Mercedes-Benz has an exceptionally broad spectrum of special cars. From the raw power of AMG to the ultimate luxury of Maybach, from timeless classics to modern supercars. On a regular classifieds site, your special Mercedes gets lost in the crowd. At Octane, every car is presented to an audience that understands its value.
AMG models form an important part of the offering. From the legendary 190E 2.3-16 Evo to the modern AMG GT Black Series: the AMG badge stands for uncompromising performance. The "One Man, One Engine" principle for hand-built engines makes these cars extra special. Through Octane, you reach buyers who know the difference between an AMG styling package and a genuine AMG, and who are willing to pay for documentation and history.
The 300 SL, the Pagoda, the W124 E500 (built by Porsche), the R107 and R129 SL series: Mercedes has a rich history of cars that appreciate in value. But more recent models like the gull-winged SLS AMG, the SLR McLaren, and the CLK DTM are also sought-after collector cars. The auction format brings interested buyers together who recognise the value of these models.
The Maybach line represents the absolute pinnacle of Mercedes luxury, while the G-Class has built a cult status of its own that extends beyond the automotive market. Both models attract a specific buyer audience willing to pay a premium for the right example. The auction format at Octane ensures market value is fairly determined by having multiple interested parties bid simultaneously.
For AMG models with hand-built engines (recognisable by the signed plaque on the engine block), provenance is particularly valuable. Buyers want to know which engine builder assembled their engine, and they expect complete maintenance documentation. Invoices from Mercedes dealers or recognised AMG specialists are essential.
For older models such as the SL series (Pagoda, R107, R129), the W124, and the W126, originality is a key factor. Buyers seek examples with matching numbers, original specification, and well-documented restorations. A complete history with photo documentation of any restorations significantly increases attractiveness. Rust-free examples or cars with professional body protection are particularly sought after.
Specification matters for every Mercedes model. For AMG, Performance package, ceramic brakes, and carbon interior package are sought-after options. For the G-Class, Designo interior, the Professional off-road package, and rare colours are decisive. For Maybach, the individual configuration matters. Black Series and Edition models command premium prices due to their rarity.
Good maintenance outweighs low mileage. Regular use and documented service is more convincing than a car that has sat idle for years.
Every car gets a tailored campaign: positioning, spec highlights, and distribution to enthusiasts and collectors across Europe.
