The pinnacle of the R231 generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class model range, the SL65 AMG showcases a twin-turbocharged V12 engine generating over 600 HP and 738 lb.-ft of torque. This 2005 example is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over Charcoal Exclusive Nappa Leather upholstery and features a retractable panoramic hardtop, climatized multicontour seats, bi-xenon headlights, the Parktronic system, a Bose sound system, 19” AMG two-piece wheels, and more. Having commanded a sticker price of over $187k in 2005, this SL65 AMG is now being offered for auction out of New York with approximately 33k miles on the odometer.
The SL65 AMG features an AMG-specific aerodynamic package including a unique front spoiler, side skirts, and rear valence. This example is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and rides on 19” AMG two-piece alloy wheels in dark silver with polished outer lips. Equipment includes a power-retractable panoramic glass hardtop, bi-xenon headlamps, fog lights, hood and fender vents, V12 Biturbo badges, parking sensors, silver AMG-branded brake calipers, and quad exhaust tips. The wheels were refinished in March 2024 and are dressed in Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires. Additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Appointed with Charcoal Exclusive Nappa Leather upholstery, the cabin features burl walnut wood trim and a pair of heated and ventilated multicontour seats. Other accessories include a leather multifunction steering wheel with Speedshift buttons, an electrically adjustable steering column, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, auto-dimming mirrors, Keyless-Go entry, a Bose sound system, wind deflector, a deployable roll bar, and a COMAND infotainment system with navigation.
Rated at 604 HP and 738 lb.-ft of torque, the twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter M275 V12 engine delivers power to the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission. The SL65 AMG comes standard with an AMG Sport suspension with Active Body Control (ABC), an AMG high-performance braking system, and an AMG Sport exhaust system. The ignition module is said to have been replaced in 2022 along with the ABC expansion hose and front spring link bushings.
This sale will include an owner’s manual, the original window sticker, service records, and a clean title.

I chase vehicles and collections across the country for resale some I keep for a few months and drive some I sell right away I also have limited space to keep all these vehicles this car blew my mind away when I drove because of the technology and 600hp I would love to keep them all but that’s not what I do .
Love it!
My apologies. I just realized you only bought it four months ago.
Would it be too nosey of me to ask why selling it so soon?
@EnzosDad what ever service performed was under prior ownership I have 2 key everything is performing like it should
Thank you @Gas5757,
- I didn't say you changed a tire. I just pointed out that Carfax and Keeler show that only one tire was mounted on 11/29/22. So I asked if you knew how old are the other three (the only record I see is from 2016, which would indicate the other tires are at least 8 years old).
- Keeler's March/2024 invoice reads (and I paraphrase) "Customer states a brake error light goes off on the dash and brakes are not as strong as they should. Could not replicate error" - I asked for clarification on that, please.
- I asked about coil packs because it's a common fail on these cars and it's based on age, not miles - Ask me how I know :)
- How many keys included?
Thank you!
There is a undercarriage video attached at the time of the 24 point inspection that was performed
@EnzosDad I have not changed any tires and there has not been a brake problem under my ownership. The vehicle was just brought to KeelerMercedes and given a 24 point inspection that is posted. I have never changed coil packs. Everything is working like it should
Car was just brought to Keeler Mercedes-Benz and had a 24 point inspection done. This is the report. Also I will upload a video of what was also performed there as a visual undercarriage inspection.

One more!
- Does it come with all the keys?
A handful of questions if you don't mind:
- Other than one tire being replaced in 2022, it seems like they are from 2016. Could you please confirm?
- Any idea of when the coil packs were replaced last, or are they original to the car?
- The last service indicates there was a concern with the brakes throwing an error code and not working at times. Was that fully addressed?
Thank you!!
