This 2015 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG was sold new by Silver Star Mercedes-Benz in Long Island, NY and moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and then California with the first owner. Subsequent registrations are noted in California and NY through 2026. The current owner and seller acquired the car in 2023 and has added approximately 1,800 miles of the 83k miles shown. This S65 wears a 3M matte pearl white wrap and is finished in Designo Diamond White Metallic (799) over Porcelain & Black Exclusive Exclusive Nappa Leather (585) and is powered by a hand-built 6.0-liter biturbo V12 engine mated to a seven-speed AMG SpeedShift automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Original MSRP for this S65 was $238k with notable options and features including Carbon Ceramic Brakes, Executive Rear Seat PLUS, Rear Console Refrigerator, SPLITVIEW, Magic Body Control, Multi-Contour Seats for all four passengers, Distronic PLUS, Parktronic, configurable ambient lighting, and much more. Additionally, nearly $8k in RENNtech upgrades were installed in 2021 including a RENNtech ECU tune, a RENNtech TCU tune, and the RENNtech Handheld Suspension Module. Estimated power output is noted to show 670 horsepower and 840 lb-ft of torque. This is a paper-trail-authenticated RENNtech-tuned car with serial numbers. The Carfax report shows 37 service history records, the majority being dealer services. Service records show a pre-purchase inspection by a certified Mercedes-Benz technician in August 2023, followed by a major 80k-mile AMG service at a Mercedes-Benz dealer that included an oil and filter change, serpentine belt and pulleys, transmission service, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, A/C service, alignment, wiper blades, and a post-purchase inspection. Additional work in 2023 included a full interior detail, exterior ceramic coating, new rear tires, state inspection, and replacement of the center console COMAND unit. Subsequent maintenance included oil and filter services in August 2024 and August 2025, state inspection in October 2024, steering column inspection and lubrication in August 2025, new front tires in May 2026, and a comprehensive ABC suspension service in June 2026 with fluid flush, new filter, replacement pulsation dampers, and factory system calibration. This S65 AMG is offered for sale by the current owner in New York with partial service history, the original manufacturer’s literature, an original window sticker, a Carfax report, and a clean NY title.
The exterior wears a 3M matte pearl white film wrap. Underneath it’s finished in Designo Diamond White Metallic (799) with AMG body styling including sculpted bumpers and side skirts.The brushed aluminum trim is wrapped in black film including the window trim, grille, and lower features. Exterior equipment includes Parktronic with Active Parking Assistance, Driver Assistance with Distronic Plus and Active Lane Keeping Assist, Night View Assist, Keyless-Go, LED headlamps and a panoramic tilt/slide glass sunroof. The seller notes minor bubbling on the chrome trim beneath the front grille, which is a common cosmetic issue on early W222 models. A new, uninstalled aftermarket gloss-black grille is included in the sale. The 3M Pearl Matte wrap is approximately five years old but remains in excellent condition due to garage-kept ownership.
The 20” AMG forged multi-spoke alloy wheels wear a matte black finish and come fitted with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires measuring 255/40 front and 285/35 rear showing 2025 date codes. The S65 features AMG adaptive sport suspension with Magic Body control which makes use of a forward-facing camera to scan the road to adapt to upcoming curves. AMG Carbon Ceramic brakes are fitted on all four corners with the calipers wearing a factory-AMG orange finish with black AMG lettering-a $9k option rarely seen on an S-Class.
The cabin is upholstered in Porcelain & Black Nappa Leather (585) and features black AMG floor mats, an AMG embossed center console and wood trim lining the center console, dashboard and door panels. Notably this cabin features the Executive Rear Seat Package PLUS which includes 2 rear multi-contour seats, a wood-trimmed rear center console with tray tables and heated and cooled cup holders. Additionally, the rear includes a refrigerator and individual rear seat entertainment. Standard features include a nappa leather headliner, keyless-Go, power sunshades, soft close doors, the air balance package, and the Burmester High-End 3D stereo.
