[AMG GTS 2016] Any issues I should be aware of before purchasing?
Hello,
First time posting here.
I'm thinking about purchasing a 2016 AMG GTS. It's mileage is about 10000 miles now.
Is there any major issues I should be aware of before purchasing the car?
Or should I just avoid this model year?
Btw, this is the newest AMG GTS I can find in my country.
Anything newer would be 2019 GT or 2018 GTR.

I heard reports of them leaking. Forgot if it was the GTS or GTC Or both.

Ten years on, look at body panels and under hood fender bolts for accident damage. Cars with this low mileage probably sat in body shops for a long time
The recall, as I remember it, which was done to my car was the carbon fiber driveshaft, not the transmission.

And the dealer agrees to have the car inspected again by another car inspection company of my choice.
If the recall is done, does that mean the carbon fiber driveshaft issue won't happen at a later time?

IIRC, the GTRs (and BS and maybe GTCs?) have the carbon fiber torque tube, in addition to the normal carbon fiber driveshaft. I'm guessing that was the confusion.
