Opinions on these SLS's for sale

As a member of several forums for other car models, I've found a message thread about current cars for sale is always interesting and informative. Feel free to list SLS AMG's you find for sale, or that have recently sold. Also, you can always go here:

https://www.classic.com/m/mercedes-benz/sls/coupe/

to see the latest average sales price for the standard coupe (they also have a page for GT's and Final Editions.

This 2012 did not meet the reserve at $129K. I think it got hurt because of a crash listed on CarFax, the fact it was in Canada, and people didn't like the speedo with k/hr:

Great thread, but with the latest batch of classic cars damaged by storms, I'd like to know how to recognize a flood damaged car when all of the typical things like soggy carpets and mud in the wheel wells have been cleaned? Are there higher levels of moisture in the upholstery or the headliner? Are there signs of damage to electrical wiring or trunk insulation that aren't easily masked? Any input greatly appreciated.

The car above will be auctioned with a salvage title. Otherwise, I’m not sure how anyone would know about any potential problem?!?

Typically water lines/marks behind door panels and metal starts to rust under seats.

Good luck with the asking price for the white 2014! Multiple owners, no service records before 6k miles (at least none that I could find as it was owned by MB up until this time), replaced windshield, only has a couple of options, no B/O sound, and it’s missing the unobtainable carbon fiber battery cover (shocking how this piece goes missing). It appears to have spent its earlier years in Monterey California, so maybe it was used as in conjunction with the AMG Driving Academy (pure speculation on my part).

What is the typical premium for a GT, over a standard SLS? I thought it was around $7k-8k. Does that sound about right?

For identical cars, probably $10,000ish difference. I could see the “right” car possibly bringing as much as $20k more.

Like the 2013 above, good luck with the price! Multiple owners/auctions, lacks options! I hope it sells for that price!
