2012 AMG SLS Gullwing
Interested in selling my 3.8k mile Alubeam/Designo Red, Help with Pricing?

I have a 2012 SLS AMG with 3798 miles on it in factory option Alubeam with Designo red leather interior. MSRP 205k. Beautiful car in spectacular, show condition. Full 3M clear bra on all painted surfaces put on in July 2019. Not a lot of options. It has the C52 Leather/Alcantara steering wheel and the 281 indoor car cover. Just ordered new tires to put on for the spring season but state quarantine here in the northeast has kept me from getting to the dealer to get them put on. Always garaged; never wrecked with no stories. I'm the second owner and have the clean title in hand.

Spouse wants me to sell but I'm not actually sure I want to sell. I DO need lift space in my garage for a new toy and this is the car I like/use the least. Given the rarity of the color but lack of options, what do you think would be reasonable pricing if I decided to sell ?

First of all, beautiful car! Excellent color combination and miles. As mentioned, limited options doesn’t help. In today’s market, I’d ask $149k. Hope that helps.
