If you’ve got high-end sports car dreams but premium hot hatch money, you may want to take a trip to the UK. There, you’ll find what’s likely the cheapest Mercedes-AMG GT currently on the market, offered for about the same price as a new 2025 Honda Civic Type R.
First spotted in a tweet by @WallacePJW, there’s a 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT coupe listed for sale on AutoTrader in the town of Spalding at a dealer called Walkers Automotive. It currently has 98,000 miles, so it certainly has been driven, but otherwise it looks to be in great condition.
The seller’s description of the car says they sold it to a friend seven years ago and that friend recently sold it back to them, meaning it’s had just two owners. There’s also an extensive service history, so despite the miles that twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 and seven-speed automatic transmission have been taken care of. The best part about this GT is that because of those miles, it’s cheap as hell for what it is. The dealer is asking just £36,995, which comes out to $47,106 at current exchange rates. That price is nuts for a couple reasons.
Firstly, this specific AMG GT looks to be the cheapest on the market both here in the U.S. and across the pond. Of the roughly thousand or so AMG GTs currently listed for sale between Cars.com, Autotrader and Cargurus, you can’t find an AMG GT coupe or roadster for under $50,000. If you do find one, it’s going to be the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, which is basically a completely different car.
Secondly, that price is impressive because of what you can (or can’t) get for your money elsewhere. Sure, you can find other similar performance cars somewhere for the same money, but they’ll likely have scary amounts of miles, their condition won’t be nearly as good, and you can probably forget about having an extensive service history. Anything new will have decent features but be boring, unless you start looking at hot hatchbacks like the Civic that are the same price if not more. (Yes, the 2025 Honda Civic Type R costs $46,690 before markups.)
The only real downside to this AMG GT seems to be the miles. The highest mileage AMG GTs here in the U.S. all seem to sit at the 65,000 to 75,000 mile range. One listing in Arlington, Texas comes close, but even with 78,000 miles the dealer is still asking nearly $56,000. Even with the miles this thing has, it’s a hell of a bargain for a car that’s held onto its value pretty well over the near decade its been in production. Sadly, it’ll likely be awhile before we start to see AMG GTs here in the U.S. going for under $50,000.
