MY21 GT cars have either been scarce or non existent. It's almost like they skipped production for a year and that's pushing up the MY20 and other previous cars.
It is the covid market. Pre-covid GTSs could be had in the high 50s and 60s.
Its much more likely that you'll eat a decent decrease in value when the covid market corrects, long before you see any investment potential.
covid's going to be here for a while and inflation is going to be pretty key since 60% of all money was printed in past 12 months
wouldn't mind selling mine to capture some gains
I have posted about this before. BIG MISTAKE to sell now.
In a few years there will no more AMG gas V8s ... no more gas engines, period!
The next AMG GT will be platform shared with the SL...
The current GT is a bespoke chassis, with the last non-hybrid V8 that will EVER be made by AMG.
Think about it...

I would not worry about not being able to buy gas! The adoption of EVs will not be as fast as governments hope, because most consumers know that EVs just don't make much sense (at least for now).
Toyota's Chairman is already pushing back on a full shift to EVs.
My point was just to point out that gas V8s from AMG are not going to be made anymore. There will be some form of hybridization, at least until there is a battery tech breakthrough.
These cars are not going to go up in value. I see the same talking point on every car forum about how their car is going to go up in value because electric is coming. AMGs historically have some of the worst resale in the car industry.
Very few cars go up in value. Even something like a 458 Speciale is debatable if it'll go up and that's a far more limited production car from a more prestigious marquee.

It's just the overly optimistic owners bias, lmao.

the majority of the forum is in your corner, surge is just delusional.
Porsche Beverly Hlils just posted a used 2019 GTS for more than original sticker...
GTS isn't even a Turbo or real GT model ...
The supply problem is very apparent in Porsche world at least and in AMG GT world there are no 2020s and 2021s to be found anywhere...
Supposedly new 911 waitlist is 1-2 years now?

I wouldnt compare Porsche 911s to AMG GT....and i wouldn't compare current market prices to what long term prices will be...the current market is just a snapshot in time - and inflated for obvious reasons. 15-20 years from now neither the 992 or the the AMG GT will appreciate (save for maybe the black series)

I can't think of anything defining about the GT lineup that would cause it to appreciate. Modern Mercedes benz, not NA, no unique features such as gullwing doors, confusing and muddied trim lineup, etc.

agree...they will likely depreciate less / at a lower rate than a typical AMG, however.

It's going to be as simple as supply/ demand basics that will determine. Look at the SLS - most would say the gull wings were a no brainer appreciated value, while the roadster would be a throwback. Now, the SLS roadster is pulling down >$150K to buy.
Time will tell - its not a limited production car, but was produced in a very limited fashion. I didn't buy it as an investment - anyone who did has to be smoking something. I think it's anyone's guess as to what the future brings for these things.
To think that AMG GTS will appreciate in value is mind blowiing lol. AMG GTS is to be compared with 911, and P Cars holds the value better should not be a question
I was assuming the thread was for current COVID/microchip shortage caused supply problem with car manufacturers causing short term prices to rise well above expected value, not "let's keep this car for 20 years and hope it turns out to be E30 M3"

I'm not sure how that would be possible, when the thread was started in 2018 😁
Long Answer: Yes for the person who has barely driven their car. When they sell their car in like 20 years, it will get sold for more than MSRP lol. Everyone else wont touch MRSP ever. Unless 90% of the GTs catch fire or get wrecked, its just not happening. The car became more limited than anticipated, but it still isn't extremely rare.
I don't think it will appreciate significantly but I do think it will hold value better than many similar cars. Providing of course you bought used at a good price.
The GT is still a scarce car. It has a lot of appeal for those who want Porsche quality and performance without driving a car that is fairly commonly seen.
And I do believe the end of non electric assisted powertrains will make the V8's more desirable.
5 years from now a sub 20K mile GTS, GTC, or GTR will sell for more than you paid for it...if you bought well, used. And 3-4K miles a year for a performance car is a good allotment of fun miles.
I think it may for the fact that whether it’s the old or new body style, the car has a timeless classic roadster look to it. They’ll probably dip in value in the near future and then find a place to inch up and/or hold.
I would say the S/C/R will probably hold a higher value than the base GT - also a big factor will be what options the car has too. Most of the sub $80k GT models I looked at when searching over a few months were typically lightly optioned and/or had prior damage/lemon titles.
This is what happened with my S2000 - picked up my second S2000 in 2012 (3yrs post end of production) for $13k when the values were down. They are averaging $20-35k for non CR models the past 6-9months depending on quality/mileage of the car. Even though Honda made a ton of them over a 9yr run, there’s not a lot of great stock examples left. Different class of car than the GT, but still a great roadster and great driving experience.
I haven’t watched it fully, but this guy’s content is junk. He makes assertions based on incredibly faulty data, which makes his findings useless. Would Fail a high school stats class!
* key issue is that he doesn’t use selling prices. Asking prices are useless.
* next issue is the sample size is low, for cars like this. Which compounds the first issue.
* he doesn’t take into account price as equipped with options. That makes a Huge difference, especially for cars like this or Porsches, where you can almost double the base price depending on equipment.
so a “10% depreciation” is not the case if there are 10% of base price in options.
Worthless content. Maybe I agree with his conclusion, but it’s still worthless.
