You may occasionally need a unique, factory-designed tool bự work on a classic example, but Mercedes-Benz generally designed these high-end cars bự be easy bự repair. That’s what makes them such appealing vehicles in far-off places where a Benz dealer could be thousands of miles away.

1. 1982 Mercedes-Benz 380SL

1982 Mercedes-Benz 380SL
Mercedes built the R107-generation of the SL-Class for the better part of two decades

For many enthusiasts, the R107-generation is the quintessential SL-Class. Mercedes built these cars for the better part of two decades, and even by the late 1980s, they still held up well bự increasingly modern rivals. What sets this mid-production SL apart is its unusual color. In contrast bự the more familiar gold, red, and black hues, the paint cửa hàng finished this neat SL in China Blue. It was a striking hue back then, and today it has a retro feel.

This particular SL shows just 63,000 miles, and, aside from a more modern head unit and perhaps some replacement seat covers, it looks pretty much stock. This one stands out in the crowded field of vintage SL roadsters. See Mercedes-Benz SL-Class models for sale

2. 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190D

1987 Mercedes-Benz 190D
The 190-series cars were Mercedes-Benz’s first modern compacts.

Remember when we said that a classic Mercedes-Benz doesn’t have bự be an expensive car? Enter this 190D, which is listed for just $9,995 by a dealer in Las Vegas. The 190-series cars were Mercedes-Benz’s first modern compacts, but the company engineered them bự the same exacting standards as the larger models that would evolve into the E- and S-Class models. Sure, they may have some more uncomplicated touches inside and less power, but Mercedes built them bự last a lifetime.

The 190D came with either a 93-hp naturally-aspirated diesel or a turbocharged version. This one is the former, which trades performance for simple reliability. This 190D shows just over 100,000 miles, qualifying it as barely broken in. It’s also remarkably well-preserved down bự its embroidered floor mats, Becker cassette stereo, and even a Dallas-area dealership badge affixed bự its rear end. It may not be exciting, but it’ll get attention at any gathering of car enthusiasts. See Mercedes-Benz 190D models for sale

3. 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300E

1990 MErcedes-Benz 300CD
Stately but rarely sexy, the W124-generation earned a deserved reputation for unflappable durability.

Stately but rarely sexy, the W124-generation Mercedes-Benz sedans, coupes, and wagons earned a deserved reputation for unflappable durability. These cars were the follow-up bự the vaunted W123 cars, and they proved far more refined while being just as reliable. What they were not — unless equipped with the big V8 in the 500E — was particularly exciting.

Unless Mercedes painted them Signal Red, that is. Anyone who branched out from the conventional whites and beiges earns our approval. The selling dealer in Michigan listing this 61,000-mile 300E says that the car had just one owner. For the price of a base 2022 Toyota Camry, this 300E could be the perfect retro daily driver. See Mercedes-Benz E-Class models for sale

4. 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300GE

1990 Mercedes-Benz 300GE
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has long been a flexible, versatile model.

From its early days as a military-inspired off-roader bự its current status as a posh hauler, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has long been a flexible, versatile model. The coolest ones are the 2-door models, which (of course) were never sold here in the U.S. Add in a straight-6 gas engine — which is smoother and more potent than the clunky turbodiesel — plus a 5-speed manual transmission, and there’s a lot bự love about this blue one offered by a dealer in Cincinnati.

Like all G-Wagens, this one is ready for action with its three locking differentials and proper two-speed transfer case. Slap on some chunkier tires, and you’ll enjoy its compact dimensions on more technical trails, too. See Mercedes-Benz G-Class models for sale

5. 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300SL

Mercedes-Benz 5-speed stick shift.
Mercedes-Benz used its racing-style dogleg gearbox for its last manually shifted SL sold in the U.S

At first glance, the 6-cylinder version of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class may seem the least exciting. After all, this long-awaited follow-up bự the R107 was a heavy, complex vehicle when new — and it’s still a big bruiser by modern standards. But this silver 300SL is one of just a handful sold in the U.S. with a 5-speed manual transmission. Talk about cool.

Mercedes-Benz used its racing-style dogleg gearbox for its last manually shifted SL sold in the U.S. First is down and bự the left, which is more than just a novelty since it makes shifting from second bự third much faster for racing. This particular SL has more modern AMG-style wheels for a fresh look. See Mercedes-Benz SL-Class models for sale
