Is it possible for me to get into an AMG GT-S?
Hi guys, so I've been a fan of the GT since it was revealed as the essential replacement for the SLS. I currently drive a 911 Carrera S and my lease will expire in October of this year.
I'm currently aiming to shoot for a lease price between 14-1600 with at least 10K miles a year. Leasing a car makes more sense than buying for me personally due to the way my contracting job is set up. I don't know the MF or residual pricing for a 16 GT-S, nor do I know what MB dealerships are willing to do when it comes to getting these cars off their lots. I know this is months in advance, but I'd like to have an idea of what cars I can cross of the list at this point.
Any help/advice is appreciated

I don't think you have a prayer of getting anywhere close to those numbers. For good general information about lease prices on these cars go to http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicl.../bodystyle-CPE and configure a car. At the end of the configuration process you can get estimates on prices based on length and miles per year in the lease.
Others in this group may have more information that would also help.

I guess it would depend how much money you are willing to put down. It can be done but the out of pocket will be susbtantial.
Assuming about $5K down, like DRawan stated, you are not close to it. With zero down, I was quoted about about $2.1K per month for a low optioned car. AMGs do not lease well.

I guess what I'm trying to gauge here is what % if any off of MSRP have you guys been able to score your cars for? I'm assuming most guys here are ordering their cars exactly how they want so maybe no discount off MSRP? I was able to land a near to 10% discount off the 130K sticker on the Carrera S and wound up with a great lease payment (the MF and residual's appear similar to the AMG GTS).

If you find a GTS on the ground that has been sitting you can probably get it a cost or even back of cost depending on the market conditions of the area and the dealer's motivation to move the car. I think the actual majority of the owners of the GTS (not just members here) just bought their cars based on finding them. I didn't order mine as it was an Edition 1.

AMG GT S
I just bought my 2016 AMG GT S at msrp. Here in Canada the msrp is ridiculously cheap compared to the US. For example, US base is 129,900 and Canada 149,900. Well normally the spread is way higher for up here. And it is such a great car!
I think you would need to drop 25-30k down to hit a monthly lease rate of 1500. Considering that the max lease term is 36 months on this car.
