The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG hasn't really lost any value since it first went on sale. How could this possibly be? Why is it still worth $185,000? I tested one to find out.

    My girlfriends Dad owns one. He collects Mercades cars. He just got one and all it does is sit in his 9 car garage, collecting dust. It literally only had 2,300 miles on it when I drove it a few weeks ago. I eventually persuaded my girlfriends Dad to let me drive it. It was a crazy experience but the hood was so damn long, seemed longer in person lol. It was such a smooth car but I didn't take it over 90 because I didn't want to be in debt 190,000 dollars lol. I go over to the house every now and then just to sit in it, and bask in its glory. Amazing car. Same coloration as the one in this video. I giggled like a school girl driving it, and had like 12 videos of the car on my snapchat story lol

    I'd buy a new 2017 GT3 with zero miles for the same money, before I ever considered an SLS. I wouldn't even consider the SLS for half the money they're asking. The only thing special about this car is the doors and they're a pain in the ass based on what we see in the video. The cheap plastic interior, poorly designed trunk, and even the ugly unbalanced look of the body don't make it any better. This car will sell for at least $50K less than the asking price.

    Doug you were right about the SLR, but they are starting to shoot up in value. The SLR is my favorite Mercedes exotic, because it was so ahead of its time. Also, the SLR design is cooler and that engine from the SLR is a beast. Lastly, the number of SLR's built is quite limited even compared to the SLS, which will mean that they will ultimately shoot up in value as well.

    The main reason is that you're not hitting your head on the classic Mercedes grill. By older Mercedes models is the grill attached to the hood, so when you put the hood to the almost 90 degree service angle, you won't scratch your head at the grill while your working at the engine.

He's speechless and it's so genuine. But this is what I love about Doug's channel..... He's a real guy and hes really doing something he loves and it's very clear that hes not being paid to say anything. Probably my 2nd favorite review from him is when he s*it on the Mercedes G wagon a few months ago. It was like a 20 minute rant about how it was absolutely not worth the money... And how he would never want to be seen driving a pretentious car that was built so poorly. You could almost feel the disdain he had for the car

    This is a VERY LOW optioned SLS. In fact, other than the "free option" split spoke wheels, it has no options. The nicely optioned ones have carbon fiber trimmed interiors(in response to his cheap interior comment). For 2011, if you added all the options, it brings the sticker up by an additional $50k+. Ceramic brakes($13k), Bang & Olufsen stereo($6500), full carbon fiber interior($9k), carbon fiber engine compartment($6k), alubeam silver paint ($12k), etc. And later model years had even more option choices. Too bad he couldn't get a hold of a better optioned one versus this bare bones example.

Yes, they're almost identical in performance, but the SLS is a 6 year old car of the entry level supercar league, while the GTS is a new car of the higher end sports car league. The GTS may have replaced the SLS, but it's not a true successor. It all comes down to what someone is looking for in a car.

    In South Florida there was an elder lady around 2016 who was letting only me park and drive her 2014 silver SLS gull-wing. It’s a beast. You come in your pants when you turn it on. It kicks your heart into another different rhythm. It has very few competitors on the road.

    I always thought this car is considered exotic. For me, it's cheaper version of SLR, but it's still a car that is Mercedes Benz: comfort-wise, performance-wise and as good looking and elegant as every car (of this brand) should be.

    This is the 2nd time I watch this video... I have a Vantage S and I watched some of your videos before purchasing it, but honestly if I had the money, I would exchange it for a SLS all day long. I think this is one of the most beautiful cars out there. Remember the comercial when it came out?... doing a spiral on the tunel walls?...amazing.

    This car really is a beauty ! It feels like a modern take on the beautiful 300 SL ! I'm not really into mercedes, but the 300 SL and this one are jewels for their shape.
