Rookie to the boards here, so I apologize in advance if this is a redundant question. I have searched the boards with a few key words and have not found what I am looking for. I recently reached out to MB to inquire as to production numbers for the 2015 S65 sedan (and S65 in general). It took them about a week to respond and even though the reply began with some semblance of excitement...it was retardedly overstated.

"Thank you kindly for your patience with our process. We are delighted to inform you of the information we have obtained. There is no sales or product info available for 2015 S65 AMG. We have notified the appropriate teams within our organization of your request and determined the production information we unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience. Your satisfaction is paramount to us, and while we can't alter this particular outcome, please know we're here to support you with any other future concerns".

Between the purely copy and paste aspect to the message, misspellings, and wrong tense it seems to me that MB USA has either outsourced their CS to a non-US country or they are not hiring people based on merit LOL. I wanted to ask if anyone knows where I might be able to get the info. Would AMG or MB "proper" be more appropriate to inquire about this info? I appreciate any help!

Welcome to the Forum.
We do know that there were 65 2015 SL65's made, of which, 47 were imported to the US. It is safe to say that more W222 S65's were made than SL65's in 2015. Just a guess from years of looking for and buying S65's I would say about double and not more than triple that number in the US, around 100 to 150.

Hey Tom! Thank you for the info! A swag (gonna include the acronym for those that might not know...Scientific Wild *** Guess) is all I needed! Do you still own all of those cars!?

One of our members, Joe Mattioni, spent 6 months finding and scraping all the data to build the entire SL65 production history. I doubt he will be doing any other AMG models. One of many challenges he had to solve was determining the model year. In the US, it is coded into the serial number. In the ROW, only the calendar year of production is recorded.
I am down to three AMG's in the garage, a W222 S65, an A217 S65 Cabriolet and an R231 SL65. Thanks to Joe I know that my SL65 is the only one ever built in Polar White/Designo Platinum White; any year, any where in the world.

We need a Mark Worman from Graveyard Cars, the guru of Mopar, that is his equivalent in the MB space. That guy is like an encyclopedia along with his buddy Tony D’agostino.
