2016 Mercedes-AMG SL65 For Sale With 184 MilesAutoblogKyle EdwardThu, September 17, 2026 at 12:12 AM UTCAdd us on GoogleAutoblog and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article.Delivery mileage on a ten-year-old V12 roadster is rare enough to reset the whole assessment. This black SL65 was bought new by its only owner and has covered 184 miles since, spending most of that decade on display rather than on the road. Bidding stands at $80,000 with five days remaining and 13 bids placed.2016 Mercedes-AMG SL65Bring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowMarket data from Classic.com puts the average R231 SL65 sale at $100,536 with a market benchmark of $107,938, spanning $45,000 for a 2013 in July 2024 to a high of $190,000 for a 2016 in February 2025. Only three examples are currently listed for sale.AdvertisementAdvertisementMileage places this one near the top of that range. At 184 miles it is effectively a new 2016 car, with one owner and a clean Carfax supporting the claim, though deferred fluid services and decade-old tires temper it. Fair value lands between $125,000 and $165,000, with $142,000 most likely. The current bid of $80,000 carries 13 bids and five days to run.2016 Mercedes-AMG SL65Bring a TrailerCondition and detailsEquipment is close to comprehensive. The car carries a power-retractable hardtop with a panoramic roof and Magic Sky Control, staggered 19-inch and 20-inch AMG 10-spoke forged wheels, AMG-tuned Active Body Control, bi-xenon headlights with Active Curve Illumination, Distronic Plus, blind-spot monitoring, Lane Keeping Assist, Parktronic, heated and ventilated active multi-contour seats with massage in diamond-stitched AMG Black leather, Airscarf, Keyless Go, Bang & Olufsen audio, and COMAND navigation.2016 Mercedes-AMG SL65Bring a TrailerStorage rather than use defines the maintenance question. The seller states plainly that oil was changed annually but that no other fluid services were completed, which leaves transmission, differential, brake, coolant, and Active Body Control hydraulic fluid original to 2016. On a car with this specification, the ABC system is the one that matters most, since its pumps, struts, and valve blocks carry five-figure repair potential when neglected.2016 Mercedes-AMG SL65Bring a TrailerTwo further items need pricing. The seller notes the tires carry 10 and 11-year date codes and recommends replacing them before the car is driven seriously, which is unusually direct and worth heeding. No window sticker accompanies the car, though the books, manuals, and a car cover do. A pre-purchase inspection at a Mercedes-Benz dealer should include a full fluid analysis and an Active Body Control pressure test before bidding.2016 Mercedes-AMG SL65Bring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeMercedes-AMGModelSL65 (R231)Year2016Mileage184 milesEngineTwin-turbocharged 6.0-liter M279 V12Power621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torqueTransmissionSeven-speed AMG Speedshift MCT automaticDrive typeRear wheel drive with limited-slip differentialExterior colorBlackInterior colorAMG Black leatherCurrent bid$80,000 with five days remainingInterested in this car? View the listing here.What makes the SL65 uniqueTwelve cylinders in a roadster became an endangered idea. AMG kept the twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 in the R231 SL through 2018, producing 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft in a body that also folds its own roof away, and nothing comparable has replaced it. The M279 was hand-assembled, and the torque figure alone explains why the seven-speed MCT was chosen over a conventional automatic.2016 Mercedes-AMG SL65Bring a TrailerRarity now shapes the values. Mercedes built few SL65s in any year, and the R231 generation ended in 2018 with the R232 SL arriving as an AMG-developed four-cylinder and V8 car carrying no twelve-cylinder option. Classic.com lists only three for sale at present, which is the kind of thinness that produces both $45,000 results and $190,000 ones depending entirely on condition.My takeAt $80,000 with 13 bids and five days to run, my call is $142,000, with $165,000 reachable if two buyers decide 184 miles on a hand-built V12 roadster is the collectible proposition it appears to be. What is on offer is close to a time capsule, since one owner, a clean Carfax, and delivery mileage on a 2016 are a combination that does not come along often. What needs pricing before bidding is everything that ages without being driven, because the seller confirms only oil has been changed in ten years, which leaves the Active Body Control hydraulics and every other fluid original. Budget for a full service and tires, then bid.AdvertisementAdvertisementDisclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