The leather-wrapped AMG performance steering wheel fronts a configurable digital gauge cluster showing a 360 km/h speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer with V12 Biturbo badging. The digital odometer currently reads 83k miles with 1,800 added by the current owner. Aluminum paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel allow for manual control of the seven-speed AMG SpeedShift transmission.
This W222 AMG sedan is powered by a hand-built 6.0-liter biturbo V12 engine. Nearly $8k in RENNtech upgrades have been installed including a RENNtech ECU tune, a RENNtech TCU tune, and the RENNtech Handheld Suspension Module. Estimated power output is noted to show 670 horsepower and 840 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed AMG SpeedShift automatic transmission. A carbon fiber engine covers adorns the engine bay with a signed plaque from the AMG technician who assembled the engine. Service records show a pre-purchase inspection by a certified Mercedes-Benz technician in August 2023, followed by a major 80k-mile AMG service at a Mercedes-Benz dealer that included an oil and filter change, serpentine belt and pulleys, transmission service, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, A/C service, alignment, wiper blades, and a post-purchase inspection. Subsequent maintenance included oil and filter services in August 2024 and August 2025, state inspection in October 2024, steering column inspection and lubrication in August 2025, new front tires in May 2026, and a comprehensive ABC suspension service in June 2026 with fluid flush, new filter, replacement pulsation dampers, and factory system calibration.
The Carfax report shows linear mileage updates from new. This S65 AMG is offered for sale by the current owner in New York with partial service history, the original manufacturer’s literature, RENNtech records, an original window sticker, a Carfax report, and a clean NY title.
The S65 AMG has always represented Mercedes-Benz excess in its most refined form, and this 2015 example shows exactly why these cars remain so special. Beneath the restrained W222 bodywork sits the hand-built 6.0-liter M279 AMG V12, paired with the 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT transmission and delivering the kind of effortless, turbine-smooth power that simply does not exist in modern Mercedes-Benz showrooms anymore. This example is especially compelling in designo Diamond White and carried an original MSRP of $238,270, reflecting a remarkably high level of equipment. Showing 83k miles, this S65 has clearly been enjoyed, but its specification is what sets it apart. Between the V12 powertrain, designo finish, executive rear cabin, carbon ceramics, and RENNtech upgrades, this is not simply a fast S-Class, it is one of the most complete expressions of modern AMG luxury and performance.

wondering the same thing?@Meeyatch1 just dm me, in discussionSo, did this sell, or still available? I was driving to Chicago and missed the end. Please advise if still available. Thank you.$45,500 bid placed by @BlueridgeMB
Insane value here! Kudos to whoever spec'd this one out new!One hour left. Genuinely appreciate every question, comment, and bid — this has been a great process to watch unfold. For any last-minute questions before close: I'm here, phone in hand, will respond within minutes. Happy to jump on a FaceTime call for any serious final-hour bidder who wants a live look at anything specific. Whoever brings her home — you're getting the last true V12 S-Class, in a spec that took real intention to build. Enjoy her. Thanks all.$45,000 bid placed by @akshaypunwatkar

@rhartsough1 Fair take on preferences — color is personal. I prefer black interior and got this because it has black lining everywhere, include the floor which makes it look sharper. For context, the interior is Porcelain (585), not pure white though, in exclusive Nappa leather which handles wear better than standard leather. The photos are honest — the cabin shows normal wear consistent with 82k miles and is far from "yellowed." I already took shots in different lighting, sunny, cloudy, inside the garage, etc. Walk through video reflects how it looks with low lighting. Happy to send close-up shots to any serious bidder who wants to evaluate the actual condition.If this were blue or black - with a black interior — it’d be tempting. As is the white interior is so bad…it ages so poorly. Already looks yellowed. Will never understand why Mercedes has made so many cars with white leather. Ages poorly and impossible to clean without destroying the dye.