Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as an Investment: Real Auction Prices, Annualized Returns and Comparison With Major Asset Classes

How much does an SLS AMG return as an investment, and how does it compare with Bitcoin, stocks or gold? This page shows the actual sale prices of one model, the annualized returns calculated from those prices, and their performance compared with major asset classes. The figures are based on 204 recorded sales from public auction archives.

Regular production, no special editions. The series is the median of actual hammer prices for the coupe and roadster, including the later GT version. The Black Series and the Final Edition are markets of their own and are left out. Condition and mileage vary widely, which is why every individual sale is shown as a dot. Every dot in the chart represents a price actually paid at auction — not an estimate or asking price.

The carmaker's stock has its own page: Mercedes-Benz Group.

Data note 1

Price Index for This Asset Class

No index is computed for this class, deliberately. An entry here denotes a model, not an individual car. Two hammer prices for the same model are two different cars with their own mileage and history, so the variation the method is meant to remove is already inside the pair.
