INDUSTRY NEWS
So, 'The Market' by Bonhams has undergone a brand makeover and is now known as.. 'Bonhams|Cars Online'.
And yes, I'm right there with you, pondering whether that's truly the best name they could drum up 😁
I'm hard-pressed to believe that amidst a brainstorming session, teeming with a myriad of potential new names, this one emerged victorious.
While I do extend my best wishes to them, I'm inclined to believe that this new moniker won't exactly set the world on fire.
When the boss found out 🤣
MERCEDES-BENZ AMG SL63
Today, I've decided to venture into the world of the Mercedes-Benz AMG SL63, an awe-inspiring representation of German 🇩🇪 engineering at its finest.
This vehicular marvel is a true testament to the blend of performance, technology, and luxury, consistently making a splash in online auctions throughout the bustling month of May. 🚗
The AMG SL63's potent 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine offers incredible power, seamlessly combining with a sophisticated seven-speed automatic transmission to provide an exhilarating driving experience. The vehicle's interior exudes opulence, with high-end materials and advanced tech features enhancing passenger comfort and convenience.
Yet my intrigue with the SL63 is not purely ignited by my respect for its robust powertrain or the luxury it offers. It goes beyond this, sparked by the vehicle's unique market position. It sits comfortably between an out-and-out sports car and a grand tourer, offering the thrilling driving dynamics of the former with the comfort and practicality of the latter. This niche market placement of the SL63 indeed makes it an interesting subject of study.
Below is April sales to give you an idea what was sold in the previous month.
Below are the sales in May. The average selling price in May was $73,945 vs April of $57,101.
Is this a significant trend with prices on the rise? I’ll be keeping a close eye on this for you and will be reporting back next month.
🚗 A top-tier model, the 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL63, complete with its state-of-the-art technology, performance, and luxury enhancements, secured the highest bid. It was purchased for a whopping US$146,500.00 on Cars and Bids, underlining its high demand and cutting-edge specifications.
💫 The 2017 Mercedes-AMG SL63, a model that encapsulates an excellent balance of sportiness and comfort with advanced tech and luxury features, held its own in the market. It fetched a substantial US$94,000.00 on Bring a Trailer, demonstrating its ongoing relevance and desirability.
🔥 Three units of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG with the P30 Performance Package were sold on Bring a Trailer. These models, sought-after for their enhanced power and speed capabilities over the standard SL63 AMG, ranged in price from US$63,500.00 to US$78,000.00, highlighting their sustained value despite being a decade old.
⏳ A testament to its lasting allure, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG continues to impress with its blend of power and luxury. It was picked up for a respectable US$37,000.00 on Collecting Cars, demonstrating the enduring demand for this series, even for models that are a decade old.
🔙 Rounding up the lineup, the oldest model, a 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG, was sold for US$28,120.00 on Bring a Trailer. Despite being well into its teenage years, it still commands a fair price, proving the long-lasting appeal of the SL63 AMG series.
🚀 These sales offer a vivid snapshot of the enduring demand and appeal of the Mercedes-Benz AMG SL63, a true powerhouse of German engineering, across its various years and editions.
EVERY LAND ROVER DEFENDER UP FOR AUCTION
The Land Rover Defender, born post-World War II, is a testament to British resilience. Its distinctive design, rugged reliability, and unparalleled off-road capabilities have made it an icon since its inception in 1948. Initially a simple, utilitarian vehicle beloved by farmers, explorers, and the military, it evolved over the years into a more refined and comfortable SUV, while preserving its original spirit and charm.
Personally, my love for the Defender stems from its authenticity. Amidst a sea of over-stylized and tech-heavy vehicles, the Defender stands out as rugged, raw, and real. It doesn't just transport you; it takes you on an adventure, and that's why it has my heart. Now, to share my passion, I've listed every Defender currently available at auction. If you appreciate the Defender as I do, you might just find your next adventure companion here.
Underneath each picture you will see the name of the car. If you click on the name it will take you directly to the auction.
