What happens after you drive a Mercedes SL65?
After you drive the SL65, every car will feel underpowered. And making other cars feel anemic is exactly the goal of a global horsepower race. So with the SL65, Mercedes has removed a glove and slapped the face of the entire industry and issued a very big challenge.
What’s the difference between a SL500 and SL65?
There are a few things that make the SL65 worth the extra $90,800 over an SL500, one of which is the twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12, a 467cc-larger version of the engine in the SL600. Another is the defeated look on the faces of SL500 owners when they read the SL65 badge. Their day is shot.
Why are there so many depreciated cars on the market?
Let’s just say there’s a good reason why they depreciated so much. Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire has plenty of experience dealing with high-mileage luxury cars in exotic car rentals. He described what it’s like to use a Maserati Quattroporte with 70,000 miles on the odo.

Which is the most depreciated car in the world?
AMG Mercedes-Benzes are the undoubted kings of depreciation, with ruinously expensive (and frequent) trips to the mechanic, and a disposable quality that makes last year’s model worthless to any self-respecting plutocrat. We found one of these pretty S-Class coupes that had lost 86% of its value, dropping from $114,600 to $15,500. Damn.
