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.

Mercedes-Benz has a fine array of grand tourers, but if you want a true-blue sports car with a star on its nose, the Mercedes-AMG GT is as fine as they come. Introduced in 2014, the AMG GT is now in its second generation of production. It’s a fearsome two-door fastback coupe with a twin-turbo V8 under its hood. Hence, it makes for a fine car to drive regularly, and we have a 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 55 for sale right now. This 3,000-mile machine comes with a 469 horsepower 4.0-liter V8, an AMG Speedshift MCT 9-speed automatic gearbox, all-wheel drive and a host of tech features. It’s currenrly available in Dallas.
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands in stark contrast to the rest of this iconic German luxury car maker’s offerings. Its boxy, prominent, and can venture off-road with gusto. Introduced in 1979 as a military machine on the request of the Shah of Iran, civilian variants emerged in 1979. Since then, the G-Class has gained the typical Mercedes-Benz luxury features and technological highlights, but maintains its immense off-road capabilities. This 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is one fine example and it’s up for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. With 94,604 miles on it, you can tell that it’s meant to be driven. Plus, given its off-road abilities, this is the perfect family vehicle for the outdoors-loving crowd.
