CarHub · Mercedes-Benz
The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe (factory code X290) is one of the most complete performance saloons AMG has ever built, and the North American used market is now large enough to make importing one a genuine option for European buyers.
Model profile
The four-door GT arrived for the 2019 model year, sharing the MRA rear-drive architecture with the E-Class and CLS rather than the two-seat sports car it is named after. Despite the shared platform, AMG gave the car a bespoke wide body, a fastback silhouette and its own suspension tuning.
Powertrain and equipment
The six-cylinder cars use the M256 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six with a 48-volt EQ Boost integrated starter-generator. The GT 43 produces roughly 362 hp, while the GT 53 lifts that to about 429 hp with a stronger electric assist.
The GT 4-Door is offered only as a four-door fastback; there is no estate or two-door in this family.
Vehicle selection
Availability is healthiest for 2019–2022 cars.
This is the car for a driver who wants a usable four-seat everyday saloon that still delivers proper AMG performance, and who values finding a specific colour-and-spec combination that is hard to locate in Europe.

Pre-purchase review
The M177 V8 is fundamentally robust, but it is an expensive engine to service and neglected examples can develop oil leaks and worn turbo hardware over time. On the six-cylinder cars, the 48-volt mild-hybrid system and its electrical components are worth checking, as fault codes here can be costly.
Germany and Europe
US cars run amber front turn signals, DOT-approved headlights and a speedometer that reads primarily in mph, and they lack a rear fog lamp — all items the German TÜV will expect to be addressed.
Typical work for approval includes converting the headlights to ECE specification, adding a rear fog lamp, adjusting or confirming the speedometer, and documenting the odometer reading in kilometres or with a conversion note.
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
Yes. It is a standard used-car import; we handle sourcing, freight, customs and the TÜV individual approval.
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.
The GT 53 is the most common; V8 GT 63 and GT 63 S cars are rarer and sell faster.
Air suspension wear, the 48-volt system on six-cylinders, and expensive routine servicing on the V8. Full history is essential.
Mainly lighting: ECE headlights, a rear fog lamp, and speedometer/odometer documentation.
Typically several weeks, driven mainly by ocean freight scheduling and port clearance.
Available VIN, title and history information can be reviewed in the vehicle profile. USCar Trader can also arrange a separately booked on-site inspection within a scope agreed in advance.
