To put that in perspective, this car had an original MSRP north of $220,000. It also previously sold on Bring a Trailer in March 2022 for $87,000, meaning whoever buys it next is getting a significant discount even from its already depreciated second-hand price. That's the beauty and the curse of flagship German luxury sedans: they lose value like water through a sieve, but the car itself doesn't get any less magnificent.2015 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMGAccording to Classic.com's market data for the W222 S65 AMG sedan, the lowest recorded sale for a W222 S65 AMG sedan was $33,700 in March 2025. That floor gives you a sense of just how wide the value range can be depending on condition and mileage. This particular example, with only 26,000 miles and what appears to be a very comprehensive spec sheet, should command more than that basement figure. At its current bid, this feels like reasonable territory for a well-equipped, low-mileage S65, though the Carfax-reported damage from 2016 and the repainted rear fender will give some buyers pause.The offerMake: Mercedes-BenzModel: S65 AMG (W222)Year: 2015Mileage: 26,000 milesEngine: Twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter M279 V12Power: 621 horsepower, 738 lb-ft of torqueTransmission: Seven-speed automaticDrive type: Rear-wheel driveExterior color: Black (040)Interior color: Silk Beige and Espresso Brown Exclusive Nappa leatherCurrent bid: $52,343Auction end date: Sunday, June 7, 2026 at 8:45 PMAdvertisementAdvertisementInterested in this 2015 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG?

LED headlights with active curve illumination handle visibility, and the car features a panoramic sunroof, soft-close doors, Parktronic parking sensors, and quad exhaust outlets.2015 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMGUnder that long hood sits the hand-built M279 twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12, factory rated at 621 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and a staggering 738 lb-ft of torque available from just 2,300 rpm. That's enough to launch this nearly 5,000-pound luxury sedan to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds, which is genuinely hilarious when you consider you can be getting a back massage while doing it. The seven-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels and shifts with the kind of seamlessness you'd expect from Mercedes' flagship.2015 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMGThe interior is where this car truly earns its price tag. Silk Beige and Espresso Brown Exclusive Nappa leather covers heated, ventilated, and massaging multicontour seats in both the front and rear. The rear cabin is essentially a first-class lounge, complete with heated and ventilated outboard seats with position memory, power window sunshades, and a dual-screen entertainment system with remotes and two sets of headphones. Up front, the driver gets a heated steering wheel with paddle shifters, a configurable 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a head-up display, Night View Assist Plus, a surround-view camera system, and adaptive cruise control. The Burmester High-End 3D Surround Sound system, which is the full flagship audio package complete with the large speaker in the leather headliner, fills the cabin.2015 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG quick takeThe W222 S-Class represented a quantum leap in automotive luxury when it debuted, and the S65 AMG was the version that answered the question nobody asked but everyone secretly wanted answered: what happens when you put 621 horsepower and a twin-turbo V12 in a full-size luxury sedan and then add every conceivable comfort feature? The answer is something that can embarrass sports cars at a stoplight while your rear passengers watch a movie and enjoy a massage.AdvertisementAdvertisementDisclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
