Mercedes-Benz has many iconic cars under its belt. For example, the Mercedes-Benz SL Class, with SL for the German word Sport-Leicht or Sport Light in English, has been the go-to car for individuals looking for class and performance. One of the series' iconic models is the Mercedes-Benz R107 and C107, which were produced from 1971 to 1989. The 560 SL was the top-of-the-line offering by Mercedes during its period and thus is one of America's most frequently seen cars on the road. Take a drive in this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL down memory lane and experience what Personal Luxury in automobiles meant in an era of excess. This car is a timeless masterpiece, and as such the seller reports that the car is in excellent condition and has accumulated just over 112,000 miles during its 36 years of life.
Multiple color options were available for the 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL, yet as with today, most Mercedes-Benz customers opt for the white versions. This car sports the Arctic White finish and is topped off by a black convertible top. The front of the car is longer than the rear, thus evoking its heritage design from the 300 SL. A few things that the NA models differentiated from the EU ones are the addition of black rubber impact guards on the front, while above it, the Mercedes-Benz Star in chrome is flanked by quad-round headlights. More chrome trimmings can be seen on the side mirrors, handles, windows, and doors. The rear is host to a black rubber impact bumper and chromed 560 SL and Mercedes-Benz badging. It sits on a set of OEM wheels with the Star in the center and painted silver. The interior features a mix of wood veneer and black leather that accentuates the car's exterior in contrast. Right behind the 4-spoke black-finished steering wheel, the white and yellow on black gauges can be seen, while the center console features wood veneer and the original AM/FM radio/cassette player from Becker.
Known for its smooth and comfortable ride, the 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is no slouch as it comes equipped with the 5.6L V8 powerplant producing 227hp of power along with 287 lb-ft of torque. The power is sent to the rear wheels via the 4-speed automatic transmission. The seller reports that the following have been replaced with new units – wiring unit, ABS, filters, hoses, brake pads, gaskets, and valve system. A recent oil change has been performed with new Michelin tires added.
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.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has got to be one of the most curious vehicles from German luxury auto manufacturer Mercedes-Benz.

The Aston Martin DB9: a car that was so well-designed it stayed in production for 12 years, and continues to impress over 2 decades after its launch. In 2004, it took over the DB line from the outgoing DB7. While it’s predecessor was often criticized as being a Jag XJS in a fancy dress, the DB9 was developed as a fresh car (in fact, there is some speculation that Aston Martin avoided calling it the DB8 to distinguish it even more from its predecessor). The convertible version was named the DB9 Volante and debuted in September 2004 with softer suspension than the coupe and extra reinforcement to protect the occupants in case of a rollover incident.
BMW’s 8-Series was first introduced in 1990 as a sleek and angular luxury coupe. With its eye-catching design and excellent aerodynamics, the first-generation 8-Series was also the world’s first production car to pair a V12 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. Offered exclusively with either a V8 or a V12, the 8-Series represented the pinnacle of BMW’s grand touring capability — a blend of power, luxury, and innovation that still defines the brand’s heritage. Presented here is a 1997 BMW 840Ci from Key Largo, Florida — a low-mileage example showing fewer than 32,000 miles. Under its long hood lies the more economical yet still exciting 4.4L V8 engine, delivering smooth, effortless performance. If you’re looking for a stylish grand tourer that’s both a collector-grade classic and a comfortable daily driver, this 840Ci perfectly fits the bill.
