Jeremy at SL Auto Gallery purchased my Mercedes E320 Cabriolet from me and made everything about the process quick and painless. I reached out and expressed interest in selling and within a few days my car was in the good hands of SL Auto Gallery. Jeremy knows vintage Mercedes’ inside and out, and I wouldn’t think twice before purchasing a vehicle from him. While I was there I had the chance to look at everything in the showroom– it was apparent that every car for sale had been meticulously gone through. When the time comes, I’ll be giving Jeremy a call for my next classic Benz purchase.  Hunter – Los Angeles
