This 2008 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG was originally new in Minnesota where it remained until 2017 when it relocated to Alabama. In 2020 the car moved to Florida where it is currently offered for sale by the selling dealer. Finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic (359) over an Exclusive Beige Leather (514) interior, this AMG S-Class is powered by a hand-assembled AMG 6.0L bi-turbo V12 M275 engine paired with a five-speed automatic transmission and rear wheel drive. Features include Distronic Plus, Night View Assist, heated and ventilated active multi-contour seats in the front and rear, a Panoramic glass sunroof, electric window shades, Bi-Xenon headlights, Keyless-Go, COMAND infotainment system, Harman Kardon surround sound, a heated steering wheel, and more. An oil service was performed in preparation for the sale. This S65 AMG shows 107k miles and is now offered by the selling dealer with factory literature, two factory keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
The body is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic (359) and features AMG-specific body work including sculpted front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and quad exhaust outlets. The paint is believed to bee all original and no accidents or damage are reported on the Carfax. Additional exterior equipment includes Bi-Xenon headlights with active curve illumination, infrared-tinted windows, programmable power fold-in side mirrors, and a panoramic sunroof. The seller notes some scuffs on the lower under portion of the front bumper.
Aftermarket RUFF 20" wheels are wrapped in 255/35 front and 275/35 rear Yokohama Advan tires with braking provided by AMG-enhanced dual-circuit power-assist 4-wheel disc brakes with AMG dual sliding calipers in the front and AMG single-piston sliding calipers in the rear with active body control suspension.
The cabin of this S65 AMG shows quilted Exclusive Beige Leather (514) across the seats and door cards with additional leather across the stitched lower dashboard and armrests. Burl wood trim accents the heated steering wheel, dashboard, center console, and rear climate stack. The front seats feature heated and ventilated multi-contour functions, and the rear seats show controls for heat, ventilation, power reclining movements, and lumbar support. Amenities include stainless-steel door sill trim with AMG insignia, 4-zone automatic climate control, Keyless-Go, a Harman Kardon surround sound system, power rear-window sunshades, hands-free communication system with voice control, and power-assisted door closure. Driving aids feature Night View Assist and Distronic Plus.
The heated, AMG-design wood/leather-trimmed steering wheel frames a digital display with a 220-mph speedometer, a 7K-rpm tachometer, an AMG Racetimer, and indicators for coolant temperature and fuel level. Multifunction displays are controlled by buttons mounted to the steering wheel and the digital odometer indicates 107k miles.
This AMG 6.0L bi-turbo V12 M275 engine was factory rated at 604 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an AMG-enhanced five-speed automatic transmission with AMG Speedshift. The engine is covered in an AMG-exclusive carbon fiber airbox showing the signature of the single-engine maker emblazoned on a plaque at the center of the airbox. An engine oil service was recently performed in preparation for the sale.
The included Carfax report shows linear mileage updates, with no accidents or damage from new. This Tanzanite Blue S65 AMG shows 107k miles and is now offered by the selling dealer with factory literature, two factory keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
The debut of the W221 S-Class turned heads and revealed one of the best looking modern Mercedes of the era. Dramatic arch flares and a sleek roof line captured attention but the S65 AMG took it to yet another level. In standard flagship fashion, the S65 AMG boasted unique trim, exclusive materials, and that oh-so-famous AMG bi-turbo V12. This specific example boasts an extra level of exclusivity with Tanzanite Blue Metallic paint over an Exclusive Beige Leather interior. The long list of options on this example also adds to the desirabililty of this AMG. We can personally attest to the build quality, value proposition, and fun factory of the W221 S65 AMG and are confident the next owner will appreciate this car as much as an enthusiast could.

Per my last comment The vehicle, this S65 was stored indoors Sorry spell check changed the comment
This idea is stored in-doors and is located on the east coast of FL, we were fortunate not to be effected by the recent weather
Is it unaffected by recent weather?

We didn’t get any additional service records with the car when we took it in trade. You can check the Carfax out, some of those service records are pretty detailed
Also interested in service records for this S65. Thank you!
