Hello everyone, I am new to this forum.

I been wanting to buy one for the past few months, preferably 2013 production year and GT model.

I wish you the best of luck as you search. You may consider looking at the options you wish to have on you future SLS as well as the model year. Exterior, interior, top (if RO) colors, ceramic brakes, carbon fiber (interior, extended interior, mirrors, engine, etc), B&O stereo, and wheels. Milage also has a significant effect on value, however if you plan to drive you SLS rather than merely "watch it", milage is less important. Join the owners club, the "Gull Wing Group", which has supported the 300SL since 1961 and the SLS since 2020. I purchased my SLS with 3300 miles in 2018 and have added 12K bulletproof miles!!! The SLS, like the 300SL, was built for driving!!

In over my skis for now!

As a seasoned classic and collectible car dealer, I've allowed more than my fair share of great cars slip through my clutches over 40 years. So I recently purchased a 2012 Gullwing with a $236k MSRP and 140 garage queen miles. So it's not a driver, tucked into the corner of my warehouse in case maybe it's worth more in 10 years. I paid a world's record price from what I know so, it's definitely a long term (not flip) investment. If it goes down in value, I'll just start driving it. I'm either going have fun looking at it grow in value or drive the wheels off it if I'm wrong. If you haven't bought one yet, I think they are stable in value for the moment. Best ones with lowest miles in the tall $200k range. Great drivers with some miles in the tall $100k range. IMHO

My little MB lineup. With a stray Volvo at the end!

There are a few 2013-2015 on Autotrader, Cargurus and CarFax currently for sale. Bring a Trailer auction has some pretty good ones there turn up every couple of weeks. Can you tell us what options and mileage you would consider or not? Thank and good luck with your search.

Want to buy a SLS

It took me a long while to find my perfect SLS as was most particular with my requirements.

As Murphy's Law will sometimes have it I committed to two at the same time, long story if interested, will be delighted to share with you.

No point in having two so put one up for sale in duPont Registry, I believe, aggressively priced - https://www.dupontregistry.com/autos...s--amg/2526003

Lots to peruse, when you have read do call as have lots more info to share including my investigative work comparing a 2013 - 404-388-4427

It's on my to do list to advertise here shortly.
