We were in Towne Lake. If you live in the City of Woodstock, my son is the mayor.

Small indeed. Woodstock has grown into a great spot a lot like Alpharetta.

hey I’m just putting this out there obviously I’m in Brookhaven, I have a 2019 BMW M5 with 14 K that I am thinking hard about selling as I have three cars. It is black sapphire with Aragon Brown merino ( more orange with black stripe ) interior.

new P4S and oil and tranny fluid getting changed soon. Car is perfect. If anyone is interested PM me.

Might want to try Bimmerpost or the Marketplace instead of this thread. Thanks…

I am open to selling her. I'm just not willing to give her away. I'm a little shocked on how little money (overall) these cars are demanding.

They’re actually demanding significantly more in the last 18 months than ever before, by far. The same 2016 GTS with 10K miles that sold in 2018-2019 for $70K are now selling @ 30K miles for $90K. GTS held value very poorly for the first few years. Honestly, that’s been most AMGs, though (aside from the super rare, obv).

I made a tough decision to sell my 16 GTS too. I posted it for 98k for a few weeks, received 2 private offers at 90k and a few dealers offers at 80k. When push comes to shove, the buyers at 90 flaked out. I decided to trade it in for 80k at a dealer and got myself a 21 Evora GT. I could have sold it privately for 90 but taxes absolutely kill you and with trading it I saved on the taxes.

In looking at the market the value of the GTS is starting to go down for sure. Noticed while pricing mine that most are now in the 90s and even some in the 80s. If you’re looking to sell, probably best to sell now vs later as I imagine the prices will keep going down.

What my wife and I were talking about tonight is interesting (to us)... we've owned four (4) Mercedes (two currently), and all of them have been AMG's. Never owned a Mercedes that wasn't an AMG... Maybe our view of the brand is a little bit biased. Three (3) E63's and one AMG GTS. my wife *loves* her 2018 E63S. i couldn't pry it out of her hands.

I'm fortunate in that I don't have to sell her unless I want to. If I get less for her later, so be it. If I'm gonna sell now, I want a premium to make it worth my time... Maybe arrogant, but I'd rather enjoy the car and get less later than regret selling her at a significant discount.

This is happening across the board for used cars. Just like stocks no one really knows when the top or the bottom will be. I imagine the marketplace will return to how it has been (almost) for the past and used cars will depreciate as they always have. The real trick is what is the car really worth to you vs what it will sell in the market right now - that is the the only real number. If you want to keep it then it doesn't matter what its value is, if you need to sell you will receive whatever the market values it as. Prices will slowly return to where they 'should' be over the next year except for specific makes and models that defy logic and valuation. Still interested in yours at the right price.