@akshaypunwatkar Great, specific question. Pulling directly from the RENNtech invoice What's installed: RENNtech ECU Upgrade for the W222 S65 V12 BiTurbo (Item Code 54.222.S65BT, ECU serial me09048) RENNtech TCU Upgrade for the 722.9 seven-speed (Item Code 27.722.9.TS) RENNtech HSM (Handheld Suspension Module) OEM M275 V12 air filters (installed with the tune) This is RENNtech's software-focused package for the M279 — ECU + TCU + HSM. The invoice reflects that. The TCU tune is worth calling out specifically because on the M279 the stock 722.9 has a torque limiter that throttles the ECU tune's output — the TCU upgrade unlocks that ceiling, which is why RENNtech pairs the two. RENNtech quotes 670 hp / 840 lb-ft for this specific package on the M279. I don't have a dyno sheet on this car, so I'm citing RENNtech's published figures rather than measured output. The reason for not doing more hardware is to not risk the car to fail CA's strict inspection and emissions and not to mess with the factory AMG cats which are actually produce a better sound. The car passed NYS state inspection and emissions without an issue.Which specific RENNtech package is installed on this S65? Need to know if it’s strictly an ECU tune or if it includes downpipes, blow-off valves, or intercooler pump upgrades$37,500 bid placed by @akshaypunwatkar

@hasib32 No vibrations at high speeds. It also got a wheel alignment at the dealer (it's in the records). The care is very stable and wobbling or anything. Due to CCBs, the rotors are not warped, so braking is ultra smooth, that's the best part of this car. The car is heavy but braking is so good, plus no brake dust on the wheels. Thanks for bidding!$35,000 bid placed by @hasib32
Nice car! Haven’t seem this spec anywhere! Any vibrations at high speeds, is the steering stable at high speeds? Thank youThanks to everyone who has taken time to look at the car, ask questions, and bid — genuinely appreciate the engagement. With 24 hours left, a few quick notes: On rarity: From my searching, I'm not seeing another W222 M279 S65 currently listed on BaT, Cars & Bids, or the major auction platforms — please correct me if I've missed one. These cars come to market rarely, and RENNtech-documented examples with this option stack are rarer still. On the Carfax: For full transparency, the Carfax shows three damage events across the car's life — the June 2019 deer strike I described earlier (front and right front, categorized as "minor to moderate," repaired at MB of Encino), plus two minor damage reports in October 2020 and January 2022 during prior ownership -- no info or collidion repair on them from the dealers. Structural, airbag, and title-brand checks are all clean per Carfax. Under my ownership: zero incidents. For questions: Happy to answer anything in the comments, via DM, or over a FaceTime walkaround if that helps. I'll be responsive through the close of the auction. Thanks again for the interest.@NewAge I don't have them. Only information I got from the respective dealers. No written records were shared due to client privacy. However, the first was confirmed as deer strike and the other two were not clear or was no collision repair work they did. No incidents under my ownership.Do you have any photos or records from any of the accidents? Thank you$26,500 bid placed by @Kfuller

Why M279 S65? https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1D9v6SKMQ3/?mibextid=wwXIfr@Kfuller They are Full Carbon Ceramics. I got the brake service at the MB dealer in 2023. The pads and rotors are all under tolerance limits and the MB dealer said they will be good until 180-200k under normal use.I don’t see brake pad replacement on service records? Did I miss something or possibly the previous owners didn’t use the brakes much Not a chance lol$23,500 bid placed by @Kfuller

@RIAMG There is the original AMG factory Carbon fiber with metal center, hand signed by the AMG factory technician who assembled the engine See photo 126. It is in perfect condition, so scratches or missing parts. A letter was missing from AMG but my MB dealer ordered the lettering and fixed it. I have invoice for that. I removed it to take pictures of dry engine block and lines. One picture with a close up shot did no make it here. But it comes with the car. It's funny you asked this. I was pretty particular about the engine cover when I purchased too. It is like $3500 or something but the original signature will still be missing. I got mine ceramic coated as well haha$20,250 bid placed by @RIAMG
