Looking to buy 2019 GTC roadster- Advice & Future value
Hi im looking to buy a 2019 GTC with 12000kms.
Clean record, one owner, had one service @ MB dealership.
Overall looks immaculate
Anything particular to look for?
Also, do you see values going up now? Did it get announced the AMG GT has been discontinued?
thx

There will be no deliveries in 2022 - Mercedes is not shipping any V8 cars next year. And there were barely any delivered this year.
Yes, I think the 2019 and 2018MY especially will retain their value well.
The AMG GT is not discontinued - it will share a platform with the new SL, and it will be an AWD hybrid.

well lets see, the AMG GT is no longer in production and we have not heard any details about a new generation nor have we seen any spy shots. Not to mention Mercedes has been discontinuing coupes (S class, E class)

Consider the upcoming AMG GT coupe a 110% certainty. AMG is the cash cow of Daimler with more or less free rein and the GT line is the reputation driver for the brand. Dropping some cabs and coupes form the lineup are irrelevant as they were money losing endeavors and were part of slimming down the portfolio.
AMG is nowhere close on their EV's to be able to drop a key product line.

where is your evidence? This generation has come to an end and we have no seen a single spy.shot or any bit of information of a new generation (besides that clay model with lewis hamilton). Even on the off chance that theyve been developing a new generation...,it wont be a mid engine car, wont be a transaxle, no dual clutch....cant see it being a better drivers car than the current generation.

For all we know, they can also use the SL as a mule for testing.
We also know that Mercedes also has no issues skipping model years; the SL is a good example of that.
I much prefer the current setup of the GT over the new platform with its standard front engine, AWD, airmatic and standard tranny as well but that is immaterial.

I can’t follow your comment. If a car is on the production roadmap you need evidence to show that it’s not coming instead. And the lack of spy shots doesn’t indicate a thing, the first spy-shot of the SL was a more or less pre-production car.

If you have a choice of getting a 2019 AMG GTc roadster OR a newly re-designed 2022 SL 63 AMG roadster......which one would you choose and why?
The new SL will be a 4-seater, 4-matic but softop just like the GTc.....
GTc interior maybe outdated since its debut in ? 2017 and by 2022....will be 5 years old in design
The interior of the new SL has a very large tiltable monitor, more modern dash,.......
The only I wish they kept the hardtop feature since with top up, it drives like a hardtop coupe
Like to have your comments ?
Thanks.

For me the 2019 would be my choice. It was the 2-seater platform that brought me here. If I didn't have that choice I would be looking in the direction of an R8 or one of the other mid-engine 2-seat platforms. 2+2 is OK like my Bentley GT, but not a full blown, 4-door 4-seater, or 2-door 4-seater.

I just put my name on the wait list for a 2022 Mercedes AMG SL, likely a 53. The only deposit and signature for such is a friendly handshake ( Both the salmon and me are doubly vaccinated ).....
So no confirmed built date, delivery date but I expect it may be into spring or summer before she arrives by boat from Germany to Canada
I chose the SL over the GTc because she will have 4-wheel drive .....better for Canadian winter. The SL will replace my 2018 E-400 Cabriolet (Snow White).
Welcome any comments by anyone who had ordered a 2022 SL
Thanks.

I can see that you come from an E-Class cab. For that, the new SL will be a great improvement in every aspect from design, performance, drive dynamics and luxury. Expect a significant price bump and that the rear seats are much less usable than on the cab. It is a tru 2+2...
For anyone coming from the GTC, the SL will be inferior albeit quicker. On paper, the new SL is literally a top down E63s/GT63s but the GTC is hands down the more fun car to drive. The front-mid engine layout, transaxle DCT & RWS makes the car just very agile and it is quite sticky for a RWD. Plus it is the better looking car
We just added the MB extended new car warranty (7yr/70k) and will keep our GTC roadster for the time being.

2020 AMG GTC
I have driven the new 2022 SL55 and SL63 both on the race track and on the road for about 85 miles. I can tell you it’s a mix of S Cab and GT63 the way it feels and drives. Very capable on the track , and a lot more comfort on the road. 2+2 configuration and the new S class interior.
Driver feel and excitement are not the primary focus for that car like it is for the GT series. I have a 2020 AMG GTC in solar beam and I am keeping it for a little longer. My history is S63, AMG GT63, C63, AMG GT, GLC63 etc I have had a fair share of AMGs and I am very excited about the new SL as it will be a huge improvement over the current one.
Now for the next generation AMG GT, it is coming for sure and it will be MHEV V8 Biturbo AWD 2 seater. That is the plan for now and we’re about 2-3 years away from the 2nd gen AMG GT.

The new SL has been introduced. Here is a link to the SL forum: https://mbworld.org/forums/sl-class-...-roadster.html
While I like the design I am really concerned about the weight of the car and in turn, the new AMG GT.
If the numbers turn out to be accurate, the new standard SL63 clocks in at over 4300 lbs! Almost 700 lbs more than the GTC roadster. With ePerformance this will likely be a 4600+ lbs. car.

Not much can be done - the battery and motor(s) need to be there.
Most people don't care, because they are not driving enthusiasts.

I think it's the prettiest SL they've made in 50 years ... it is an elegant grand tourer with decent power and conservatively aggressive looks, so far as know that's the SL ethos perfectly executed.
Now if they were trying to combine an SL and GT cab in one car then I'm not sure this is going to please either buyer, but I don't know what MB's strategy is in that regard, are they going to make a new GT gen?
Either way, this is the first post 71 SL I've ever seen that I would consider purchasing.
