I hope you get every penny you want but I have to say there have been many mentions of G63s at MSRP in several threads here lately.

2020 G63 Magno Black/2019 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged
my way no offense. But I just bought my 2020 G63 with matte Magno black and red interior with a 180k msrp at msrp. If you are serious about selling someone would only pay below msrp by 10k or more. There are many dealers offering msrp now.

I forgot to say that you should list it in the Marketplace here and the Classifieds on 6speedonline, which has a higher end clientele that looks for such vehicles: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...e/cars/search/

He must mean practical in terms of the payment because as you said, the G is definitely practical. Unlike when I bought my C63 and it sat in a garage all Canadian winter long...now that was not practical.

you may want to look at taking 20k off of that. You currently have people backing out of orders now, and G's are starting to show up in lots. Depending on the field the customer is in, this pandemic does not affect them. Good Luck

Do you have the build sheet? Maybe you can post it here so one can see the specifics. Any extras or changes? And I assume the warranty start date was Nov. '19, right?

- get full body PPF and ceramic if you don't want to worry about scratches, chips, etc.
- use special washing detergent, such as Dr. Beasley's products for matte paint
- never go to a carwash
The matte paint is actually more durable than glossy, but it will still chip and scratch fairly easily. Any repair will require a lot more repainting than with glossy paint, so it's going to be more expensive.

Thank You
Nice color. Lots of info on how to take care of matte Magno paint here. I have an AMG GT in Magno grey. In short:
- get full body PPF and ceramic if you don't want to worry about scratches, chips, etc.
- use special washing detergent, such as Dr. Beasley's products for matte paint
- never go to a carwash

I'm assuming you will be turning it in after the lease ends, so you don't have to worry about repainting the front end or any other panels that are scratched or dinged.
And you can't add PPF later, unless you repaint then add PPF.
We did full body PPF on our new G wagon, which is Polar White. Still great for glossy colors. One example: our plastic garbage bin fell over after it was collected at curbside and hit the rear bumper. It nicked the PPF but that's it. If you're **** (like me) and a bumper hit like this would be annoying, then get the PPF.
It's also a really good idea to get the windshield protected with EXOSHIELD. For ~$500, it's cheap protection against a windshield crack. Yes, you could go through insurance to fix a broken windshield, but new glass takes a while to be shipped, some wait more than 1 month. And I'd rather not have a 3rd party ripping out my windshield if I can help it (no dealers do this in house).

I also don't think PPF is worth it if you're leasing or getting rid of the car in a few years. Cheaper to repaint a panel than spend thousands and thousands on a full wrap. Full wraps don't add to the value of the car in my experience and often times actually negatively affect the price because dealer can't tell actual paint condition, it may peel, etc.

Well, I started out wanted Selenite Gray but that changed when we saw one in a parking lot and thought it looked too dark. Then we decided on Platinum Magno and the order was changed to reflect that color; however, my wife thought that Desert Silver Metallic would be nice but the dealer said it was too late to change it but he was ok with us deciding when it arrived since it was an existing allocation. Then their sister dealer offered us one in Desert Silver so if we do not want the Magno we'll wait for the other. It is kind of up to my wife since she will be the primary driver as I decided what color my Porsche is, but I am the one who maintains them so I get a say! My Harley is Matte Black and if the G were that sheen I could not live with it since it is no where close to the Magno paint in looks and quality.
