This AMG sedan is protected by a transferrable five-year, 100,000-mile “bumper-to-bumper” warranty underwritten by Carmax protecting the vehicle through the earlier of either May 2026 or 100,000 miles. This warranty covers all components and systems on the entire vehicle except for consumables and interior trim wear & tear. A $50 deductible applies to the warranty when serviced at a Mercedes-Benz dealer or other dealer/independent mechanic, or a $0 deductible applies when the car is dropped for service at a Carmax location and subsequently transferred to Mercedes-Benz for repair.

Service indicated on the attached Carfax shows regular dealer service history and linear mileage updates throughout the life of the vehicle. In 2009, “very minor damage” was reported to have occurred to the rear bumper of the car one week after its initial purchase date and when the vehicle had less than 100 miles. When the S65 was subsequently offered as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle at the original selling dealership - Mercedes-Benz of Fort Lauderdale – a TrueFrame 360 Report was ordered which confirmed “Very Minor Cosmetic Repairs” only. A copy of the TrueFrame 360 report and the TrueFrame Certificate of Integrity certifying “Very Minor Cosmetic Repairs” only is viewable in the gallery below along with a recent Autocheck report and recent Carfax report.
