USCar Trader import service
Choose a specific vehicle. Where data is available, its detail page shows the import cost calculation. We assess any possible duty benefit with you before purchase.
Important: A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact us before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support through the process. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

The AMG GT is Affalterbach's front-mid-engine V8 sports car, and the American market is a rich hunting ground for it: strong demand meant high sales, so used examples across the range turn up regularly and often in vivid colour and option combinations.
Model profile
The first-generation AMG GT (C190, 2015-2021) is the two-seat coupe and roadster that replaced the SLS. It arrived as the GT and GT S, then expanded with the track-focused GT R (2017), the road-and-track GT C, the GT R Pro and the extreme Black Series (2020). A four-door "GT 4-Door Coupe" shares the name but is a different car sold separately.
Powertrain and equipment
The C190 is defined by the hand-assembled 4.0-litre M178 twin-turbo V8, mounted low and far back with a dry-sump system.
US buyers chose between coupe and roadster bodies and a clear performance ladder: GT, GT S, GT C, GT R and the halo Black Series.
Vehicle selection
The US bought these cars in numbers, so GT S and GT C coupes appear regularly, and GT R and roadster variants surface more often than on the German market. Many are low-mileage weekend cars with full history; some track-used examples exist, which a service record and inspection will reveal. Southern and western cars avoid road salt entirely.

Pre-purchase review
The M178 V8 is robust and hand-built, and the AMG GT is generally dependable for a car of this performance, but there are points to check. The seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle is strong yet expensive if neglected, so confirm the transmission fluid service history and feel for clean low-speed engagement.
Germany and Europe
US cars run amber rear indicators, usually lack the separate rear fog lamp Germany requires, and use US-spec headlights. The cluster reads in mph and DAB is typically absent.
Typical pre-approval work: fit a rear fog lamp and adapt rear lighting, correct or replace headlights for the German beam pattern, and document the odometer in kilometres.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Any road-legal variant, from GT and GT S to GT C, GT R and roadster, can be imported as a used car.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case.

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
We recommend an enclosed container for the AMG GT to protect the paint and low bodywork in transit.
Often yes, because US sales volume makes these variants more available than on the German used market.
It is strong but costly if neglected, so we prioritise the fluid service history and a careful test of low-speed shifts.
Yes, the US cluster remains; the reading is documented and a kilometre display arranged where required.
Yes. We review the VIN and a USCar Trader vehicle profile and optional CARFAX report and can arrange a specialist inspection, with funds held in escrow.
