Considering the sale of my beloved 2016 AMG GTS...
Haven't decided yet, but considering. I would be interested in your comments/feedback on what you think she may be worth so that I can make an informed decision. I bought the car as a 'Certified Pre-Owned' vehicle from Mercedes of Knoxville, TN. She had 436 miles on her. Yep, 436. Today she has16K miles and has resided in Georgia -- in my temperature-controlled car barn -- ever since. The CPO warranty expires 4/20/2023 with unlimited miles. Never been near a track, never been abused. Newer tires. I've kept her on a trickle charger since purchase and the original battery is still *strong*. I had the driveshaft replaced under recall in November of 2019 (car had 10K miles).
Exterior is Selenite Grey and interior is Black Nappa/Dinamica Exclusive - Red. She has been ceramic coated and has PPF on the front end, hood, and front fenders. ** Completely stock. No aftermarket parts and no tunes. Ever. **
Options include:
- B07 Carbon Ceramic Braking System ($8950)
- C52 Indoor car cover ($370)
- U25 AMG Illuminated Door Sill ($700)
- 239 DISTRONIC PLUS ($2800)
- 416 Panorama Roof ($1260)
- 811 Burmester HIGH END Surround Sound System ($4500)
- P71 AMG Dynamic Plus Package ($2600)
- 22P Lane Tracking Package ($875)
- 318 Exclusive Interior Package ($3600)
Thanks again for any comments/suggestions as I try and make this difficult decision.
I have a few buddies of mine who own a whole sale car business and this question actually came up (I have the same car albeit I own an edition one). They said retail is about ~97k so you could probably sell it for 85-90k. A few dealerships actually offered me 87-88k for mine not too long ago.
Thanks for your potential interest. I'm not sure how to PM you but in all honesty, I don't know what it would take to sell her yet. Low mileage (I would think) with CCB's (no track use) and still under a full CPO warranty from Mercedes for another 20+ months. I would hope it would go for a premium. Who knows in this crazy market.
I’m in the Southern California and just picked one up October 21’ and with the pricing I’ve seen, it would be more placed in that 93-95k range if listed in this area.
Not sure if this helps, but I just bought a 2018 designo cardinal red GTS with pretty much the same options as yours. I owner car with 9,300 miles for $104k. Still has some factory warranty left. For what its worth, I think a private sale of your car to the right buyer could bring in $90-$95k. You might have to wait a bit, but don't wait too long as buyers become more scarce in the fall.
I showed your car to a guy at the High St. CC on Saturday. He was talking to me about my 2017, expressed an interest in one. He has a copy of this thread...who knows, maybe it'll be a buyer for you....or at least maybe an offer.
In your profile, it says you drive a Bentley Continental GT. If that's correct, I wonder how many of us drive both the AMG GTS and Continental GT. It's a great combination IMHO.
I bought my 42k mile 2017 GTS a year ago, so I knew the prices then and have watched where they are now. I agree that with your sticker/condition I'd ask $104ish and likely take mid $90s. I'm from and have a car storage area way less nice than yours in lower Bartow county (Emerson), but I live more in the Buford corner of Lake Lanier with my GTS parked outside. I did also live down in the Buckhead/Brookhaven area until a few years. Small world huh. One of my main lifetime memories near Waleska was a motorcycle hillclimb event. GLWS.
