2024 GT 55
I am in the Baltimore metro area and got a whopping 5% (sarcasm intended) off my 2024 55 about six weeks ago, although they had to get it from a dealership in Fredericksburg VA. Might have knocked more off if i took one from their lot (they had two - 1 patagonia red and 1 alpine grey)

Curious to know where you heard about $20K discounting on the 2024 AMG GT cars. Years ago MB offered a $20K discount on 2008 SLs to make room for the 2009 facelift SL. Market conditions were bad enough then that the 2010 SL year was skipped. MB probably should have launched the 2024 MY as a 2025 car since it came out so late in the year. In 2008/2009 there were quite a few enhancements from one year to the next for the SL and I eventually regretted not buying the 2009 model. Although the 2008 was a good deal. That's not really the case between the 2024/2025 AMG GT.

Not sure how truthful this is, hence the post. I am seeing inventory creep up, so cutting seems perfectly reasonable. 20 is quite steep.

MB EV customers get high discounts on cars in inventory everyday. Inventory levels are significantly higher than they were three years ago so floor plan interest is real and dealers should be motivated to sell cars. A $20K discount is too much for a dealer to absorb so MB would have to contribute significantly before we see that much of an incentive. I think the AMG GT43 launch will be delayed until the inventory of 2024 55s and 63s comes down. Otherwise GT43 sales could cannibalize sales of the higher models. A $20K discount on a 2024 AMG GT63 is more likely since the $40K premium over the GT55 is hard to explain. I could also see discounts favoring cars without the most desirable options. I don't pretend to know which options that may be.

From what i see around my area, it doesn't look like many '24 GTs - 55s or 63s - are moving off dealer lots very fast. If not mistaken, it looks like the local dealers have in inventory what they had back in the summer; obviously, can't comment or know about orders, though. Given the enthusiastic reception the redesign has gotten in the automotive media (yeah, i know those guys get treated well to say nice things, and they want to be invited back for the next big deal), and how much i am enjoying mine, what do you guys think is holding back sales? Price? Interest rates on loans/leases? First MY jitters? Something else?

The option program is also a hindrance, The base model is pretty sparse, need to add 20-25K to get it to where a car like this needs to be. Well equipped these seem to be in the mid 150's to 160K. Steep IMO.

Two things are slowing me down from moving on an AMG GT55. 1) Pitiful trade-in values for my EQS, and no option for A/S tires. A significant discount on a 2024 would help with both of these issues.

Yes! The lack of options for the A/S is also an issue. There are literally zero worthy options.

I believe Winter tires are available for the 21” wheels.

So far I haven't been able to find anything like this - checked Tire Rack, etc. So if you have found something that works decently, please tell me what and where.

I saw the 20's but nothing for 21's. I'm not interested in seasonal tire swapping. This isn't a deciding factor as we don't really get bad winters in the DC area anymore, more of an inconvenience.

Tirerack online catalog includes 295/30-R21 as well as 305/30-R21 Winter tires. However, both sizes are not available for a single brand and tire model. If I did get an AMG GT55 with 21" Summer tires, I would be comfortable installing the Winter 295/30-R21 size on both the front and rear wheels since the 10.5" and 11.0" wheel widths are both acceptable for the 295 tires.

Not yet. My sales rep made an unsolicited 3.5% discount offer on a 2024 GT55 along with a low ball trade-in offer on my EQS SUV today. I am hoping that MB incentives to clear the 2024 inventory materialize by the end of January, 2025.

There are a lot of new 2024 GT55s on dealer lots that have been sitting around for over 150 days. Some are over 180 days. I doubt if many of these in the Northern States will be sold soon since they are fitted with Summer tires. I would think that MB would offer some incentives on 2024 cars soon to help the dealers make room for the 2025s.

A $40k premium between 63 and 55 is not “hard to explain”. It makes perfect sense and is in line with what Mercedes has always charged between AMG models. Look at the G550 and G63; even when the 550 had the same V8, there was a $40k difference.
Folks - if you care about resale value - GET THE GT63! The 43 and 55 values will plummet and you lose more than the ~$40k you saved at purchase! Come back here in 5-10 years if you don’t believe me.

The GT43 will not cannibalize sales of the higher models. 63 buyers value the additional performance and knowing they have “the best”. They would never even cross shop a 43 or 55.

2019 AMG GT R
So I was shopping around for an AMG GTR and then one of the mercedes dealerships offered a 2024 GT63 which had a price tag of $200k plus tax CAD.
the shocking part is that he was willing to sell the 2024 GT to me for 165k CAD but personally wouldnt pick 2024 GT over 2020 GTR.
Was curious if people are seeing similar discounts in their areas too? Assuming this platform is not doing too well coz ive never experienced or heard of a mercedes rep giving such a steep discount on a brand new car!?
