This 2007 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG Designo Graphite Edition shows California history under one owner from new with 38k miles on the odometer. Finished in Designo Graphite Metallic (041) over Designo Corteccia Nappa Leather (X49), power is provided by a hand-built 6.0-liter biturbo V12 mated to a AMG SpeedShift five-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Factory equipment includes a panorama sunroof, Bi-Xenon headlamps, Parktronic parking sensors, a rear view camera, Distronic cruise control, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, multicontour front seats, four-zone automatic climate control and a Harman/Kardon audio system. Recent maintenance performed by the seller includes a safety inspection and a new starter battery. This S65 AMG is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean one-owner Carfax report and a clean California title.
Designo Graphite Metallic (041) paint covers the AMG body styling which includes a larger front air dam, sculpted side skirts and bumper covers and AMG dual twin exhaust pipes. Exterior features include a panorama sunroof, Bi-Xenon HID headlamps, power-folding mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, infrared-reflective glass, Distronic adaptive cruise control, Parktronic parking sensors, a rear view camera and an electronic trunk closer. The paint shows no signs of prior body work with the seller noting a small scuff on the left side of the rear bumper and minor scratches on the front bumper.
The 20” AMG five-spoke alloy wheels are fitted with Pirelli P Zero tires which measure 255/35 front and 275/35 rear. Date codes on the tires read between 2013 and 2016. No signs of curb rash are visible on the wheels. Braking is handled by silver-painted AMG calipers with ventilated discs front and rear. The AMG-modified Active Body Control hydraulic suspension offers driver-selectable ride height.
The Designo Graphite Edition includes Designo Corteccia Nappa Leather (X49), a Charcoal Alcantara headliner and Matte Oak wood trim which lines the center console, dash, steering wheel and door panels. Both front seats are heated and ventilated with dynamic multicontour adjustment and three-position memory. Interior appointments include power-adjustable heated and ventilated rear seats, four-zone automatic climate control, COMAND with hard-drive navigation, Night View Assist, interior ambient lighting, power rear and rear side-window sunshades, an analog IWC clock and a 14-speaker Harman/Kardon Logic7 surround sound system.
The wood leather steering wheel fronts an AMG-specific cluster which includes a digital 220-mph speedometer, an analog 7k-rpm tachometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The central display is configurable and comes equipped with an AMG RaceTimer. The digital odometer currently shows 38k miles from new.
A carbon fiber engine cover sits atop the hand-built 6.0-liter biturbo V12 which is rated for 604 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an AMG SpeedShift five-speed automatic transmission. Maintenance performed by the seller includes a Wisconsin safety inspection and a new starter battery. Underbody photos provided by the seller show no signs of corrosion

A driving video has been provided by the seller below.
The W221 harkened in a new era of S-Class dominance with reliability, luxury, and cross-platform competition that rivaled the best of the US, EU and Japan. The S65, epitomizing the height of luxury, technological capability, and performance, excelled in every single competitive class while also providing a seamlessly beautiful package to deliver the deceptive device. Armed with nearly 800 ft-lbs of torque and every conceivable option available for the 2010's, this vehicle exceeded the expectations of not only cultivated car buyers, but also critics of the time. With night vision, distronic radar cruise and planet-altering torque, this ultra-flagship model of the big-body Benz was a highlight that still demands top attention (and dollars) from collectors who understand that market depreciation does not necessarily equal devaluation. This S65 AMG is particularly special as a Designo Graphite Edition featuring special paint and a Designo two-tone Corteccia and Charcoal interior. To top that, this example has only 38k miles from one previous owner and the Designo Matte Natural Wood adds the finishing touches. As if S65 ownership wasn't exclusive enough, this particular car takes it to another level.

Quick question, since you are a dealer, if I end up winning would you be OK with putting the entire car whatever it ends up being on an AmEx?

@supertrkre2812. Unfortunately I do not. When cars are traded in, the dealer discards all records for privacy concerns. With that being said, this one appears to have been extremely well maintained. The coil packs appear to have date codes from 2016 on them per my tech. It’s hard to tell without completely removing them. The cars brakes are good all around and are not original. It also had a recent oil change sticker. This car is has had a single owner since new. Most people that buy and hold a $200k car typically maintain them! Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Wow!

Do you have ANY kind of maintenance records? According to Carfax, It has never been to a dealer for anything. Any turbo oil seals replaced, coil packs replaced, oil changes? Beautiful car.

Alas, I have the coin to buy it but I fear not maintain it. But, oooooooh, if I did.... GLWTA, and cheers to the winner.
