The used car market has a funny way of turning yesterday’s unobtainable dream into today’s attainable reality — and few examples illustrate that better than the Mercedes-Benz W222 S65 AMG. Here is a car that originally demanded a quarter of a million dollars, packed a hand-built twin-turbocharged V12, and wrapped its occupants in a cabin that rivaled a five-star hotel suite. Today, early examples can be found for a fraction of that price, making the case for used-car value almost impossible to argue against. Mercedes-Benz has always done a stellar job with its fastest S-Class models, and the S65 AMG stands as perhaps the finest proof of that.
