New Member AMG GT Phoenix

New guy in hot pursuit of an AMG GT. I became a member yesterday and first post was a help me one on the GT forum. Guys there were great and responsive. I will be possibly purchasing one this week.

I'm a tech type car guy and "garage queen" master. Retired Mechanical Engineer and spending my sunset days baking in the pizza oven better known as Phoenix (or, this year with record heat, we're now calling it Hades, AZ). So, if/when I secure a GT I will be privileged to spend time here and learn from the member experts.

Thanks - Steve

Thanks guys - I will definitely post a pic. The one I am shopping is a yellow solarbeam and it is the color that has me in doubt. I like the color, but wonder about how it will resell someday. That was my question to the GT forum, which is a dumb one BC color is such a personal choice. On other forums, I always laughed at those with posts that started with - "Help me choose....." and here I am doing the same thing!

Yellow elicits strong comments across the spectrum when a yellow sports car comes up for sale, for example Lambo, Ferrari or Porsche. In my experience most of the comments seem to be variations of, “ewwwwwwww.”

I don’t do yellow. If it is priced attractively, color could be a/the reason.
