AMG GTR depreciation
Any thoughts on AMG GTR price in the next few years (2-3 years)? I know they probably won't hold the value as well as 911 GT3 but what do you predict the depreciation curve will be like for the next couple of years.

I've already seen some as low as $115k asking price. Hard to imagine they'll fall much below the $100k mark in the next few years, given the level of performance. But, of course, all we can do is speculate. They're already an incredible performance bargain at the current pricing!

Ive never been on a forum where people ask so many questions and are so concerned with depreciation.
Why is this important? If you like the car - buy a new or used one. Enjoy it.

Cant predict the future and market - but I bank on the depreciation not being good - although that is subjective.
I bought a 2020 GTR Pro and a fella at the dealership commented on how it’s going to be a collectors and go up in value - my response ‘not when I’m done with it. I’m going to **** this car up’.
Regardless it wasn’t going to go up in value as it isn’t ‘special enough’ and I think that about the GTR in general. Demand doesn’t outway supply.

Frd of mine just bought a fully loaded (every option selected) 2018 GHM GTR from MB Vancouver (terminal location) for $150k with only 6000km & 2 additional yrs of extended warranty (3rd party, MB does not allow GTC/R CPO in Canada). The original MSRP was $230-240k and I think that’s a definite performance bargain he got.

I personally don't care about depreciation, but when you buy a car for $190k and it looses almost 50% in just 2 years its concerning. 2020 GTR with original MSRP of $193k was sold just a few months later as CPO for $155. If you think about it the car lost almost $40k (brand new A or CLA Mercedes) in just 4 month!

Paint work
And depreciation sucks but guess what, my mclaren and Ferrari FF were 100 k plus losses, as well as other cars
no one wants to lose that money but if you can afford it you just suck it up and enjoy or like most on forums now penny pinch their every dollar, sometimes it works out sometimes not...
my s class cab I can’t imagine what it’s worth from my 170 sticker , now.
just is what it is
people buying only on “safe” special cars aren’t true enthusiasts
if you buy what you truly love, you’re going to lose one way or another, but you’ll make it up with smiles and experiences.

I think the GTR represents an incredible value. Look at the C&D Lightning lap results from 2006-2019 the only thing that comes close is the 15' Z/06. Almost everything faster (or slower) than the GTR with the exception of the 19' ZR1 adds another $50-$75 on the used market. I think cost of ownership is less with the GTR than some of the others. The C8 Corvette will eat into sales but some people will never be a Vette person regardless of performance. I would expect the GTR to find its bottom sooner than later. I watched the market for a car with the options that were important to me with low miles and pulled the trigger a month ago with 0 regrets. I could have saved if I waited I'm sure but the couple dry days we get in the Northwest this time of the year, PRICELESS!

My issue is that I am an enthusiast, but there's nothing on the market atm that I really love, that isn't mileage sensitive (Ford GT), so I chose a good all arounder instead.

Well, I don't know. Feels like for $10,000/month ($40k loss over 4 month) you can get something better than a GTR.
Also this guy got a great deal on his GTR, poor guy... https://www.swapalease.com/lease/det...?salid=1426447

The $119k car does (claimed front scrape, a member here on the forums vouched for it), the $126k does not. The user asked where he was seeing that price, I just pointed him at the one's I saw.

I inquired and it was still considered an accident
even if not on carfax it’s not a complete and fully clean no story car
inder cf braces and bit missing? Imagine the cost to replace
gets you into a no story clean car at 135 plus
i like to compare apples to apples
if someone asked me about 991.2 rs pricing I wouldn’t t quote them the one damage for 135 right now ya know?
As for gtr
its most exciting car since my 3 2008 favs of the Superleggera/Scuderia and GT3 rs
brings me back to that hardcore era that I love and know , just makes you feel like a true track guy/enthusiast of the past in this modern day of speculative talks, depreciation and appreciation talks, it’s about driving and takes care of business.

There is a lot worst in terms of depreciation from MB and other brands than a GTR. But with very rare exceptions, the worst hit happens rights off the lot. I think at this time the G63 is the best MB in terms of depreciation/appreciation...
This car isn't for everybody and since it's already facelifted it's taken two hits.

Tbh this isn't a car you get if you cant afford it to be depreciated by 40% within 3 at the very least - if you care a lot about depreciation then go with a Porsche GT car. I got my brand new 2018 GTC Roadster for $130k with an MSRP of $180k last summer. There simply isn't the demand that the GT Porsches have for these cars.

Depreciation in next 2-3 years = bad!
The GTs will hold their value over the long-term - 7++ years.
Why? Because it’s the last non-hybrid AMG. The new GT will most certainly be more expensive as well. There’s no way they can put all the new electric motor tech in and keep the price the same.
10 years out a well-kept low mileage GT will be between $80k (GTS) to $100k (GTR), with the GTC being in-betwee, and the GT around $65-75k. That’s my prediction. And prices should stay that way.
I don’t think the GTR Pro will be worth much more than $5-$10k more than the GTR.
Remember the SLS was not selling in its final year or two of production. They were sitting on lots with $10k discounts. Not suggesting the GTs will appreciate above MSRP, far from it, but I do think they will stabilize around $100k.
Now and for the next year or two is the WORST time to sell, so hold on to it and watch the price you list it at.
If you don’t agree, set yourself a reminder and check this post again in 7 years!

2021 Huracan Evo Spyder
A quick look on Autotrader and you can probably pick up a 2108 GT-C Roadster for around $100k-110k on the low end without bargaining too hard, that's almost half the MSRP (with options) in 2 years. It seems that AMG cars are still depreciation kings, and thinking they aren't anything but is just wishful thinking ($100k value in 10 years, really??).
I am guessing it'll be a $50-60K car as a 5 year car, a great bargain actually, but reliability has always been crap when it comes to German marques, with Porsche as a minor exception, hence the horrendous depreciation. Anyone who's worried about depreciation should look at Ferraris, I personally recommend the Huracan Evo spyder though, a much better way to spend $200k+ than any AMG GT, assuming you're not overly tall.
