It’s no surprise that we’ve seen a lot of Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class examples pass through our hands on to new and eager owners. This generation of SL ran between 1971 and 1989 and is widely hailed as one of the best modern classics you can find. Furthermore, the R107 generation was popular among movie stars, on and off-screen. It embodied the very spirit of Mercedes-Benz in producing timeless cruisers that didn’t compromise on luxury or comfort. Why not get your very own slice of R107 goodness with this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster? It’s got just 78,000 miles on the clock and appears to be in excellent condition.
Arctic White is one of those colors that really speaks volumes when adorned on a car like this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster. The color accentuates the timeless lines of the car, and while some people don’t like the North American-mandated safety bumpers, the color of this car naturally guides your eyes away from them. Then, you’ll find quintessential Mercedes-Benz cues such as the iconic silver alloy wheels and, of course, the Star on the front grille. Meanwhile, we’ve been informed that this car comes with a new OEM convertible top, as well as its original hard top and a new canvas top. That’s another beautiful thing about the R107 – it’s an all-season car. Pop on the hardtop during Autumn and Winter, and leave it at home for Spring and Summer – you’ve still got a canvas top in case it gets too warm or rains. The interior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster is a two-seat affair with a padded luggage area behind the seats. On some European market models, a dinky set of rear seats was installed here. In this car, the space plays host to a pair of aftermarket speakers, and the Mercedes-Benz first-aid kit is an inclusion in all the brand’s cars. There’s a Kenwood head unit in the center console, as well as a new climate control system. You’ve also got controls for the power antenna here.
This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster comes with a 5.6L V8 that was reportedly rated to make 227hp and 287lb-ft.

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.

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.

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.
Debuting in 1969, the Range Rover was made by Land Rover as a vehicle that would slot in above their Land Rover Series model, in terms of size, as well as luxury.

Hence, for those seeking an iconic British luxury four-by-four, a regular Range Rover is a great choice. Today’s 2017 Range Rover SV Autobiography LWB is a Cornelius-based fourth generation variant with only under 37,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a powerful supercharged V8 under the hood, a panoramic sliding glass roof, and comes in long wheelbase variant for extra interior space.

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.
