Good morning Mercedes-AMG enthusiasts!

Just sharing answers to a few common questions I’ve received from bidders:

1. Shipping? Yes, I can help arrange both open and enclosed transport (enclosed is recommended, as this ML63 has been fully detailed). Delivery is available nationwide and internationally, at the buyer’s expense. If you're outside the U.S., please check your country’s import regulations before bidding.

2. Keys? Yes, both original keys are included and fully functional.

3. Inspections? Absolutely! In-person inspections are welcome and encouraged between now and Friday. We’ll be away for Mother’s Day weekend and this auction ends on Monday, so please schedule early if you’d like to see the car in person.

4. Remote showings? I’m happy to do a full walkaround via FaceTime and go over any questions in detail.

Just click the “Message Seller” button to request a shipping quote or schedule a showing.

Special thanks to everyone who has placed a bid so far—I truly appreciate the interest!

@RobertlnmThanks for your interest!

If you scroll down to my "Greetings" post, I provided detailed information about the ML63’s prior ownership history. The original window sticker is not available.

Service Summary – Past 5 Years (Approx. 13,000 Miles) - Receipts for this work and Mercedes VMI included with the sale. 

Below is a highlight of the most significant services performed over the past five years—during which this ML63 AMG has added just 13.0K miles to its odometer. Not every oil change and washer fluid top-off is listed here, but these are the more significant items that show how well Yeti has been cared for:

- April 2025 (40 miles ago): Fresh motor oil and filter, brake fluid flush, and new differential fluid.
- November 2024 (1.8K miles ago): Both rear shocks replaced.
- November 2024 (2.0K miles ago): Oil and filter service, tire rotation, and a new OEM serpentine belt.
- September 2024 (4.4K miles ago): New OEM auxiliary battery. 
- April 2024 (6.5K miles ago): New OEM brake rotors, pads, and sensors all around. Fresh set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires. 
- November 2023 (6.7K miles ago): New OEM cabin and air intake filters, fresh wipers front and rear. 
- October 2023 (7,3K miles ago): Full transmission service, new OEM 12V battery, all-new spark plugs, differential fluid, new OEM brake booster (recall work complete), brake fluid flush, and oil/filter change.
- September 2021 (12.4K miles ago): OEM CD changer mechanism replaced. 
- October 2020 (13.0K miles ago): Full 40K-mile Mercedes service. 

This ML63 AMG has been treated more like a collector’s piece than a commuter, with service done before issues could even think about showing up. 

Thanks again for considering this exceptional and well-loved AMG.

46k-Mile 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG

MercedesDad said:

Greetings, Mercedes-AMG enthusiasts!

It’s with great joy—and a touch of heartache—that I present this low-mile Diamond White Designo 2011 ML63 AMG for sale. Around here, we call it… Yeti.

The Personal Connection:
This isn’t just any ML63. This car has been part of my AMG-obsessed inner circle since 2019. My buddy Mike bought it from an older couple in Indiana, and being the responsible gearhead he is, he gave it a loving home (and also a name—because yes, we name our cars).

In our group—formed over nearly 20 years of MBCA membership—cars don’t just get oil changes, they get identities. We’ve got names like EuroBeast, Taxi, Elmo, and Bi-TURDo (...don't ask). So when this rowdy, loud, muscle-bound white beast joined the family, it was christened: Yeti.

Yeti has been spoiled since day one. The Carfax, VMI from Mercedes-Benz and stash of receipts read like a love letter to preventative maintenance. No corners cut. No “I’ll get to it next oil change” nonsense. Even as AMG cars typically slide into neglect by the time they hit third or fourth owners, Yeti was always treated right. 

A couple years later, Mike needed garage space for a Range Rover named Berkeley (yes, we name those too), and Yeti moved on to a German client of mine who winters nearby. Great guy. Great taste.... barely drove it.

