be a single wear mark on the power adjustable beige leather seats (with memory of course!), not a chip in the wood grain on the dash, and not a stain on any of the carpets. Equipped with a Becker Grand Prix head unit and automatic climate control, getting comfortable will take no effort. The exterior of this land yacht is just as pristine as the inside. The grey paint has held up remarkably well for nearly 40 years with hardly any fading, chips, or scratches. The boxy shape of the car is complimented nicely by the pinstripes running the length of the vehicle, the silver body cladding on the lower end of the car, as well as the tips of chrome scattered throughout, and the period-correct 14-inch wheels that will give you a ride that would give a modern S-Class a run for its money.
Under the hood lies a bulletproof 3.0 Inline 5 Cylinder Turbo Diesel motor, code-named the OM617. With a fresh oil service and less just 50,000 miles on the clock, this drivetrain hasn’t even been broken in.

The 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL Sedan is from the second generation of the legendary Mercedes-Benz S-Class line. The W126 is so far the most successful and the longest in production generation of the iconic S-Class. The W126 project was led by Mercedes-Benz Chief designer Bruno Sacco who aimed to make the new S-Class more aerodynamic, efficient and retain the unmistakable design elements that makes the S-Class an S-Class. The weight was significantly cut down by extensive use of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) sheets and polyurethane deformable material for the bumpers and side claddings. Lighter alloy material was used for the heavily revised 5.6-liter M117 V8 engine that this Mercedes-Benz 560SEL houses. It is also the biggest engine that you could have had with a W126 S-Class. Our featured car has a total of 80,000 miles on the odometer. We’re told this particular model has been treated to new parts and has had the front end completely rebuilt as reported by the current owner.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class was born as a sports car with no intention of developing into a street version. Two years later, a street-legal version was proposed for wealthy performance car enthusiasts, as the personal luxury car market was thriving at the time. A few decades later, the famed German automaker Mercedes-Benz commemorated the 60th anniversary of a memorable motor racing success. An extraordinary special model of the SL Roadster was unveiled to celebrate this milestone, and it was dubbed the "Mille Miglia," referring to the unexpected victory of a 300 SL in the production sports cars class in 1955. This example is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Special Edition Mille Miglia 417 with 30,150 miles on its clock. This is your chance to experience the unique symbiosis of maximum comfort and motor-racing spirit that traditionally characterizes every SL.
If you want to own a luxury Mercedes-Benz that’s a classic but still relatively modern, you can’t go amiss with an R107 example. Made between 1971 and 1989, the R107 SL-Class is a Hollywood darling and a perfect example of what Mercedes-Benz can do when they set their minds on being the best. What’s more, this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is an excellent choice because it’s got a lovely fuel-injected V8 beneath the hood. Packing a mere 98,500 miles, the current owner says that the car has received a new battery and all-new tires too. So, it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.

While the 7-Series has always been the company's flagship sedan, we were never granted a true M7 from their M division. However, for those wanting a taste of that performance in such a luxurious package, then Alpina — the famed BMW tuners — serves up just that. The 2018 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive brings the what could have been an M7 to life. Powered by an extensively reworked 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with a lengthy list of upgrades, this German sedan can get from 0–60 mph in a whopping 3.6 seconds. With a mere 27,000 miles on the clock, this Alpina can hit a top speed of 192 mph, whereas BMW’s flagship M760i is limited to just 155 mph.
