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.

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)

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.

this thread is funny...just a bunch of people trying to do mic drops on each other through pure speculation and personal conscious/unconscious bias.

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 😁

Short Answer: No.
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.

* 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.

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!

Wow, you two must have failed math. You must believe anything that is depicted in a fancy looking chart!
As someone who took stats throughout undergrad, and someone with common sense, I have a 100% Confidence Interval that this guy's videos are Junk!
