AMG GTS FUTURE VALUES

FWIW I have a 2017 GTS with 15700 miles in Solarbeam with Pano roof. Full MB service history and the Service B just carried out. Extended MB warranty. Been offered £67130 from WBAC and £67k as a trade in. So retail I guess will be around the £71k?

The Solarbeam is a marmite colour but they are few and far between.

Saw your ad earlier and loved it, sadly the wife not so keen on colour ... I’m sure it’ll find a new owner soon ;-)

yeah, sadly prices are still very high also for a AMG GTR, they are even higher now then 6-12 months ago...

I was hoping for another 20-30k pricedrop, but no...they went up a bit grrrr... they must be good I guess.

so, I guess I have to change my planes for this year at least (ofcourse first selling my Z3 s65) and maybe go for a AM Vantage V12 manual, those are still stabel for now (same prices as 6-12 months ago) and I guess they will creep up in a year or 2, because rare and special, big V12 with manual in small coupe.

otherwise a Wiesmann MF4 GT or the better drivers car Wiesmann MF3 would also be fine, but those prices are still mad... silly prices still.

back in 2013-2014 you could make very good car deals, then after that a lot went up again.

also the AMG GTS edition 1 (the real ones with also edition 1 in the steering wheel graved) also went up a bit...

Yes I can see prices are still close to what they were 12 months ago and that is part of the appeal.. hopefully they will still at this level. The Edition 1 looks great... would be very happy if I could find a low mileage one.

Hi Guys, probably the wrong place to post but i'm after a 2018 GTR so if anyone is selling or knows someone who is selling a high spec car I'd be interested.

If anyone can recommend another forum to post in as well that would be great. cheers

There's a couple. Amg gt owners & amg owners group.
Both predominantly US biased but still a lot of UK owners and a lot of good people on both.

indeed a lot are mostly US based, but not all, I'm member of a few of those AMG GT(S/R), well not really aktiv, its my FB car profile which I use rarely since the world gone upsidedown, but you can find or get info there if you want.
I don't own a AMG GT(R) yet, wanted one this year when prices would go down another 20-30k euro, but instead prices went up this year for the AMG GTS edition 1 (the real ones with edition 1 in steering wheel) and also for the R version, the one I really want.
I did not expect that prices would go up in 2021 way to early, but I guess they are that good... I thought the next 2-3 years the R would still go down in price, so i guess when I sold my Z3 s65, I first buy something else to wait for the R versions go a bit 'cheaper... The R would be a car to keep I hope/think.

but, many others also fun for the time waiting, could be a old TVR Vixen/Tuscan V8, or a Wiesmann MF3 or MF4 GT, but also those went up again grrr and they were already pricy.
but...it could also be a SLK R171 kleemann or a R171 FL with tuning or Brabus SLK or maybe a R172 with tuning, the nice thing of those, also pretty rare, also not that heavy and short, I like short V8 cars.

Here's mine, I can't fault it other than it can be tricky to park due to the rear visibility.

nice one, rare color I guess, is that a GTC ?

[mutske]

hi all, was looking at a GT C and was wondering what the boot space was for a long Europe touring holiday and tank range, driving a 911 4s at the moment any feed back is appreciated.

[Zippee]

Are you looking at the coupe of convertible?

If the former then easily enough space for a full size suitcase plus extras. The parcel shelf area behind the seats creates a lot of extra storage.

If convertible then it’s still a decent sized and very useable boot. Squashy bags are best but it will take a case. Better than a 911 or R8 by a fair way.

Fuel wise the GTC will get about 23 on a steady cruise and a lot less depending how you press on. I see anything from 200 to 320 to a tank.

cheers for the info, the tank rang could be a small issue, I do travel regularly 600 miles plus a day. (911 - 38mpg - 450ml plus a tank, ) some more investigation / test drive will be needed.

Yeah, but a 911 is missing some cylinders.
It’s a fair exchange I think

[T5GRF]

I’m becoming increasingly drawn to one of these instead of a 911 Turbo.
I’d be looking for a Cab, are there any must have or very desirable options to look out for? Is it worth buying from Merc to get the 2 year AMG warranty or are they pretty bullet proof?

I think they are very nice, but id struggle to pay 50-100% more than a v8 Ftype

Totally, entirely, different cars.

In what way, they are each others closest competitor, if you ignore the best car by far in the sector (911).

If anyone is looking to sell roadster please stop me a pm.

It’s literally a modern TVR. Do it! Convertible is odd because they only do the base GT, the range misses the S out, then it steps up to the GTC. I’d go C - those wider arches

[T5GRF]

Funnily enough it’s exactly what’s drawn me to one. A modern day TVR what’s not to like!
It’s the C I’m after, just trying to fathom out the options that were available and what seems desirable to have fitted, colours and fancy paints are obviously personal choice.
