Used Mercedes-AMG Frequently Asked Questions
Are used Mercedes-AMG models expensive to maintain?
While parts and servicing for a premium vehicle like a Mercedes-AMG can be higher than for mainstream brands, choosing a vehicle with a full service history helps to manage costs. Our approved used programme ensures each car is in optimal condition, and we offer service plans to help you budget for future maintenance, making ownership more predictable.
Which used Mercedes-AMG is best to buy second hand?
The 'best' model truly depends on your priorities. For a fantastic blend of raw power and everyday usability, a used Mercedes-AMG C63 is a popular choice. If you're looking for a more compact, agile hot-hatch, the A45 AMG is a thrilling option. For those seeking the ultimate sports car experience, an approved used Mercedes-AMG GT is a compelling choice that offers incredible performance and head-turning style.
What is the difference between an AMG Line model and a full AMG model?
AMG Line is a popular cosmetic trim level on standard Mercedes-Benz cars. It adds the sporty looks of an AMG, such as sculpted bumpers and larger wheels, but with a standard engine. A full AMG model (like a C 63) is a complete high-performance vehicle with a bespoke, hand-built AMG engine and chassis.
What is the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT system?
This system is the heart of the car's versatility. It allows the driver to choose between various modes, such as 'Comfort', 'Sport', 'Sport+', and 'Race'. Each mode adjusts the engine response, gearbox logic, suspension firmness, and exhaust sound, transforming the car from a comfortable daily driver to a track-ready performance machine at the flick of a switch.
Which is the better entry point to AMG, a used A 35 or A 45?
The A 35 is a fantastic and accessible entry into AMG ownership, offering rapid performance and all-wheel drive security in a practical hatchback. The A 45 is a significant step up, a true 'hyper hatch' with a more powerful, hand-built engine and a more aggressive chassis, offering a level of performance that can challenge genuine supercars.
Is the AMG Performance Exhaust a desirable option?
For any enthusiast, it is an essential feature. The standard exhaust on an AMG is already impressive, but the optional Performance Exhaust includes controllable valves. This allows you to press a button to open the valves and unleash the full, unfiltered and dramatic sound of the AMG engine, providing a huge amount of driver enjoyment.
What should I look for when buying a second hand Mercedes-AMG?
Always look for a full and comprehensive service history, ideally from a Mercedes-Benz specialist. Check for any signs of neglect and be aware of common issues for the specific model year you are considering.
Can I part-exchange my current car for a used Mercedes-AMG?
Of course. We offer fair and transparent part-exchange valuations to make upgrading to a high-performance used Mercedes-AMG as simple and affordable as possible.
What does "One Man, One Engine" mean?
This is the founding philosophy of AMG. Every single engine for a 'full' AMG model is hand-assembled from start to finish by one master technician. That technician then signs a plaque that is placed on top of the completed engine, signifying their personal commitment to the quality and performance of that specific powerplant.
The Best Used Mercedes-AMG For...

- For the style-conscious commuter: For those who value striking design alongside performance, a used Mercedes-AMG CLA45 or A45 offers a blend of aggressive styling and impressive power.
