Medians come from the same live listings and sold estimates behind the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG market page. A gold dot appears only where 3 or more US auction sales back it; the verdict needs 5 or more. Dealer sales are the last ask of listings that left dealer inventory, not transaction prices. Cheaper years often carry more miles, so read that column before calling one the bargain. This is market data, not investment advice. How we measure.
