New Car - Mercedes AMG GTS

Post by dan yeates » Fri Apr 19, 2019 1:22 pm

Hi all,

I put my 981 Boxster S up for sale with a view to replacing it with a Boxster Spyder, or possibly a Ferrari California, but I ended up taking a different route!

Here's the new beast:

2016 Mercedes AMG GTS, Premium Pack, Interior Carbon Pack, Night Park, Driving Assistance Pack, etc.... fully loaded with toys.

Most definitely! An incredible car. I loved it. It's so much fun, they sound incredible, amazing handling and they look great. I'd get another one day!

They're spec dependent, they're a much better car with Sport Chrono and Sports Exhaust for example.

I'll miss that car!!

I love these. I think they're a fantastic understated car. No one really pays much attention to them, until they hear the roar :evil:

The interior is very nice also.

Thanks.

Decided to just go for it, I can always sell it if I need the money one day!! I've never been one to lose money on cars, I've always tried to keep depreciation to a minimum and upgrade at each step.

Really happy with the car, it's a monster. I can't quite believe how quick it is!! :lol:

Hoping (dreaming) my next car is one of these :rofl:

I am sure you won't mind some balance on this thread. I don't like these, they look like a BMW E89 with the hood up and I don't like the E89. Now where is that 911 brochure? Sorry if it seems harsh, but I always remember the Emperor's Coat and my wife does say that at times I am like a 12 year old boy.
