@Meeyatch1just dm me, in discussion
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.
@rhartsough1Fair 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.
@akshaypunwatkarGreat, 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.
@hasib32No 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!
Thanks 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.
@NewAgeI 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.
Why M279 S65? https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1D9v6SKMQ3/?mibextid=wwXIfr
@KfullerThey 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.
@RIAMGThere 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
@stephenrWire 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.
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
@Meeyatch1Thanks 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!
Nice car! I had W140s before and miss them. Does the power locks all work? Any idea when the vacuum pump (under the rear seat) was replaced. There is separate pump for soft close in the trunk. I think it timed out a some point, reset the fuse in the trunk to see if the pump works back up again.
@BASAMGI 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!
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!
@jayukThank 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 haha
@PGT_FTWThanks. 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.
@MercedesDadhahaha 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.
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 :)
