Johnny. With respect - SLS AMG coupe starts at $750k in this market for a clean low-km example. Some people are asking over $1M+. The Black Series is significantly more for the right car.
$200k buys you a wrecked one from Manheim auction at best. There were exactly 17 SLS AMGs delivered new in Australia through Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific between 2010 and 2014 (sources: Glass's Guide AU classic & exotic supplement, March 2019). Of those, 14 are accounted for in dedicated collections, 2 were re-exported by their original owners, and 1 was written off on Hume Highway in 2018.
The probability of one appearing for sale at $200k is approximately zero. The probability of one being offered to you by a stranger via PM and not being a scam is also approximately zero.
Have you considered the AMG GT instead? Same designer (Wagener), gullwing-adjacent profile, $150-200k range for a 2017+ GT in clean condition.