Fast forward again: the German decides to move back to the motherland and sells the ML63 to Dennis—another MBCA friend and my neighbor—whose wife had just given birth to their baby daughter. With a newborn on board and a C63 AMG 507 Edition sold to buy a bigger house, Dennis needed something that scratched the M156 itch and fit a baby seat. Enter: Yeti, the world's angriest stroller.

For the next couple of years, Yeti made cocooned trips to daycare and grandpa’s house—loudly and proudly. Because nothing says “precious cargo” like 500+ horsepower and hand-built V8 thunder.

Then one day, I brought in another Diamond White AMG—this time, an S65 Biturbo V12 monster—and poor Dennis fell head-over-heels. Before I’d even finished taking photos, we swapped keys and off he went with 12 cylinders purring under the hood.

Now, I already own another M156-powered ML63 (Growler) that’s been with me for 12 years. So… I can’t justify keeping Yeti too. No matter how much I want to.

Why It’s Special:
This isn’t just a rare color combo. It’s not just about low mileage. This is a last-of-its-kind AMG—the only powerplant ever developed entirely in-house by AMG. The legendary 6.2L V8, naturally aspirated, raw, and race-derived. No turbos, no nonsense, just pure attitude.

I’d love for it to go to a fellow AMG nerd, but auctions are auctions—so my only ask is this: if you win it, and ever decide to part ways, please reach out. I’ve been chasing obscure AMGs for 20 years and I’m not likely to find another like Yeti again.

Coming Soon:
I’ll post a brief summary of Yeti's service history, but spoiler alert—it’s rigorous.

Thanks for checking out Yeti. Feel free to message me anytime with questions, stories, or baby stroller comparisons.

2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG

MercedesDad said:

I’ve always had a soft spot for anything with a "V12 Biturbo" badge on its side. Painfully expensive if you skip services — like “cry yourself to sleep” expensive — but when properly cared for, it’s pure magic: silky, brutal, and completely addictive. 

So addictive I've been daily driving one (in an S-Class) for 5 years straight.  

Still sitting atop the food chain, decades after their debut. 

It’s good to see that banks 7–12 were done about 7 years and 15,000 miles ago. That’s reassuring... but personally, I’d still budget to have both sides done. 

Also worth checking: the radiator fan assembly (they tend to give up with age, not miles) and the door soft-close mechanisms — because slamming a door on a 65 is like slamming the door of a palace... uncivilized.

Clean 65s are dangerously addictive. Drive one, and suddenly everything else feels like a rental car. If this one's priced right, I’d happily daily it for the next 20 years — and smile every time I start it, even if it bankrupts me.

MercedesDad said:

Hi there, a couple of questions, if you don't mind:

- How old, and approximately how many miles on the tires? I looked through the invoices but could not find info on that; my sincere apologies if I missed it. 
- How does the pano roof system work, including the shades? I have been burned before :) 
- Does soft close work on all doors and trunk?
- I did not see the fridge in the factory codes, unless I missed it again. If so, was this added after the fact? Does it work okay?
- Finally, I saw a "Transmission concern" in 9.29.22. Any information on that? 

Thank you!

I concur with @MikeOscarZebra; the prevalence of "AMG'd" or "overland" modifications on many early G's has made it increasingly uncommon to come across pristine, unaltered specimens such as this one.

MercedesDad said:

Thank you @NYCdriver 

According to MBUSA's October 2015 press release for the 2016 SL63, the optional AMG high-performance Carbon Ceramic braking system, offered "immense stopping power, featuring 15.8” discs up front with six-piston fixed calipers and 14.2” discs at rear with four-piston fixed calipers.". This while "reducing unsprung weight by 40% percent versus a conventional steel setup."

2016 Mercedes-AMG SL63 w/14k Miles

MercedesDad said:

Greetings to all Mercedes-AMG enthusiasts!

