This barely driven Mercedes SLS AMG have been sold for an eye-watering $775,000. Yes, for a car that originally stickered at $223,345.
Finished in elegant Iridium Silver Metallic over Designo Black leather, this 2012 example has covered just 251 miles from new. That’s delivery mileage, essentially. It’s less a used car and more of a collectable.
Under that long, sculpted bonnet sits one of AMG’s all-time greats—a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre M159 V8. This hand-assembled engine produces 563 horsepower and sends it exclusively to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle and a limited-slip differential.
The rest of the car is equally special. Iconic gullwing doors define its silhouette, while carbon-ceramic brakes, stylish alloys, and carbon-fibre accents elevate its overall desirability. Inside, it’s a mix of old-school luxury and focused sportiness, with AMG seats, Alcantara touches, and a driver-centric layout.
This has to be one of the most insane online car sales ever. It shows that when a virtually untouched icon like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG surfaces, bidding quickly becomes less about logic and more about emotion. This sale proves just how far enthusiasts are willing to go for cars like these.
