Here's Why the Mercedes SLS AMG Is Worth $185,000 

Im sad that the SLR are not in FH4 :(

Me too

I can drive mine anytime in grand tourismo vr with my wheel rig...YIPPEE!

Me too ✋

Same bro!!:)

He also was 6’2 once

Ben once 6.5

Depends on humidity

He said he was 5 11 one video

Well he is actually 6'4 man if you look at another video discussing about his tall

I'd go as far as saying it's the single greatest Benz since the W126 and the original 1955 300SL Glowing, and my personal favorite Mercedes only to the SLR and the Gullwing.

It isn't Forgotten anymore LOL worth a bunch of $$$ now

best looking AND best sounding.

There's better looking Merc's out there!!!!!!!

Have a look at the AMG GT S for example.....!!!!!!

Ausgamer5171 Really? That's actually really smart.

Ausgamer5171 fuckin eh

and the sun! :P

Adam Ziebarth Actually? What are you trying to say? This is a multi billion dollar company and you seemed to be suprised they did something smart? I really question your thinking

There are tons of multi billion car companies and how many have perforated mirrors? Does a Mercedes E63 have one? How about a Toyota RAV4 which comes from the biggest car brand in the world?

And the NA V8

Hnnngggg the doors (Thumbs up if you get the reference)

Goreo Productions NFSU2 riders on the storm?

SOUND BOI

Zack Lewine great reference. RCR, correct, but I forgot which one

LFA?

@@81ancoo99 1.6 rally motors too

@@81ancoo99 Ford Shelby GT350 (R)

A lot of the noise is just straight up engine noise which makes me love it even more.

Lysergic Casserole yes it’s also faster than a new R8 and I8

No smaller displacement with a turbo engine or an electric motor will ever be able to compare to a NA V8 and it's lovely sound, especially a Mercedes 6.2. Dang I miss this engine.

6.3 bur i'm with you

Even if it's compared to the M157 twin turbo V8 5,5L AMG engine the 6,2 V8 is still far more glorious

Of course it does. N/A and much larger displacement

Giveaway Tube -- How the hell do you even possibly roll over a car like this? Unless you were purposefully doing jump stunts GTA V style...

JonBonesJones84 this car is in gta5

well it's not in gta 5 but the surano get's close enough

AXEL VISSERS no it is. Its called the Sterling GT. Its the old version of the AMG but their still the same

But in 5 years, should we reload the car cartridge like shotgun, or reapply black powder like blunderbuss ?

I love Mercedes dearly, but I doubt it will survive unlike pre 97' Mercedes

It's a modern take on a classic , the 300SL

Or a pain by emission regulations

@MattyBespoke you are so wrong it aint even funny lmao, slr, p1, senna, I could go on.

@MattyBespoke No the cars in the future will have an electric motor and a battery pack and not much else. Cars are becoming more and more like appliances.

I believe in you

The merc c63 from 2008 was pretty much the best sounding merc ever

Yup (except this shitty plastic in the console)

There are few cars I would rather have than this. Very few.

Randy R 6 Month later, still one of the most beautiful cars ever

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

AmnScottNN one lucky fucker

My penis is my windowsill

Actually, I have only begun to like its looks now. I've never liked it when it was new, but with all the spaceships coming out, this car grows more gorgeous every day.

Dayne Ellison too late. You needed to start at the age of 10. Try penny stocks, heard from a guy that it's very profitable

Here's why my lemonade stand is worth 3.5 million dollars

webz and lemonade stands, I've heard they're very profitable, even though I did it once and I made like 30 bucks a week

Dayne Ellison Heres why the Iphone 7s is $29.99

Dayne Ellison 😂😂😂😂

Joost de Bruin bmw have super cars ?!

Now we wait for audi to bring back the quattro

I just thought the very same thing

Ummm.... no, it's not.

+RedondoBeach2 umm yes it is

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.

RedondoBeach2 the GT3 isn't a head turner like the SLS.

