Used 1990 Mercedes-Benz S-Class for sale near me

Here is a review of my start to finish process of buying a car from Gateway Classic Cars, Ft. Lauderdale: ----- 1. The sales people who you work with are not on site. They're working remote so they don't have eyes on the car. ---- So, 2. You'll want to be connected with someone on site who can start and drive the car, provide a walkaround video, pictures of whatever you want and give their input. I worked with Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location for my purchase and he was outstanding with helping me to know the car before making an offer. He is the reason that this is a 5 star review. -------- 3. Hauling: They'll get you a quote for hauling the vehicle. I chose Nexus Transport myself to use. They were a bit cheaper and top rated by Forbes. That went just fine. --------- 4. These cars are all on consignment. So, I feel that you have to be a little more careful because you have another party who may not have disclosed things to Gateway. Best practice is to get a pre-buy done from someone like Lemon Squad. That being said, I was so comfortable with my deal, took the risk and waived the pre-buy. And in my case, the Prowler is a mint gem and I have no concerns after receiving it. Also, there is a common thought then you buy a car like this, you should budget 10% or so of the price for maintenance right after you get the car because stuff always comes up, otherwise, don't buy a used car. --------5. Since they're on consignment, they have commissions they charge the seller. As a buyer, I don't care if I see a commissions line on the purchase agreement. As long as my out the door number was what I offered, that's fine. --------6. I wired money to them and within a few hours, I had all the fully executed paperwork back in my hands. Title took about 3 weeks to receive by UPS. And the folder had everything I needed to register the car in my state. Wow! Thank you Barbara! ------ 7. So here is what breeds loyalty. Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location made sure the car was completely ready to be picked up including accessories that were bubble wrapped. The car was supposed to be picked up at Noon on Saturday, plenty of time before they closed at 5pm. He stayed until the truck arrived...very late....AT 1:30am Sunday morning!!!! (Otherwise, it would have sat until Tuesday). I cannot believe he did that for me. I received my car loading video at 2am. That's unbelievable service that deserves more than 5 stars. ------- Summary: I'd have zero issues with buying from Gateway again....they just operate in a different dealership style than what I'm used to, which is just fine.

Having owned many of these W 126 Mercedes-Benz automobiles, for the money, there is no better car. Designer Bruno Sacco broke away from the MB 'BOX' style with this design in 1981, and it still looks great today. The diesels are built with cast iron blocks, and heads, and are certified at the MB factory to have gone over 1 million miles; many at 750k, and thousands at 500k miles. Do the maintenance, and they will serve you well, in safety, with style, and economy. Any 1981-1991, in it's many variations, will do just finel. I just bought a 1984, one family owned, 300SD turbodiesel with nearly 350,000 highway miles, and could not be happier with it. Watch out for the 'rodbender' 350's; know what you are buying. If overheated, they can cause problems. That seems to be the only model. The rest are seemingly 'bulletproof'.

Paul was great and very accommodating salesman thanks for the great sales. Excited to drive my new car!

This was a $60,000. dollar car when new fully loaded and extremely safe. The SEL was called the "lemo" in Germany, pure luxury.