Is there an engine cover? I would expect the original one or the renntech modified cover? maybe I missed it in the photos.@stephenr Wire transfer or cashiers check. Clean NY title in my name will be signed and transferred to the buyer once 100% funds clear. Buyer can pick the vehicle in-person or arrange for a transportation, I will coordinate with the loading. Happy bidding! Let me know any other specific questions here or in the DM. Thank you.If you win the auction. What kind of payment can be made?Front tires are brand new that I just got 2 months ago, have <100 miles on it Rear tires were replaced in the of 2023 by the dealer during the 80k mile major service and have ~1000 miles on it They are staggered set and all are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S The rear tires wear out fast due to the train torque the car produces to it's rear differential.Just wanted to share a few snaps I took today when I took the queen out for a quick scroll on a nice summer morning! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nZZnhwcez-xCOav7EK1hl_z15XcuW_g4?usp=drive_link@Meeyatch1 Thanks for the kind words and the good questions. • Keys: The car comes with one original master key fob (covered in AMG metal case); a second was not with the car when I acquired it in 2023. The key is in good condition, no worn out rubber buttons. My nearest MB Dealer quoted me $752 for a second key fob. • Manuals: Complete original owner’s book set in the factory leather portfolio — main owner’s manual, COMAND/infotainment manual, quick-reference guide, warranty booklet, and maintenance/service book. • Documentation: Original window sticker (also shown in the listing gallery), original RENNtech invoice with ECU serial number, service records under my ownership at MB of Latham, and paperwork from Owner 4’s purchase from House of Imports in 2022. • Other: Wheel lock key, spare tire inflator kit, any tool kit — confirm what’s actually in the trunk. On oil leaks and PPI items: I appreciate you asking directly — the M279 has some known service items and it’s fair to want a straight answer. Under my ownership I proactively addressed if there is anything. The engine bay has been dry since the last owner, no signs of leaks, even near the head, front valve covers, LT turbo lines, and I don’t observe measurable oil consumption between changes. The engine oil level stays the same. People say W222s burn oil but not in the M279 engine. Both dealer and my indy German mechanic did the inspection while I took the pictures of the undercarriage. I also have a Ferrari and Porsche parked in the garage and I no leaks for any of my vehicles. The garage epoxy floor is dry. The June 2026 ABC suspension service (documented on the Carfax) addressed the Airmatic system with fluid flush, new filter, replacement pulsation dampers, and factory calibration — the other common M279-era wear item. Transmission, differential, brake, coolant, and recently ABC --all services done and suspectable seals replaced where needed. Happy to coordinate a PPI with any qualified shop in the Albany area at your expense. If you have a specific shop in mind, I’ll work with them directly on access and scheduling. Hope this helps!$20,000 bid placed by @Lang12
Hello. Beautiful car. Do you happen to have all of the keys and a complete set of the original books and manuals, please? Knowing how complicated these cars are, those manuals are essential. Plus, those keys are ridiculously expensive to have to buy new ones. So if those all come with the car, it would be a huge perk. Thank you. Oh, one last thing. I looked at another one of these locally with similar mileage, and it had quite a bit of oil leaking from various areas in the engine. During your inspections, or since then, have you noticed any other oil leaks, or are there any other notable items that would come up on a PPI that would need attention?$18,250 bid placed by @Meeyatch1

@BASAMG I couldn't and didn't spot any signs - both cosmetically and functionally. Even at 100mph+ it was steady. The grille is factory (thus the bubbling), headlights are factory, so I am assuming it's the bumper they replaced. Trust, me I got it checked multiple times before and after the purchase. Carfax and dealers confirmed no structural damage and no airbag deployment. Under my ownership: zero incidents. The 3M matte pearl wrap is intact. I can take any close-up pictures under the sun this weekend if you would like to see anything in particular :) Thank you for your interest!Any paint work or signs of any accidents that you can tell? Thanks$15,000 bid placed by @BlueNight
