Hey guys -
Prices are all over the board on these things and I need some expert feedback from owners who have recently picked up a GTR please. Now - before you hammer me on "price being subjective and its worth whatever I am willing to pay for it etc.", I am looking for real-life advice in this whacky post covid car buying frenzy world.
I am interested in a 2018-2019 car with less than 10k miles with some of these options. What do you think I can expect to pay? what constitutes a good value? Appreciate the help for the rookie.
Been tracking pricing since October 2020 - that was the very last time prices were actually amazing for used GT Rs
Since then, there has been parabolic up-swing from multiple factors as you well know - discontinuation of the model as mentioned, chip shortage, other supply chain shortages, etc etc
A solid deal would be ~140K for ~5K miles with everything on your goodie list above. Examples of this were available up until mid-April, after which prices steadily rose each month. The Selenite Grey Magno color seems to sell the quickest.
And then you had a bunch of speculation from out of state Dealer agents who were competing against you to ****** the remaining well priced GT Rs in your own state, only for that same GT R to show up 3-4 weeks later on their own website for 20+K markup (cough cough - Mark Motors, TX is one such example).
At this point, it may make more sense to look for a 2019 New GT R that's been sitting on the lot for awhile (rare) where a price drop is imminent, or consider uber low mileage 2019s with CPO Warranty of which there are a few examples, especially on Autotrader.

Good luck!
There are no new 19 or 20 GTR's in dealer inventory that I can see.
Once the Black Series is released and you see those cars on social media etc I think the price of used GTR's will probably go up.
Seeing it happen with 2018 G 63's. Those have jumped almost $20 grand over the last year or so.
As much as I love the GTR and want one myself badly its not worth the asking price. $180k for a used 2020 GTR is a joke. The car worth $150k, realistically $140k. Just my humble opinion..

Late April, 2021: New 2019 Solarbeam with 40 miles and 209K sticker sold for 125K before taxes/fees at MB dealership
Late June, 2021, New 2019 Green Hell Magno with 100 miles and 210K sticker sold for 159K before taxes/fees at MB dealership
There may be a New 2020 out there, sitting on the lot for 1+ year, lonely and looking for a new home. . .

LOL if you think a 2020 GTR is worth 140K. What are your alternatives (from a performance perspective) at that price point?
It's interesting to see what people think these are worth since a year ago most would balk at paying close to sticker for a slightly used GTR. Back then, a decent amount of new cars sold at prices well below what a current 15-25k mile car is listed for.
The GTR is interesting since its production run got cut short to 3 years...with a refresh just for 1 model year. That has to be a good recipe for desirability 10-15 years from now, but until then I don't even have an inkling. That being said, this car is def work its sticker price, let alone ~$180k or whatever the going price is right now. It is rarer and faster than most Huracans and has road presence that is unlike any other front engine sports car out there. Porsche's 992 GT3 is being lauded for finally having a double wishbone setup when AMG had that in the GT all along. Not to mention every other sports car at CnC is a GT3 lol
If one is seriously looking, one can find a New 2020. Somewhere. Just like those 2 previously mentioned New 2019s. They were only advertised on 1 out of the 6 or so vehicle search engines, and were not on MBUSA New Inventory website.
New 2020 GT R in Black for $181K sticker. On lot for 1 year. Possible imminent price drop:
Pricing on the GT's/GTR's has gone up as everyone has said just like every other car... I've seen 2018's from the low 120's to now $150's+ retail. I took a nice hit on my GTR & GTR Pro when I sold last year, but it is what it is in today's market, I don't think AMG owners other than black series owners and some special models have EVER seen the come back of depreciation like this in a lifetime and probably never will.
Wholesale with low miles is between high 2018's in the $120's all the way in the $170's for the 2020's and that's WHOLESALE...

Those cars were collecting dust for almost 2 years on dealer lots because no one wanted them for $200k. Mercedes gave tens of thousands dollars in rebates to dealers in order to try and move the cars. I was offered a brand new 2020 gtr for $155 last summer and I turned the offer down thinking it would go lower. I had a deal where my dealer gave me a $50k discount on the roadster. These cars started to move just because people want to spend money and no other cars to buy. And I still want one, but I just don’t think it’s worth $180k used even though it’s one bada$$ car.

Ok so if you dont think the GT R warrants 180k, what car in its segment does?

But still relevant, I believe prices are going to dive once people realize the cost of owning high priced anything.
i’ve been looking at some yachts and it’s absolutely crazy how expensive some boats have become. As much as that market has always been volatile, I’m thinking it will be a crazy buyers market next year…..
MY 2018 with 1,300 miles paid 155K + 2K for the 20/21 Modulare wheels and tires. I might have paid too much in some peoples eyes but it has all the options and color I wanted.