I'm thrilled to introduce this 14K-mile SL63 AMG for your consideration. This exceptional vehicle hails from the collection of a dedicated AMG enthusiast, sharing garage space with other fine Affalterbach machinery like the S63 AMG Coupe, SLS AMG, and more. Meticulous ownership, coupled with regular maintenance, has allowed this example to maintain its low mileage while presenting as if brand new.

Every aspect of the vehicle exudes a "new" aura, with original finishes intact on all surfaces. The 10-spoke wheels, displaying their original finish, remain free of scratches or pitting. The ceramic treatment inside the wheel barrels has prevented any accumulation of dust or road grime, leaving them looking pristine. The interior even retains that distinctive "new Mercedes" scent. Needless to say, all functions, from the panoramic hard top to the air conditioning and seat features, operate flawlessly.

To ensure a seamless transition to a new owner, this car has undergone a fresh oil/filter service, received a new OEM battery, and even new batteries on both key fobs. 

As indicated in the listing, I am a dealership owner in the state of Florida, and for out-of-state buyers, I will provide all necessary paperwork for easy registration. Florida residents can expect sales tax and state's title/tag/registration fees, as required by law, to be collected, with the added convenience of having the title, tax, and registration processed on their behalf. 

Notably, there are no dealership or doc fees charged to anyone at any time.

For added convenience, a temporary tag, valid for 30 days across the USA, will be included at no cost, allowing you to enjoy your car immediately upon arrival. If transport assistance is needed (buyer's cost), I am happy to facilitate enclosed transport directly to your doorstep through some of the industry's top transport companies.

I welcome and encourage pre-purchase inspections and test drives. Feel free to message me directly to schedule a private showing. Thank you, and have a fantastic weekend.

- Have the roof hydraulics been refreshed recently or are they still original?
- Finally, what are the date codes on the tires?

Thank you.

12k-Mile 2014 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG

MercedesDad said:

Hello Mercedes Gelandewagen enthusiasts, 

Welcome to my 12K-mile, 2014 G63 AMG auction. This is a super-clean example with cosmetics that reflect its exceptionally low mileage and coddled life in the southern United States; it even retains its “new Mercedes” smell. 

No rust anywhere on this vehicle and, aside from ceramic tint on the front windows (removable, should its new owner prefer), it remains in 100% original condition.  

Beyond cosmetics, its Vehicle Master Inquiry (VMI; included with the vehicle) speaks for a G63 that has been effectively maintained by Mercedes-Benz its entire life.  

Everything works as intended. From a powerful air conditioning and massaged chairs to its three fully locking differentials. 

Speaking of maintenance, this G63 AMG was sent to Mercedes-Benz of Bonita Springs (FL) in preparation for sale, where it received the following:
- Multi-point inspection and road tests. 
- New synthetic oil and fleece filter.
- Sunroof service and lubrication. 
- New OEM wiper blades.
- New OEM cabin filter.
- New OEM brake pads.
- Brake fluid flush.
- Performed Recall No. 2017060004. I didn’t think it needed it but the dealership volunteered to install a brand-new steering gear universal joint, so “why not!”

With regards to tires, it bugs me that every time I buy a super-low mileage G63, it usually comes with factory Yokohama Advan tires. It is not only unsafe older rubber but its performance is underwhelming (in my humble opinion) under a fast tank like the G63.  

- Accordingly, this G63 received a new set of Pirelli Scorpio tires all around. Balanced and aligned.

Receipts for all this work included with the vehicle. 

- And finally, ceramic coating was applied to the entire vehicle to protect its factory finish and make it easier to keep clean.

Included with the sale:
- Interior car cover.
- Complete set of owners' manuals.
- Factory tool kit.
- Two factory key fobs.
- Service history since new.

Please contact me here or privately with any questions regarding this vehicle. 

I will assist with shipping by enclosed trailer all over the country and even overseas. Please send me a private message for quotes. 

Thank you and have a great evening!

New RENNtech M156 Airbox

MercedesDad said:

Beautiful and fully functional, like everything Renntech. 

