Why You Should Sell Your 220S to Old Town Classics
I love everything about Mercedes 22S – their gorgeous design, remarkable craftsmanship, and their sentimental value. I am very grateful to have been able to meet and work with many classic car owners over the year. My customers would describe me as a trustworthy and reliable person with professional, but friendly attitude. I want to be recognized as an honest professional who is transparent and accurate about everything he does.
If your circumstances have changed and you want to sell your classic car to me, here’s what you can expect:
Full amount paid to you – No brokerage fees
As I am a direct buyer and not a broker, you will be selling your 220S directly to me. You won’t have to pay any extra fees, meaning the entire amount goes of the sale price goes to you and you will earn more profit than if you sold it through a third party.
Safe & secure payments
Instead of dealing with dubious private buyers, deal with a professional like me who has license to work and offers protection from fraud. I will handle the financial aspect, ensuring legitimate money transfer. With me, you have peace of mind knowing you’re protected under the law and won’t be deceived or scammed, which can be typical of selling via classifieds.
Friendly & easygoing approach
For some people, giving up their car can be tough because of all the history it involves and it’s no wonder they want to surrender it to the best new owner they can find. As an avid classic car enthusiast myself, I fully understand why it’s so important to find the right buyer and I am very respectful and compassionate when talking to my clients. There’s no pressure to sell and both parties have a very pleasant experience. I’m a laid-back and modest buyer who values kindness and friendly atmosphere.
Pick up at your location

When you, as a classic car seller, understand how the buyer performs an inspection, you can better prepare for the sale and eventually end up with a better offer. As an educated buyer, I take time when inspecting the car in order to make sure I’m making a wise purchase but also to form the price that reflects your car’s true worth. The physical assessment therefore serves to verify the car’s physical condition, its authenticity, and its background.
The inspection is thorough and involves many aspects to identify structural, mechanical, or aesthetic damages. Visual inspection of the exterior includes paint finish and condition, bodywork – signs of rust, discoloration, dents and cracks, undercarriage – panel gaps, rust, damages, and tires and wheels check. I will also perform mechanical inspection of engine, drivetrain, braking, suspension, exhaust and steering system. I will also inspect the interior – upholstery, dashboard, and instruments.
Lastly, I will a buyer will review maintenance records and other relevant paperwork that confirms authenticity of the vehicle.
