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. Owning and driving a brand-new SL marks a milestone, and a time when you know that you can somewhat relax and enjoy the finer aspects of life. Imagine how the first owner of this R107-generation 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL must have felt when picking up their car brand-new! While the car has done 103,000 miles since then, it’s still in good condition, so you can feel just as special if you buy this car from us. What are you waiting for?
Beige is a timeless shade for many cars, and it works beautifully on this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL, bringing out its timeless lines and iconic design. The car comes with a black hard top, as well as a black soft top. This was a signature feature of the R107 – two types of top. So, in winter you can install the hardtop and enjoy a proper, weather-protected car just like any other coupe. When summer rolls around, simply remove the hardtop and leave it at home. Should the sun get too hot or a sudden rainshower threaten you, there’s still a black soft top to use. The interior of this car is as simplistic as it was in those days, but still well-equipped. You won’t find a massive touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Instead, what you’ll find is a Becker radio, a climate control system operated via buttons and knobs, power windows, power mirrors, power door locks and a power radio antenna. This car also has the optional rear seat bench, which can accommodate two children, or one adult sitting sideways. There’s also a surprisingly roomy trunk behind the passenger cabin.
This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is powered by a 3.8L V8 that’s got ample power for urban and highway cruising. Power goes to the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox. The car has front independent suspension with double wishbones, and rear semi-trailing arm independent suspension. Hence, it provides a calm and comfortable ride, but can also be driven in a sporty manner if you desire. The front and rear disc brakes are power-assisted for excellent stopping prowess. The current owner also tells us that the car has received an oil change.

Now here’s a lovely cruiser for someone to enjoy, whether they’re sixteen or sixty years old. This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster hails from the hallowed R107 generation of Mercedes-Benz’s SL-Class luxury grand tourer. This generation was made between 1971 and 1989, and of the 300,000 plus cars that were made, over two thirds came to North America. The car was a cult classic with the rich and famous, or even infamous. Now, cars like this are becoming fantastic classics to own and drive, as well as the perfect way to experience a classic Mercedes-Benz drive without giving up too many comfort features. For example, this 91,112-mile machine rocks a 4-speed automatic transmission, which was one of the key upgrades for the 1981 model year. It’s also got a Blaupunkt San Francisco SQR 28 cassette radio player, a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V8, and is up for grabs in Montclair, New Jersey.
There’s an interesting trend taking place in North America, where youngsters are starting to discover the allure of classic cars. Perhaps its their rather more appealing color palette, the fond talk that they’ve heard about classics from their elders, or the desire to diverge from the herd of soulless electric cars that are being thrust upon us. In fact, one of the most interesting classic car choices with Gen Z is starting to become the Mercedes-Benz R107-series SL-Class! Produced between 1971 and 1989, over 200,000 came to North America, and they’re sturdy cars, let us tell you. We’ve helped so many examples find new owners that we can safety say that these are built to last if cared for appropriately. So, if you’re a parent (or a youngster) who’s looking for their first classic, check out this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster from New Hampshire. With its V8 engine, timeless styling and relatively low 72,137 miles, it’s a great choice.
Nothing says “old money” like an 80s Mercedes convertible. This fine example is a testament to that statement. The R107 SL Class was in production for nearly 2 decades between 1971 and 1989 (reportedly selling an incredible 300,000 units), and the 380SL was made in the early 80s. In the US market, it replaced the 450SL and was succeeded by the 560SL. It was essentially a 2-seater convertible version of the S Class, providing a delightful combination of driving pleasure and luxury. The S Class frequently gets credit for being the world leader in technological innovation, but few know that the SL was also a very influential model; inertia-reel seatbelts, though now standard on every car, were developed for and debuted in the R107 SL, with its comfort and safety advantages making it an industry trend quickly. Being an 80s Mercedes, the most important thing about this car is the unbeatable quality of engineering.
The finest luxury car in the world for many, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is right up there. It’s a trend-setter, a conversation starter, and the final automotive frontier for many. Once you’ve got an S-Class in your life, you know that you’ve made it in life. Plus, if you don’t want the latest one that’s decked out with screens to the hilt, there are always Golden Oldies to select. Examples like this 2000 Mercedes-Benz S 430 from the W220 era of 1998 to 2005. This particular example packs a 4.3-liter V8 within its sleek black body, and offers a comfortable, button and knob-heavy interior in beige. With only more than 13,000 miles on the clock, you can buy this Palm Beach-based car right now if you desire. The original owner’s manual plus two keys are included with the sale.
This 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL 550 Roadster represents the R231 generation of Mercedes-Benz’s iconic luxury grand touring convertible. Showing just 10,088 miles, this example blends advanced engineering with refined styling and impressive performance. The SL-Class has long been known for combining sports car capability with luxury touring comfort, and the R231 generation introduced a lighter aluminum-intensive body structure along with modern technology and driver assistance features. Finished in striking Mars Red, this SL 550 delivers both visual presence and the smooth, powerful driving experience expected from Mercedes-Benz’s flagship roadster.
Looks can be deceiving, indeed. Within the tinted-glass obscured interior of this otherwise conventional-looking 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 van lies a lap of luxury. If you choose to acquire this 20,000-mile camper conversion from Decatur, Illinois, you’ll be availing yourself to a comfortable house on wheels, basically. You wouldn’t guess what this third-generation Sprinter contains within its Tenorite Gray Metallic body, but once you’ve experienced its plush power-adjustable captain chairs, cozy sleeping accommodations and watched a movie on its LED TV while snuggled up in a nice blanket, you won’t realize what you’ve been missing out on in the camper world. All this, a proper toilet and more await your consideration.

Quick, don your tuxedo and set your GPS to Roswell, where you can pick up this silver 2019 Aston Martin DB9 and make it yours. Even though the DB9 didn’t feature in a Bond film, it’s definitely worthy of being the superspy’s car. With those sleek lines and unmistakable Aston Martin design features, the DB9 was produced between 2004 and 2016. It came with that superb 5.9-liter (incorrectly called a 6.0-liter due to judicious rounding up) V12 under the hood, as well as a finely crafted interior. Our subject car has all those tantalizing features, and a super low 13,172 miles on the clock! Could you get a better deal than this? Likely not.
