The R107 series of Mercedes-Benz’ popular sunset cruiser SL model will be remembered as the definitive California Mercedes-Benz, owing to its popularity with film stars, on and off the silver screen. A Seventies or Eighties Hollywood flick or TV series wouldn’t be complete without an SL effortlessly purring by at some point. Why not catch some of that classic motoring action yourself, with this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL that we have for sale? It’s got 97,100 miles and is from the last year of production before the R129 took over.
The classic lines of the R107 have aged gracefully, marking this as one of Mercedes-Benz’ most iconic Seventies designs, and they sure did do a lot of great designs through the years. This particular 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL showcases its pedigree with a straight black paint job, and the classic silver Mercedes-Benz alloy rims wrapped in tires reportedly in good shape. The soft top is in black and said to be in excellent condition, and you also get the hard top included in the sale. The gray leather interior is also in decent nick, save for a tear in the driver’s seat. Being a later-model R107, this car received more tech toys than earlier examples, such as the more modern four-spoked steering wheel with airbag. There’s AC, cruise control, powered windows, powered mirrors, and an aftermarket Alpine head unit with CD player for some modern tunes. It’s said that the speakers are aftermarket as well, although we’re unsure of the brand.
Mercedes-Benz offered the R107 SL with a variety of in-line six and V8 engines, and this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL packs the most sizable and potent of those, albeit slightly detuned to meet North American mandatory requirements. The 5.6L V8 under the long hood of this car puts out 227hp and 287lb-ft to the rear wheels via a 4G-TRONIC four-speed automatic transmission, making for a fine boulevard cruiser with some performance to make a graceful but not obnoxious getaway. Braking is accomplished via power-assisted discs on all four wheels, and steering is also power assisted, via a recirculating ball arrangement.

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. Introduced in 2014, the AMG GT is now in its second generation of production. It’s a fearsome two-door fastback coupe with a twin-turbo V8 under its hood. 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.