A few thoughts come to mind:

- These have been discontinued for 2-3 years; largely due to Covid shutdowns that put suppliers out of business. 

- Renntech made a one-off *GEN II* box in late 2022. They may (or may not) offer it to the general public later on. 

- This box may not fit a CLK63 Black Series. Buyers considering that application may want to check vertical clearances as factory strut bar runs right on top of the box. Ask me how I know.  

- Renntech tune, highly recommended to get the most out of this air box.

@BenzBuffFULL TRANSARENCY :

The hiccup at the end of this auction is 200% on me and I apologize for any inconvenience because of this. 

In the heat of the moment, I lifted the reserve (or so I thought), then wrote two comments to that effect.

With only 4 seconds left, however, I realized that my attempt to lift the reserve from MBMarket site had not gone through (bad internet or operator's error on me; not MBMarket) and run out of time while trying to fix the issue.  

While I wasn't thrilled to sell this machine for so little, I had given my word that it would sell to the high bidder and it was my obligation to honor it, whether it showed on MBMarket site or not. 

I immediately called MBMarket and within seconds they were on the phone with the high bidder, confirming that he had won the car. But then I learned that he asked for additional concessions from MBMarket or me to buy it. His point (a valid one), that he was not obligated to accept the terms of the auction since MBMarket site did not show the car as "Sold".  

Faced with the options of offering more discounts on a hard-to-replace vehicle, or not making a sale, I decided to KEEP my car. 

You may see this RENNtech S65 at the Hilton Head Concours d'Elegance later this year perhaps, or The Amelia in early 2024.

Cheers!

MercedesDad.

Good morning Mercedes-AMG aficionados.

Last auction day and I wanted to thank everyone for welcoming my Renntech S65 AMG; from those who have already bid, to those who asked questions or simply shared their admiration for the mythic V12 Bi-Turbo AMG. Possibly some of the greatest automobiles ever made; and likely never to be made again.     

I must also thank all those who called and emailed within the past 48 hours; conversing cars with you is almost as fun as driving them.      

I will be checking in regularly in case anyone has a last-minute question.  

Thank you again and good luck bidding. You will NOT be disappointed.

@FlexmanThank you!

If I recall, Mercedes-Benz timing chains are not a scheduled maintenance item (I am not a mechanic, so please confirm with your Mercedes-certified tech).

I can tell you that my current M275-powered daily driver has 70K miles, and the one before it 175K (as in one-hundred, seventy-five thousand miles) on the clock. 

Neither has needed timing chains/guides. Both run like intercontinental ballistic missiles :)

This looks like old aftermarket tint; which turns purple with age. Super easy to remove by leaving the car in the sun for a few hours, or with the help of a hand-steamer. Easy to determine for certain by lowering one of the windows and looking at the tint film on the upper edge of the glass.

Well played. Well played.

MercedesDad said:

While I would think twice about driving around with those wheels, I appreciate this as it represents car culture from a different era. 

Thinking of the crazy Koenig Specials from the 1980's. Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari .... there was something for everyone. Even AMG offered cosmetic 80's mods that raised eyebrows at some point.

If cared for, this low-mile CL600 could be very valuable one day.

@WANNAALLCARS  Thank you! The Renntech work is fresh (last year), and yes, this car was dyno-ed and road-tested by them before I took delivery.  

All the documentation is included with the sale.

@howS I miss Bruce; I actually owned one of his cars (passed down from another V12 enthusiast). 

He singlehandedly helped raise awareness about this endangered species. His posts? Legendary.

RENNtech 2006 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG

MercedesDad said:

Hello Mercedes-AMG enthusiasts,

Thank you for your interest on my Renntech S65 AMG. I am a life-long enthusiast with an admiration for everything Mercedes/AMG since the age of 8, when my father took me to a local dealership to see the recently released Mercedes 190E.

