A 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe is up for auction on Cars and Bids, offering the full gullwing experience in a package that looks aimed at someone who actually plans to use it. The car is listed with 67,500 miles, Iridium Silver Metallic paint, and a Classic Red interior, and it is being sold out of Marietta, Georgia with a reserve in place and bidding sitting around $160,000 at last check.
A Driver Miles Gullwing Supercar
The SLS remains one of the most distinctive modern AMG cars, because the shape, the doors, and the naturally aspirated V8 all feel like they come from a brief moment when Mercedes decided to build something theatrical without apology.
Under the hood is the 6.2 liter V8 rated at 563 horsepower and 479 pound feet of torque, driving the rear wheels through a seven speed automatic and a limited slip differential. The listing also calls out 19 inch front and 20 inch rear wheels, heated seats, carbon fiber interior trim, and a Bang and Olufsen surround sound system.
What The Listing Shows
This example sits in a different lane than the low mileage collector cars that sometimes appear, like a 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing, or even a 2011 Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing. Here, the appeal is that the miles suggest the car has been used and maintained rather than stored, although bidders still need to read the disclosures carefully.
The listing references a Carfax history that notes front end damage reported in January 2017, with the seller stating the front right has been repainted. Condition notes include chips on the front end, scratches on the front wheels, tires dated 2016 and 2018, and interior wear on upholstery and door panels. The seller also notes tinted windows, a recent oil and filter change, and replacement door struts, with one key included.
How To Think About Value
For buyers, the main question is whether this is the right SLS lane, because the market has multiple flavors and use cases, including later variants like the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT that can command different money depending on spec and mileage. A higher mile SLS can make sense if you want the experience without paying peak collector premiums, but the tires, paintwork history, and disclosed wear all become part of the real cost of entry.
