Depreciation difference of 2019-2024 G550 vs G63
I am learning the ropes on the differences and cost differential b/w the G550 and G63 of 463A (2019-2024) series. I see many folks have posted their purchase prices of used CPO G63 prices but there is very little info on prices posted for the G550. They both have the same 4.0 M177 engine albeit with different output numbers. How much lower are the G550 prices compared to the G63 for a like to like model? Asking another way, is the depreciation curve the same for both based on respective MSRP or do G63 retain higher value compared to the G550?
Lastly, the AMG models being "hand built" is often quoted but aren't the G550 built on the same plant and under the same assembly line?

AMG engine is built by one person....supposedly. I do not want to identify what one is, or what a person is.
The internals are not identical in many instances (many changes may be just part numbers and stickers).
As for resale? If that is a concern...well, cars are never, not ever good investments.

G550
In general the G63 retains its value better than the G550 due to the higher demand but since the 2019-2024 models are the last time we will see a V8 in the 550 that model does seem to be retaining it’s value a bit better. However, overall the market has softened and resale has come down... IMO it’s a great time to purchase a CPO G.

The G63 has the M178 and there are some slight differences from the M177 that is in the G550 resulting in a higher performance engine in the G63.

2016-2024 G550 are all m176. These are assembly built engines and there are some manual overrides but these are more or less considered assembly built (as against hand built).
2016+ G63 are all m177. M177 are individually assembled by a technician in "one man, one engine" principle at the AMG manufacturing center at Affalterbach.
m178 engines are dedicated to AMG GT line of cars.

There's almost no discussion of G550's here. Everyone talks about their G63's. I traded my 2008 G500 for a new 2018 Land Cruiser and always missed it. Loved the new G550 when it first came out and watched prices take off. When the g wagon market finally cooled off I got a CPO 2019 G550 last year. I just did a search on cargurus for 2019 G550s locally. What I paid was in line with current asking prices. It's hard to get actual sales data but current prices at dealers and the length of time it's been listed will give you a decent idea of G550 depreciation.
