Eitan

Hello gents,
I am in the market to buy a used SLS-R and I am wondering if anyone knows if and when MB is going to come out with a new body or a refreshened body/lights/ faschia for the SLS. Most car companies do this after 3 ro 4 years of a new model, so that would be next model year as far as the SLS in concerned. Your help is much appreciated .


Regards,

Eitan

Hello
apparently nothing will be changed except the GT, some minor changes to the Bluetooth and the sign will be in black instead of red.

///AMG 6.3

once the black series is over and done with, the sls is going to be done, there isn't going to be a refresh.

New Mercedes SLS planned & it won’t be a hybrid.

March 17, 2013 By Cars UK
AMG’s Tobias Moers has confirmed that a new Mercedes SLS is planned – as is a sub-SLS SLC – but it won’t come with hybrid power and electric assistance.

The Geneva Motor Show – which ends this weekend – has seen a proper supercar bonanza with the new LaFerrari and McLaren P1 stealing the show with dramatic looks and dramatic power, both helped by a healthy dose of electric assistance to add a green, and performance, edge.
But the Mercedes take on a supercar – the Mercedes SLS – isn’t set to go down the KERS route ant time soon according to AMG’s Director of Vehicle Development, Tobias Moers, who said that a next generation SLS – which is under development – would rely on weight saving and engine tweaking, just like the new Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series (pictured above), rather than electric assistance for its performance.
Moers also said that Mercedes and AMG realised that the AMG brand doesn’t have the cachet of Ferrari and they have no plans to produce a car to go head to head with LaFerrari (or even the McLaren P1) so we won’t be seeing a hyper-SLS pushed upmarket in to the firing line of Ferrari any time soon.
But Moers also said that Mercedes are looking at producing a ‘baby’ SLS, something we’ve been reporting on since 2009, confirming our report last year that the second AMG model would arrive as the Mercedes SLC to slot above Mercedes’ AMG badged models as the second pure AMG model, complete with rear wheel drive and a V8 under the bonnet.
The Mercedes SLS (and the Mercedes SLC) may not quite have the cachet of a Ferrari, but a new SLS should run it close on performance and it will be good to see a smaller front-engined V8 with rear wheel drive in the new Mercedes SLC.
Looks promising.

Looks like they are planning two new models, a new SLS and the baby "SLC". I'm not sure how reliable that source is though.

Eitan

Seems pretty reliable to me..... Thank you for sharing. I wonder what this is going to do to the value of the current SLS models..

Before I picked up the Black Series I was considering a used SLS as the prices have already dropped pretty well. There was a mint 2011 near me with 2,000 miles on the odometer priced at $167,000. That was $40k under sticker. Check cars.com and other sites and you can find some steals.

I think that's the one i just bought.
Alubeam silver? fully loaded with every option?

I've been seeing some prices fluctuate lately.

I know there are quite a few leftover 2012's on dealer lots that they want to get rid of. I was offered $15k off the bat with no negotiation, but I'm not totally ready yet. I'm sure they could go lower. Hopefully they'll be suffering in Dec. and I can get a good deal.

Could be, it was silver at Mercedes of Coral Gables. Beautiful car

Its certainly on my next car list.

egldman

As far as i know there is no new SLS.

Eitan(yes thats my name)

Eitan

That is one handsome name...

egldman

Yes indeed, so you know there is an Eitan with an SLS.

I've seen a few 2011 SLS' on Autotrader for around $150K with 1,700-12,000 miles

Seams like the prices have been dropping since the GT replaced the standard SLS

There were even some lower mileage 2012 roadsters for around $165K!

At this rate give them another year or so and you might be able to pick one up for around $120K

egldman

A fully loaded 2011 was much more then 207k.

egldman

Good luck with that.

Luck must be on his side as they are now down to $144K asking..therefore if you show patience you might be able to get one slightly south of $140K and by next year this time $120 is starting to look good.

CharlestonN

Yeap, there is already one on auto trader with 26K miles for $139K

Easily going to be around $120K next year

Frankster

Geez, the GTs really knocked down the '11 & '12 cars. Really can't rely on AMGs to hold their values very well.

I was actually told by a salesman at MB of Boston that they had a 2011 silver SLS with low miles they couldn't get rid of for a while that they finally let go for 127k.

CharlestonN

There was a 2011 on AutoTrader yesterday for $128K with around 8K miles and now it's gone

The roadsters still seam to be holding their value fairly well though, the cheapest I've seen is around $163K

My friend just bought a brand new 2012 SLS Convertible for 165.... $70k off MSRP and this is in Canada....
