What moves the price on this model
Condition, history, originality, ownership, delivery and modification multipliers apply to every car in the library. They are applied automatically when an advertisement is analysed, and the schedule is set out once, on the analyser page.
Projected value in five years
The case for and against
The most extreme version of the last naturally aspirated AMG V8, with around 700 built and an estimated ten in Australia. Black Series cars have appreciated consistently for over a decade and the formula cannot be repeated.
One sale a year nationally. With ten cars in the country the exit is a private sale to a known collector, not a market. There is no Australian auction record and no transaction anywhere in this library's data, so the value has never been tested. Widened Black Series bodywork is effectively unobtainable if damaged.
Known faults and risks
Similar cars, and what they cost to run
And with an estimated ten cars in the country there may never be a meaningful one. Production is widely reported at around 700 worldwide, though Mercedes never published a hard figure, so treat that as reported rather than confirmed. The Australian launch price was around $339,000.

Only worse. One sale a year nationally and an estimated 150 days on market. Ten cars in the country means the buyer pool and the seller pool are both tiny, and a private sale to a known collector is a more likely exit than any public market.
The M156 6.2-litre is the last naturally aspirated AMG V8 developed in-house before turbocharging, and the Black Series cars are the most extreme versions AMG built. That combination has driven strong appreciation internationally over the past decade. The figure carried here reflects that, and it rests on research rather than on any transaction this library can point to.
Relative to its size. A car with ten local examples and no recorded sale is a price nobody has tested.
This entry carried $450,000, researched from international Black Series appreciation. An Australian dealer is asking $259,000 for a 2008 car with 32,280km. Nobody advertises below market, so an ask that far under the carried value settles it: the figure was wrong, and by a wide margin. Reduced to $235,000, below the ask because a dealer ask sits above what is achievable. The error came from applying an overseas appreciation curve to an Australian market that never bid it up the same way, which is the same mistake this library made on the NSX, the 350Z and the C63.
No Australian transaction stands behind this value. A spec-adjusted figure built on it would look precise and would not be, so the report is refused instead of sold with a caveat. That goes for this car and 87 others. Everything above is free and stays free.
One line of email when this desk publishes a call on a Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series, or records a new Australian sale of one. Nothing else, no schedule, and on a quiet model you may hear nothing for months, which is itself worth knowing about a car you are chasing.