There are people who will want the car but the only reason it might sell is because of the doors. There's nothing about the rest of the car that makes a car this old, designed as poorly as it is, worth that much.

TheZondaS true

TheZondaS Can see it appreciating in value in the future

Me too, I think is almost impossible for it not to increase in value. I mean, it's fundamentally a piece of Merc's history. Why wouldn't it get more expensive?? It's like saying that the Viper ACR will never increase it's value. Yeah, there's so many V10 powered RWD cars w/ manual gearboxes... lol

Nah.... *Doors*

TheZondaS Yup, I mean the SLS Black Series is already at $600k... 100% more than its original value. My dad has an SLS, and although it may not be very good on a track, he's not selling it any time soon.

The AMG GT is nice, but inferior to the SLS in every way possible other than pure performance.

@@kenlykkeslett7501 in an interview some boss at Mercedes precise the amg gt is not really a successor to the sls as its a spiritual gullwing to the classic one. The amg gt is touring normal door gt. But another sls mk2 could take some times as they say we have more than half a century to wait for this so some years of waiting and thinking for a new gullwing is ok.

@@davidgouyaie8027 I can understand that, but they are very similar to me. They have the same proportions, the same type of drivetrain, and they never overlapped production. Not to mention the SLS being used as a safety car in F1, and the moment the AMG GT arrived it replaced the SLS. I hope you are right though. A true SLS mk2 would be wonderful!

@Miles Doyle can u send me $10000 to repend my sin😔👋

@@kenlykkeslett7501 I think maybe Mercedes only replaced the sls because the amg gt was replacing it purpose wise but it wasn’t the next car in the bloodline. Even with the release of the 2022 SL someone from Mercedes said other cars they offer will be modified structure wise so the Mercedes sl has its own lane in their lineup

It's the watch time that matters.

What’s he at now in 2024?

Ultrakillerism 👌🏾

Ultrakillerism Soundwave > Drift

varulalin AMEN. Perfect order

No one is with u. Why do u prefer the sls? The engine? That's not enough imo. The Gts is faster and handles better and still sounds and looks great.

play clone hero it wasn’t

The Big Mac has been like $4.50 for 5+ years.

play clone hero things are overly inflated in America, it’s a shame.

what's a lowkey mean?

@@1990Thunderbolt lowkey means honestly

Antaraxia no it doesnt wtf

How the hell could this not be

The cheapest one in is 120k

That's not enough, you'd also need to get rid of any buttons and replace them with a touch screen to really reduce that weight.

Those holes has nothing to do with weight reduction lol; They're there so u can see traffic lights without bending yourself down..

Actually, it's just for safety so you can see through them. If you put your eyes up very close it's a surprisingly clear view.

They seem overly pretentious to me. Without the gull wing doors, this car would likely sell somewhere around $60K or less.

You mean pigeon wing doors? Ha ha ha..get it

Yes, FTV Bailee thinks so too. Shes my favorite

BigDH28 rru8

Mahone break the window I guess, kinda scary thought especially if it caught fire.

doors have exploding bolts, when the car rolls it senses it and the bolts explode, thus you can kick the doors out

Mahone Actually the door hinges explode off I remember hearing about!

Mahone it has explosives to blow up the hinges so the door comes off.

Mahone they have special explosive hinges that once the car determines it is upside down it detonates the hinge and you push the entire door off the car

tru

Or cuz it’s a Mercedes

@@aidanmatta154 Used Mercedes are usually dirt cheap

The roadster version is now forgotten and dumb🤣

And that lousy exaust

Ethan Bowman Yeah, I'm pretty sure the modern ones do too.. at least my moms 2014 S550 does

Ethan Bowman why do they open so high tho?

Mike_TheLegend it is nice when working on the car. The hood basically never needs to come off, even if the engine needs to be pulled. Several people on Mercedes forms have said that it was so they could install the engine in the factory with the hood already on, but that never made any sense to me.

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.

