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.
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.

With its V8 engine, 4-speed automatic gearbox and leather interior, this is old-school Mercedes-Benz luxury at its finest.

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.
Grand touring, it's an experience that blends the finest elements of what makes automotive. The perfect recipe calls for equal parts performance, looks, luxury, and a hint of practicality.

The Porsche Panamera is a four-door luxury car from Porsche that was introduced for the 2009 model year. Curiously, it’s not the first four-door to come from the German sports car maker; that honor goes to the Cayenne several years earlier.

Here, we have a second-generation 2023 Porsche Panamera GTS for sale from California. It’s got just 2,748 miles on the clock and a twin-turbo V8 under the hood.

Vantage has been a tag that Aston Martin used to use to denote the higher-performance variants of their existing cars, such as the DB7. But in 2005, that changed when this prolific British sports car maker decided to make a model called the Vantage. That’s what we have here, a first-generation Aston Martin Vantage V8 for sale from Poquoson, Virginia. The car has got a manual gearbox, a Caspian Blue interior and only over 41,000 miles to its name. If you’d like to experience one of the finest British grand tourers from the mid to late 2000s, as well as channel a little bit of James Bond suaveness, this reportedly all-stock car is ideal.
