The Mercedes S63 AMG Lost $100,000 in Value Over 1 Year... Is It Worth It?!

Hey guys and welcome! Today Marcus drives the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG with the owner, Jesse, to see what the car is all about. Mainly, the fact that its lost over $100,000 of value in the first year of depreciation on the road. It's an exceptional automobile, but there's just something about German depreciation that keeps most of us away from the brand new AMG cars. The torque is monstrous, the looks sharp, and the interior is the nicest i've been lucky enough to sit inside. Enjoy!

Depreciation, good for me. I love getting cars used. Same experience at the fraction of the cost.

Got my mom a 2016 AMG S63 coupe 1 owner CPO early this year for Mother’s Day. Best CPO buy ever. MSRP $183k. Got it for $61.5k before taxes etc. Got it when the pandemic car market initially dropped heavily, before the used market lost its mind and prices started climbing up. I could sell it now for more. :)

Its worth it to buy used, apparently.

Depreciation is a poor man’s best friend

All cars depreciate “FULL STOP” but AMG depreciates the most. My 1 year old AMG GTS with 4, 000km lost $80, 000 and that’s after getting a 20% off the sticker price. As a comparison, 4 year old Porsche Carrera S with 17, 000km lost just $70, 000 and that’s after 4 years. The depreciation on the GTC is also very bad and the GTR will be worst especially when the black series version comes out. Most of the rich people with GTsR will be upgrading to the Black Series and they won’t care about how much they trade their car in for, all they want is to drive the fastest and latest. Another reason why the more expensive cars depreciate more is due to the taxes which you can’t recuperate and that rich people who can afford and want to drive those cars mainly buy new

Alright you guys today we are completely "balding out" in a S63 amg

coming to the western market is so funny in contrast to Asia where S classes hold value (relatively). In Asia, middle end executive saloons such as Panamera, Maybachs, and S classes or high end saloons like rolls and Bentley's, roam the streets and is basically any entreprenuer's must have for a car (yes they are considered middle end, high end is more bently and rolls which many don't dare to drive it for safety and jealousy reasons rather than affordability. Also many people have dark money, showing such a wealthy car attracts too much attention and inflicted jealousy could lead to being reported and jailed, but a Maybach or S class is pretty average). They also hold their value very well. Preferences really are different.

it is arguably one of the prettiest, if not the prettiest, mercedes coupes ever, it has a loud ass v8, handles like a dream (so they say), and has one of the prettiest interiors in any car ever... its is also very very very rare... when petrol-powered cars die out, and rich people who love cars are looking for a car which stands out and is genuinely enjoyable, this thing will cost otherworldly amounts...

[SuperHISKY]

I think the $100, 000 lost is because of the new engine upgrade and remodel. It won't depreciate that much if it has the same thing this year.

Nice video. In my opinion the S550/S63/S65 Coupe is the best looking modern car.

Same with all Mercedes. Used 2 years old S Class here in the states can be bought for mid 40’s! MSRP over 100 grand!

[secondsleft]

its dropped like 40k not 100k.... what the hell?

[norwegiantechnolover]

Well if it has lost dollars now I would say, YES, it's worth it! It's an S63!!

[dylanw]

I love the unique angles you shot of the dashboard. I never knew how sweeping and long that dashboard really was! But anyway, this such a sexy and sleek car. Get it in the cabriolet and this is an awesome "look at me" car. I wish they had the neck scarf vent in the coupe cause on cold days, it would be nice to have warm hair blowing on my neck as my heated seats and heated armrests are going.

[chasevineland]

It’s the reason why I drive Benz’s... you feel like a boss and traffic seems to just not matter.

Buys a 250k car and complains about fuel. 😂

[BlackHatProductionsx]

Misleading title...it did not lose 100k in a year. It lost 65k-70k in value. Still alot but not 100..

[tmanepic]

Only 4000km in a year? So he didn't drive it at all basically.

[ThePSNGamer]

This is why I don't buy new cars ever, because they lose value quickly.

[jacekp]

a bargain fitted with the last good sounding v8 from amg <3 of course it's worth it