Ethan Bowman If they did that, why couldn't they just design the engine hood like the Dodge Viper Acr and have it open the other way?? I think it would be easier.😦

That’s why I feel more in love with this car

Ziaplex RS he owns Aston Martin

Kamaal Katariya Yes but he is getting a new Doug car

He doesn't have a Aston Martin.

no he doesn't. he sold it a long time ago

I thought it was strange when he said this. The SLR is legendary!

The One Yeah the SLRs are starting to go back up in value. About 2 years ago, a pre owned SLS and a pre owned SLR cost about the same

My dealership, DRIVING EMOTIONS has a few SLRs listed on Hemmings. Check them out at www.hemmings.com/classifieds/?0=0&adtypeFacet=Vehicles%20for%20Sale&makeFacet=Mercedes-Benz&modelFacet[]=SLR%20McLaren&sort=sort_time_desc&page_size=15&seller_typeFacet=Dealer if you are interested in buying, just hit us up through the website

theres one in my country for sale from 2005, and its listed at $330,000 usd

A brand new SLR at the time cost almost 500k

MURDERERO ... and I asked for it a week ago on "These Are All the Cars You Told Me to Buy" :)

Now *_this_* ..... is _unbelievable!_ =)

Liam Quiroga SLS by far, that 6.2 V8 sound tho

Liam Quiroga SLS and GTS aren't really comparable. The SLS was in the Ferrari 458 range. The GTS is a 911 rival, mean to be sold in more volume. Two different leagues of car. 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.

Liam Quiroga amg gt r > sls bs

Although the GT S is cheaper and similar performance, the SLS will hold its value and likely appreciate. And guaranteed it turns more heads than the GT S. You take the SLS if you have the money. Now the tougher question is SLS or GT R? I think the GT R will be a game changer.

*****​​​ nah, amg gt r has better looks, better interior, better performance, great sound yet isn't a gas guzzler like the sls, not to mention it's no where near as expensive as a sls bs. So it's better in almost every way despite NOT being designed as a replacement to the sls bs. That said you can't go wrong with either. ;)

That's what introduced me to the car and it's my dream car when rosie was driving

@@themango9644 whoa I made that 2 years ago 😄, but yeah thats why I want the car when I grow up too

@@megatronusorionpax4900 moodt

Jack Mayall SLS styling is timeless. I agree

The GT R is actually a lot faster. Is the fastest RWD car on the N'Ring and if I recall correctly is even on the top 5 fastest street cars ever on the ring.

fake noises?

AKS62 yeah it's like the jaguar f type. It's been programmed to sound like that

DroidTech I love the SLR aswell. Sounds like an AK47

I think the best review I've seen from him in the last few years was when he reviewed the Tesla plaid. You can see him sweating and his his shock and awe is actually palpable. 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

Aufa Majid differential*

Red it has a transaxle, so the diff is the trans as well

Seb Schimeck I know now, I found that out shortly after watching the video 2 months ago. It's pretty cool.

over 300000 $

I have looked at several 140 to 185k is best price, unless you botton Fisher.

Dont be comparing Nikon n Mercedes

I’d rather have a 300sl gullwing

hell no

I’m with you, this is probably the better car all things considered.

Could you even fit in it

TheR4CC VIP think that's way to expensive tiger

TheR4CC Yeah I think its way too expensive for Doug to either rent or borrow

Michael Y. Seem like you want to loan him yours, 👍🤣

Lol guys he reviewed an F40 why not an enzo or a lafer

They are rare as hell

fuck that unreliable piece of shit car

Have you ever even seen that car in person let alone drove it? Something like 25 were made and they were like 1.2 million each so it's very unlikely you know if they are reliable or not

it is unreliable because it is american. as simple as that. american cars suck

Then how come 10 of the 25 most reliable cars were American?? learn to read.plus german cars need constant maintence, french, itlaian, and british cars are extremely unreliable, and Japanese cars rarely last more than five years

According to who? An American magazine? Honest question.