That was 38 years ago; plenty of time to turn a child's veneration of the 3-Pointed Star into an all-out obsession. So rather than fighting it, I doubled down by opening a specialty-car dealership seven years ago. With my father still by my side, our small business is laser-focused in helping others, like us, find the car of their dreams. 

THIS, is one of those cars.

I have bought and sold about half-dozen Bi-turbo Mercedes V12s in the course of business (all low-mileage examples) and I cannot think of another car I would like to drive until I cannot do it anymore. I actually daily-drive one at a rate of 26K miles per year and it has been super reliable. 

Arguably, however, this is the cleanest of them all. 

Beyond the clean CarFax, very low miles and service records going back to 2009, it is the touch and smell of supple leather surfaces, the silkiness of the Alcantara trim and glass-like feel of the factory 040-Black that sets this one apart from similar offerings. 

And then you drive it. Everything feels new; no rattles, squeaks, odors, rust or leaks ... only the smell of a *new* Mercedes and its soothing effect enhanced by the reassuring tune of twin-spooled 12 cylinders to remind you that life is good. Like a gentle giant cradling you and your loved ones, serene, yet capable of unleashing overwhelming fire power on command.  

That is because this S65 has been loved its entire life with records showing regular services, in addition to work performed after I acquired it.

This S65 AMG was in fantastic shape when I received it, but I wanted to go over everything that one should look for when acquiring one of these vehicles. A little overkill perhaps, since everything seemed to work properly; from ABC suspension and coil packs to the doors soft-touch close mechanism.    

Accordingly, the following was performed by Mercedes-Benz specialists:

- Full inspection and road tests,
- Oil, filter service,
- OEM battery,
- Brake fluid flush,  
- OEM coil packs, left and right,
- OEM sparkplugs,
- ABC suspension service,
- OEM cooling fan assembly and module,
- OEM Alternator,
- OEM pneumatic pump assembly (soft touch door mechanism)
- New Michelin Pilot Sport tires all around.

Some of this work had been done shortly before I acquired the vehicle, but we did it again anyways in preparation for what would follow.

Next, the S65 was shipped to Renntech's headquarters in Stuart, Florida. I followed the transport truck to deliver my car in person and I run into Mr. Hartmut Feyhl (Founder, President of Renntech) outside his office. I asked him something along the lines of "what would you do if this S65 were yours?"
  
Mr. Feyhl, a gracious man and a gentleman, commented that the W220 S65 is plenty powerful already. And nobody really needs all that power and torque under normal circumstances.

But if he had his way (and I paraphrase here), he would like subtle updates to address minor compromises that AMG had to incur in order to sell these cars through the Mercedes-Benz dealership network. All of this without compromising drivability and long-term reliability expected from a Mercedes-Benz.   

Accordingly, Renntech performed the following updates:
- Another thorough inspection. 
- RENNtech ECU tune.
- RENNtech intercooling pump upgrade.
- Performance air filters.
- RENNtech lowering module.

Everything tested on their dyno before road tests performed by Mr. Feyhl himself.   

Last but not least, this car received a ceramic coat treatment before being offered for sale. 

Consequently, everything works as intended and I am confident that this Renntech S65 will reward its next owner with many years of faithful service. Whether displayed on the show field, on a special occasion, or enjoyed daily.

Thank you again for considering my car.

@AMGguy, No. I owned the only factory Mercedes C43 AMG pace car in existence; with only 2,400 original miles. I sold it to a collector a couple of years ago. He still owns it, which only a couple hundred more miles since then.

Euro 1983 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL AMG

MercedesDad said:

- Could you please confirm if exhaust is aftermarket (non-AMG, nor Mercedes. I read "Top Gear USA") with the only AMG parts being the tips?

- How does it drive at 100mph? Any rattles, vibrations, pulling on each direction?

- Any leaks present after parking the car for about a week?

- In your opinion, how much left on rotors and pads?

- Any documentation to support the mileage?

Thank you!
