The Mercedes-Benz SL or ‘Sport Leicht’ nameplate is one of the German automaker’s longest-running, with continuous production since 1954 to date when the latest R232 generation goes on sale this year. The SL is their pinnacle Grand Tourer and looks fantastic cruising down Sunset Boulevard. If cruising is your thing, this third-generation R107 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster is just the ticket as it comes from California having only 69,200 miles. These cars were celebrity and movie icons in the Seventies and Eighties, and still, stand out on the roads today. It reportedly comes with all receipts and documentation of add-ons.
1989 was the last year of the R107 generation before the R129 took over, ceasing its 18-year production run. Looking at this lovely black 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster, it’s not hard to see why the car was so popular with its classic Grand Tourer lines and proportions of a long hood and substantial overhangs. Look closer and you might wonder how an American VIN numbered car comes with European-style bumpers. In fact, the American mandated bumpers at the time sported a rather chunky nature, and somewhat detracted from the graceful lines of the model so the owner of this car has spent over $10,000 on European-style bumpers and accessories to give it a cleaner look. It’s also got a set of newer AMG five-spoke wheels with a new set of tires reported. If this doesn’t gel well with you, the original American bumpers and wheels are included in the sale too. Matching the black exterior comes an equally black interior that seats two occupants with a small luggage area behind to augment the boot. Climate control is on hand to keep you comfortable regardless of the weather outside. A new Pioneer sound system has been installed. Being a later-model SL, you also get a driver airbag.
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL comes with a 5.6L V8 that puts out 227hp and 287lb-ft to the rear wheels via a Mercedes-Benz 4G-TRONIC four-speed automatic gearbox, a combo that guarantees effortless cruising without breaking a sweat. This has also received new brakes and some mechanical refurbishments too.

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.

Hence, it makes for a fine car to drive regularly, and we have a 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 55 for sale right now.

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.
