Mercedes SL65 AMG - V12 Twin Turbo The SL65 AMG is an incredible car and one of the most special AMGs Mercedes ever produced. The twin-turbo V12 engine is phenomenal and the car drives exactly as you would expect when running properly. However, I want to be completely transparent with potential buyers. The car has been standing for a period of time and currently requires mechanical work, which is reflected in the price. I have attached the workshop diagnostic reports and inspection notes in the advert. Key Issues Identified ABC Suspension System ABC warning light present Pressure low in ABC system ABC fluid tank was empty when checked Rear ABC strut leaking Rear ABC pipes corroded Slight leakage from front ABC pipe (engine removal required to replace) Brakes & Suspension Parking brake ratchet not holding Front discs heavily corroded Rear discs heavily corroded Rear brake hoses splitting OSF inner steering track rod requires replacement Camber ball joint excessively worn Castor bushes split Rear hub bush excessive wear Drivetrain Rear prop to diff coupling splitting Driveshaft reluctor rings damaged (SL65 specific driveshafts) Electrical ABS light on Possible battery control module issue Main battery requires replacement Starter battery requires replacement General Mechanical / Wear Items Tyre splitting near cords - new set advised Boot struts weak (boot lid drops) Boot release handle sticking Window regulator noisy Door window switch broken Wipers require replacing Corrosion Engine oil sump corroded in one area Gearbox sump pan corroded Some corrosion present on underside components Other Notes Car has been standing for some time Requires 4 wheel alignment once suspension repairs completed ABC system needs repair before road use Summary This is a fantastic car when sorted, but it will require investment to bring it back to its best. Ideal for someone familiar with AMG cars, a specialist, or someone looking for a project. The SL65 is becoming increasingly collectible and represents one of the last hand-built AMG V12 roadsters.
