Is a certified Mercedes Benz AMG GT the way to BUY your DREAM CAR?

[@All_In_AK]

For those who are confused: The 2017 AMG GT is 456 HP and 0-60 in about 3.7/3.8 seconds where as the GT S is 503 HP with 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds. This particular model in the video appears to be the base model GT, not the GT S. Either way, they’re both incredible cars!

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for that great info!

[@AAA11546]

$80k for a lightly used certified AMG GT 2017 is a good price, compared to the nearly $150k MSRP

[@asdf51501]

I agree, and it's a pretty damned nice car, too.

[@RaitisRides]

I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you so much for watching!

[@RaitisRides]

I agree as well!

[@elhugeo]

Lol it lost about 60 thousand dollars in value in 2 years.

[@feelswheels5665]

That is actually pretty on par with what they cost. I bought a CPO 2016 AMG GTS 4 months ago for $80k. Can't go wrong with this car. After owning a 911 S for 6 years, and prior a Cayman S for 5 years... I am completely sold on AMG's engineering. You can't beat the supercar feel of this car.

[@matty74123]

80K, a lot of car for the money

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very right about that!

[@Kazuma232]

It’s the perfect dream car that anyone can afford .

[@jimvelie5654]

@@Kazuma232 anyone don't think so but could I yes.

[@Bigman-fh1fz]

@@Kazuma232 not anyone but what you want to say is you don’t have to be a multi millionaire with a income of over 600k in 3 months to afford one

AMG GT isn't my Dream car but its sibling or cousin SLS AMG and its Black series are damn sure my dream car

[@RaitisRides]

That is a sexy car!

[@sardinekisser7581]

Hey, smart with the logo coverups. I've been worried about the 'nothing better to do' crowd trying to set up trouble for you. Please keep that up. Very slick and professional, and we still get the experience. We all know that you never exceed the speed limit during testing, but keep up with the logo covers.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for saying that and understanding. I try to be as professional as I can!

[@LS1007]

That’s a beautiful machine. Still out of my price range though. You said it has 503 HP but in the description it says 456HP. Thanks for the ride Joe! Have a good weekend. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@RaitisRides]

I am so glad that you liked this one Larry! I fixed the description. Thanks for the heads up!

[@LS1007]

No problem Joe! I wasn’t trying to be a nit-picker, just wanted to bring it to your attention so others wouldn’t be confused.👍🏻🙏🏼😎

[@Vasil-of2ki]

L S I think he said 503hp because that’s the hp of the S version of the AMG GT

[@LOST131100]

since it’s the GT (not S) shouldnt it be 456HP

[@LS1007]

Raiti's Rides Hey Joe, 456 HP was correct. The description is showing 503.

[@jplay0426]

At 81k this is a steal

[@moflow99]

Sitting back and low and looking out over a long hood like that makes me think of one of my first cars... a 280Z. That car had 1 thing that this one needs though... a stick! 😉

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you! That is a great way to describe it!

[@jesseshexton7602]

I want a 280Z so bad. My aunt had one when I was a kid and it was so fuckin cool.

[@MSALSARRAF]

I got a certified GTS and i love it but, porsches 911 Turbo is the best car I have ever owned and will always own one till i die

[@lyndahammel9502]

This looks like a very nice car. 193 mph!!! Oh, my!!!! Guess I'll keep my Mustang as my daily driver. It's plenty fast for me. I loved how you kept testing the acceleration, lol, well done.

[@ke0kie]

Always always always carefully inspect the gearbox for leaks, and on 2016s see if they have had a gearbox replacement / or qualify for the MB extended transmission (getrag) warranty.

[@SilverScarletSpider]

This car is so weird and crazy. The spiritual successor to the Original Dodge Viper.

This is NOT the S model, this engine is 470 HP not 503. I am in the market for one, for this I am sure. 0-60 form Mercedes is quoted as 3.9 seconds.

[@brooklynnewyork5255]

It’s not a GTS as he sometimes says. It’s the base GT. And also a rather low optioned one. Still a nice car. And the car can be tuned to match the upper variants of the model in power. However it will still lack the Race Mode settings, no carbon fiber, no Bermester sound system. And other nice features.

[@ConsciousRobot]

It's obviously an impressive car, but to be honest I've never been a fan of how it looks, mainly because the front end is way too long. I can appreciate a long hood to an extent but the proportions on this car are just too extreme for my taste. From the front fender back though, absolutely gorgeous.

[@RaitisRides]

Very good points my friend! Thanks for letting me take you on the ride!

[@stephendibari7704]

Great review Joe ! Major car but no more German cars for me ! Owned too many Audi’s, BMW’s and VW’s and they’re all empty money pits as they age with high mileage! Lease German, buy Japanese. That’s my quote and I say that to everyone! (Although I’ve never leased a car in my life!) I understand your purpose of reviewing this.. as an option to go up against a Z06 but if I had that kind of money I’d take the Z06 all day long

the dumbest decision ever is to buy european brand car in the US. these bmw, mercedes, audi are over engineered, over priced plastic and steel that doesnt last long. every car nowadays will last for about 5yrs but wait to see the service and parts cost on this overpriced plastic after the warranty expires. very limited number of mechanics in the US can work on this junk. wv is in the same level too. bmw or audi in europe with 150k miles is considered ready for junk. get yourself some reliable japanese brand and see it goes easy 300k miles with basic oil and filter change. avoid european and i am from Europe btw
