The R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL is becoming quite the desirable classic car, as there are examples from its inception in 1971 right up to its last production year of 1989 to consider. Throughout the R107's production span, observable progress and meaningful improvements can be realized. That doesn't mean that early models are any less special, but many tend towards a later-model example, such as this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL we've got for sale right now. Don't let its 91,000 miles put you off, as the current owner reports quite a bit of refurbishment and replacement work has been done on it.
Wearing lovely blue paintwork, this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is a sight for sore eyes wherever you choose to drive it. Purists will appreciate the finer details, such as the original alloy wheels, fog lamps, and US-market-specific headlamps plus elongated bumpers. You also receive a hard top, as well as a soft top, with the sale of this car. The windshield wipers have received new blades to ensure excellent wiping characteristics in pouring rain. Said to be the original interior, the current owner reports that the air conditioning has received a recent servicing and new refrigerant, which is nice for those living in warmer climes. The cabin is a two-seat affair in tan, with a luggage shelf behind the seats, augmenting the car's generous trunk. There's also a Becker Grand Prix radio with a cassette tape player, albeit reportedly nonfunctional. The current owner reports a new antenna has been installed.
Sporting a 3.8L V8 that was rated for 155hp and 196lb-ft, this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL isn't going to win at the local drag strip, but that's not its raison d'etre. Rather, it's meant to be a stylish and easygoing cruiser, with its 4-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels in a smooth fashion. The current owner reports that the engine has received an oil change. Further work done is said to include new fuses, a new fan motor, new water pump and radiator hoses, and a new thermostat. The current owner also tells us that the car has new brake pads and rotors.
Do you want to own and drive a contemporary Mercedes-Benz model that’s a timeless icon, and has definite classic value? If so, consider an example of the Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class.

We first knew the Mercedes-Benz 380SL as the 350 SL then the 450 SL. In late 1981, a new 3.8 L light alloy aluminum cylinder V8 arrived along with Mercedes' latest automatic gearbox; hence the 380 SL. Built on the highly regarded and successful R107 chassis, the Mercedes-Benz 380SL expanded on the technological advancements of its earlier models. The SL class featured excellent build quality, a powerful engine, sporty yet comfortable handling, and all the contemporary amenities one would expect from a high-end European vehicle. This well-preserved example of the 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL demonstrates these qualities perfectly. Showing 97,000 miles on its clock, this beauty is available for sale with a correct Classic Silver paint over a striking blue leather interior.
The Mercedes-Benz SL is a bucket list aspiration for many. It’s the car you buy to treat yourself when you’ve made it.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is one of those models that stands apart from the rest of the Mercedes-Benz family. Here is a tough and versatile off-roader that can go nearly anywhere on Earth, in stark contrast to the brand’s luxurious, seriously road-focused sedans, coupes, convertibles, and crossovers. Granted, Mercedes-Benz would jump on the SUV bandwagon later on with more models, but the G-Glass remains their first. Introduced in 1979, it has remained faithfully true to its design roots while being updated continuously. This particular 2005 Mercedes-Benz G500 comes from the W463 first generation, which ran between 1990 and 2018. Up for sale with less than 74,000 miles done, it’s ready to rumble and roll with a new owner.
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S600 is the pinnacle of luxury engineered like no other car in the world. This luxury sedan led the market with its advanced technologies, outselling the Audi A8 and BMW 7-Series. This sixth-generation W222 S600 featured a bigger engine and a new platform that offered one of the most comfortable air suspension set-ups in the business. It even features an adaptive feature that scans the road ahead and prepares for the dampening of road irregularities. With a shorter wheelbase than the Maybach variant and a purring V12 in front, this S600 is more of a driver’s vehicle. However, make no mistake, the rear seats of this Mercede-Benz S-Class are far better than most cars in the world. So, ride or drive in power and luxury with this German elegance for sale in Forney, Texas.
The BMW i8 looks like something straight out of the future. When it debuted in 2014, onlookers gasped with amazement, and interested parties flocked to showrooms to see what the fuss was all about. The i8 was one of the early models from BMW’s now-renowned ‘I’ range of electric and hybrid vehicles. Over 20,000 vehicles were sold between 2014 and 2020, which is pretty decent for a low-slung, two-door sports car that fills a pretty niche market segment. So, if you want to get your mitts on an i8, here’s a 53,000-mile 2015 BMW i8 available right now. The car comes with some neat cosmetic enhancements, too.
The Porsche Cayenne is the vehicle for Porsche lovers who now have families that need transporting. An excellent five-seat midsize luxury SUV, the Cayenne was the brand’s first SUV.

This particular 2023 Porsche Cayenne GTS Coupe is of the Cayenne Coupe variant, which debuted in 2020. With a mere 6,100 miles on the clock, this car also comes with the Premium Package and the Sport Design Package in Gloss Black.
