The Eighties was a complete change up for the automotive world. Technology now played a big part, and there was no going back. You needed this tech to go alongside the Synthwave pumping on your stereo. While everything was changing, Mercedes-Benz and their SL lineup didn't. The lineup was so iconic that it didn't need a revamp. The C107 generation roadster was the stuff of legends and would just require some minor upgrades in terms of luxury to keep things interesting; after all, did you enjoy the Eighties without your stereo on full send? With a production run that spanned 18 years and the second longest-running single series produced by Mercedes-Benz, owning one is truly a treat. Why not drive off into the sunset with this lovely 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster we have today. With 106,000 miles reported on the clock, this is Mercedes-Benz that has aged superbly.
With its iconic roadster styling, the red exterior on this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster sure looks just right. The car looks all original, with even the original US spec bumpers being in excellent condition. The manual soft top reportedly functions well with the hardtop also included in the sale. You also get the original tool kit and the first aid kit in the rear, which is reported to be original but not confirmed. The car rides on its factory silver wheels, to sum up all this originality. A lovely Sunday cruise calls for a comfortable interior; the tan interior on this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster sure does the trick. The leather seats are in excellent condition with the car interior components present and in great shape.
With eight engine trims to pick from to suit customers on multiple price points and segments, this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster sports the tastiest offering. Powering this legend is a 5.6 L V8.

Some maintenance has been done to the car to ensure it runs right; the car has reportedly seen a recent oil change, a new battery was replaced during 2021, and a new radiator was replaced before the current owner purchased the car. The engine bay has also been cleaned to showcase the car's originality.

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.
You might be wondering why there are so many R107-series Mercedes-Benz SLs for sale. Certainly, we at Exotic Car Trader have shifted our fair share. You see, that’s because the R107 was one of the best-sellers of its time. Between 1971 and 1989, Mercedes-Benz made over 300,000 of them. That’s pretty decent for a top-tier luxury car, and what’s even more eye-widening is, two-thirds of that was official US market sales! Yes, that’s before we consider the gray market or personal imports from Europe. Another factor that explains why so many are surviving is because they are built to last. Packing that inimitable Mercedes-Benz quality and sturdiness, there are plenty of examples to go around, ensuring that as many enthusiasts can experience the car as possible. Today’s 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL from Blue Ridge, Georgia is no different. It may have driven over 149,000 miles so far, but that’s mere chicken feed for this Merc. Plus, it comes with the original window sticker and maintenance records too.
With over 300,000 produced and two-thirds of that ending up in North America, the Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class is one of those success stories that must be told. The series ran between 1971 and 1989, and during that time, Mercedes-Benz made countless upgrades and updates. While American cars were burdened with lower power outputs and emission controls, European cars were able to better weather the storm as they were already being made to be frugal yet powerful. So, if you’d like to get your hands on a well-equipped, low-mileage R107, this 39,000-mile 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL from Hattiesburg, Mississippi is the right choice. With its V8 engine, 4-speed automatic gearbox and leather interior, this is old-school Mercedes-Benz luxury at its finest.
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.

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.

Formerly called the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class, the GLE represents the midsize sport utility offering from Mercedes-Benz, and has done so since 1997. Then, it was called the ML-Class and rode on a traditional, body on frame configuration. However, since 2005 and the second generation, a unibody construction was adopted, and the M-Class became more road-oriented. The GLE name came in 2015 when the third generation was facelifted, and basically alludes to the model being the SUV equivalent of an E-Class. Today, what we have is a fourth-generation example from the house of Mercedes-AMG. This 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE53 has traveled just over 27,000 miles and comes with a twin-turbo straight six under the hood. It’s also got 4MATIC all-wheel drive and the usual Mercedes-Benz refinements to enjoy, in its quest to be your next family vehicle. If you’d like to answer its call, let us know.
