1954 saw Mercedes-Benz release their SL or ‘Super Leicht’ class, which made it into the US as well as the German manufacturer’s contender for the personal luxury car segment, as well as the grand tourer segment. Fast forward to 2021 and the model is still around, with 2022 receiving the latest iteration. If you’ve always lusted after an SL – and you’d be surprised just how many people do – here’s a nice 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG from California with just 9,310 miles on the clock. This car wore a sticker price of $222,425 when new.
The R231-generation SL of which this 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG belongs to was slightly wider and longer than the previous generation, and sports the famous powered folding aluminum roof that gives you the best of open-topped motoring coupled with a proper metal roof above your head. This example wears a stunning Obsidian Black Metallic shade which is one of the options ticked, the other is the AMG High Contrast Styling Package that ran $4,950 at purchase. Gloss Black Diamond-Turned AMG alloy wheels with red brake calipers peeping through the spokes complete the appearance. Of course, the side flanks wear the ‘V12 Biturbo’ badges, telling you that there’s some serious firepower under the hood of this car, a sentiment echoed by the AMG badges front and rear and the quad exhaust outlets. Venture aboard and it’s an affair for two only, with two electrically adjustable memory seats that are heated and ventilated to boot, and a black with white accents interior color scheme. Dual-zone climate control, infotainment system, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system are some of the special comforts on board. The 220mph speedometer is in stark contrast to the units on lesser Star-badged cars and is another hint at what this car packs under the hood. A classy IWC-badged analog clock is specific to the SL65.
Let’s get down to business. This 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG packs the most potent engine offered in this generation, the 6.0L M279 V12 with twin turbochargers helping it push out a faintly ridiculous 621hp and 738lb-ft. In fact, the engine is capable of kicking out more torque, and has to be limited by the factory to 738lb-ft to protect the AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission, that sends drive to the rear wheels. Those massive, ventilated disc brakes on all four wheels ensure that the stopping power is more than ample for this potent engine.

Cruising in luxury and style exposes you to a host of choices, but narrow it down, and it's certain that a chilled-out drive experience is best enjoyed behind the wheel of a roadster. Now that you have this narrowed down, its time to pick the right roadster to enhance your drive feel, feeling overwhelmed with the choices available? Worry not, this 2015 Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG with a reported 12,150 miles on the clock is the perfect way to liven up your weekend drives in style.
From manufacturing the first car in the world, Mercedes Benz has strived to stay true to their slogan “The Best or Nothing.” Their SL series was initially introduced in 1954 as a racing sports car, but later, it was made into a production version to cater to the personal luxury sports car market. With the dawn of the new century, the 5th generation SL was introduced with all-new styling and continued the previous generation's trend of factory-available AMG versions. With fewer than 3,000 units ever made, this example of the 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG is a rare find. It shows just over 33,000 miles on the clock available for sale in California.
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is a masterpiece that seamlessly blends the secure comfort of a coupe with the exhilarating freedom of a convertible, thanks to its innovative three-piece retractable hardtop. Boasting an interior filled with meticulous details and an extensive array of standard features and options, the 2015 SL-Class offered a range of engines, with the spotlight here on the highest-powered variant—the 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Roadster, featuring a formidable V12 engine. With a mere 11,570 miles on the odometer, this example stands out as a rare gem.
Mercedes-Benz has a fine array of grand tourers, but if you want a true-blue sports car with a star on its nose, the Mercedes-AMG GT is as fine as they come. Introduced in 2014, the AMG GT is now in its second generation of production. It’s a fearsome two-door fastback coupe with a twin-turbo V8 under its hood. Hence, it makes for a fine car to drive regularly, and we have a 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 55 for sale right now. This 3,000-mile machine comes with a 469 horsepower 4.0-liter V8, an AMG Speedshift MCT 9-speed automatic gearbox, all-wheel drive and a host of tech features. It’s currenrly available in Dallas.
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands in stark contrast to the rest of this iconic German luxury car maker’s offerings. Its boxy, prominent, and can venture off-road with gusto. Introduced in 1979 as a military machine on the request of the Shah of Iran, civilian variants emerged in 1979. Since then, the G-Class has gained the typical Mercedes-Benz luxury features and technological highlights, but maintains its immense off-road capabilities. This 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is one fine example and it’s up for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. With 94,604 miles on it, you can tell that it’s meant to be driven. Plus, given its off-road abilities, this is the perfect family vehicle for the outdoors-loving crowd.