Happy Friday! I want to take some time to share the full ownership background — not everything made it into the listing description. Owner 1: Purchased new in Long Island, NY by a gentleman from the Hamptons who moved the car to Florida immediately upon delivery. Confirmed by Silver Star Motors. Who registered the car to his LLC— that's the "Corporate" ownership that shows on the Carfax. They kept it until 2018 and put ~26k miles on it. Owner 2: A plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills in 2018 at ~27k miles. They struck a deer on a road trip in 2019 at around 48k miles, repaired at MB of Encino and post-repair inspected at MB of Beverly Hills, his home dealership. No frame damage, no airbag deployment. Owner 2 also had the car wrapped and RENNtech-tuned during his ownership. The RENNtech work was performed at RENNtech's California installation partner, Motorik Concierge in Studio City — both RENNtech HQ (Stuart, FL) and Motorik have confirmed the work and can verify the VIN on request. Owner 2's identity is being kept confidential given his profession, but the shop involve confirmed. Total mileage was ~50k miles in 2021. Owner 3: Dealer owned by House of Imports acquired the car from Owner 2 as part of a new-car trade in 2021, at ~54k miles, reconditioned it, and sold it with dealer warranty to Owner 4 in 2022. House of Imports has confirmed this. Owner 4: An LA-based enthusiast (and mechanic by trade) purchased the car from House of Imports in 2022 at around 64k miles. Paperwork from this transaction is included in the sale. He maintained the car largely himself and took it to car shows during his ownership. He sold the car due to his divorce settlement liquidation. I got PPI by a MB technician before buying. The car had ~81k miles in 2023 Owner 5: Me. In Albany, NY purchased in 2023 with ~81k miles on it. I've had complete records since day one. No incidents during my ownership, roughly 1,800 miles added in that time. Approximately 90% of the service work under my ownership has been performed at Mercedes-Benz of Latham (Keeler) — full paperwork on hand. No incidents to the car. Always gone through preventive maintenance. Got the 80k full service right after I bought it at the MB dealer, though the previous owner said that he performed that himself. Happy to answer any specific questions about any owner in the chain, or provide additional documentation on request. Thanks for stopping by!@jayuk Thank you — and what a beautiful car to own. The CL65 with the M275 is one of the greats, and finding one in that condition with 57k miles in RHD is genuinely rare. You're right that these V12s are something special — the M279 in mine is essentially the evolved sibling, and every time it lights up I'm reminded there's nothing in a modern Mercedes showroom that feels remotely like it. I wonder how many S65s are there in UK. I hope an enthusiast will want mine. The main reason I chose to post on mbmarket rather than BaT or anywhere else. I love my car, my wife is complaining it is too loud hahaGreat looking car. I have a CL65AMG 2004, 57,000miles, excellent condition, one of the few (2-4 in UK). Probably the best car (engine) Merc ever built. Sadly, we only do RHD here otherwise I'd consider. Wish you success and goes to an enthusiast.@PGT_FTW Thanks. The three-spoke refresh wheel retrofit is definitely doable and comes up on W222 forums fairly often. Realistically it's a post-refresh AMG wheel with matching airbag and clockspring/slip ring assembly, plus SCN coding at an MB independent or dealer to bring the newer controls online. The estimate I got was $2.5k–$3.5k all-in depending on parts sourcing and shop rates. Also thought to add Apple Carplay for another 1k but didn't feel comfortable to mess with the flawless interior, like getting scratches, re-fitting inperfections. One thing worth flagging for whoever takes it on: the car has RENNtech ECU, TCU, and HSM modules already in place, so the shop doing the coding just needs to be aware other modules are already remapped. Happy to dig up specific forum threads if it would help. And appreciate the eye for detail on the car.Love these. I wonder how hard it would be to update to the three spoke steering wheel from the refresh$10,250 bid placed by @omarshareef
@MercedesDad hahaha trust me I got my first two speeding tickets in this car. I had to change the plate to Slow V12 hahaha. The presence of the car is just intimating on the road, even when cruising low speeds. Thank you for the compliment.Oh I have a question!: How did you manage to stay out of jail on this one? :) Sweet ride.$10,000 bid placed by @Huskyman78232
Thanks for taking the time to look at the car! Happy to answer any questions in the comments, provide additional photos or video, and coordinate a PPI with any qualified specialist. The RENNtech invoice with ECU serial number and full service records will go to the winning bidder. Ask me anything that I can answer from my ownership :)
