These AMG Mercs are an amazing car, fast comfortable and not to bad on fuel on a run. The reason for the depreciation is the maintenance costs. A set of front discs and pads is £1000 and if you drive one of these cars with any vigour you will be fitting a set every couple of years.
A service history is critical and main dealers will have £500 off you for an oil change, a look over and a stamp in the book.
I know someone who had one for 6 months, he loved it but reckoned the general running costs were nuts for a daily driver, for a second car with a few thousand miles a year it would be fun.
