The G-Class has been sold in the US since 2002, and the big change came with the redesigned truck for 2019. Buyers price the two generations separately, then by version: a G 550, an AMG G 63, the electric G 580 or one of the limited models. The first job in selling one is making sure every offer is for your exact truck.
Depreciation is gentle in the early years and steeper later. iSeeCars says a new G-Class loses 14% after 3 years, 31.7% after 5 and 71.2% after 10; you can estimate yours with our depreciation calculator. For the AMG GT, SLS and other models, and the full comparison of ways to sell, see the main Mercedes-AMG guide.

Which G-Class do you have?
G 500 and G 55 AMG
The early US trucks, with the G 55 AMG as the performance version. Clean, documented examples now sell to enthusiasts who want the older design.
G 550 and G 63 AMG (earlier generation)
2009–2018The last of the original body, with the G 63 AMG joining the range for 2013. Condition, service history and mileage drive value more than options.
G 550 4x4²
2017–2018A raised, portal-axle version of the G 550 with a much wider stance. It sells to its own group of collectors, often at auction.
G 550 (current generation)
2019–presentThe redesigned truck, wider and roomier with a new interior. For 2025 the G 550 moved from a V8 to a six-cylinder mild hybrid, and some buyers look specifically for one or the other.
AMG G 63 (current generation)
2019–presentThe most in-demand G-Class, with a twin-turbo V8 and the most buyers on the used market. Packages, paint and interior move its price more than on any other version.
G 580 with EQ Technology
2025–presentThe electric G-Class, with a motor at each wheel. It is new to the used market, so offers can vary widely while buyers settle on values.
What G-Class buyers check first
- GenerationA 2019-on truck and a pre-2019 truck look similar at a glance but sell to different buyers. Make sure every offer is pricing the right generation and model year.
- AMG Night Package and appearance optionsBlacked-out exterior trim, darker wheels, carbon trim and larger wheels are popular on the G 63 and often help resale.
- Manufaktur paint and interiorSpecial colors and manufaktur interiors set a truck apart. Matte paints draw buyers but cannot be polished like gloss paint, so buyers check them closely for marks and repairs.
- Mileage and serviceMany G-Classes are daily drivers. Lower miles help, but Mercedes dealer service records matter just as much.
- Warranty and CPO eligibilityA truck still under factory warranty, or young enough for Mercedes certified pre-owned, appeals to dealers and to buyers who want coverage.
Where to sell a G-Class
Recent G 63, G 550 and G 580 trucks (2019 on)
Specialist exotic and luxury buyers with nationwide enclosed pickup, or a Mercedes dealer trade-in. Get both, since a heavily optioned G 63 is sometimes priced like a base truck.
Earlier trucks (2002–2018)
Specialist buyers or a Mercedes dealer for clean, documented trucks. Condition matters more than options here, and our guide to G-Wagon depreciation shows how values change with age.
G 55 AMG, G 550 4x4² and other limited models
Enthusiast auctions such as Bring a Trailer and Cars & Bids, where collectors bid on rare versions with good histories.

Common questions
How much does a G-Class depreciate?
iSeeCars says a new G-Class loses 14% after 3 years, 31.7% after 5 and 71.2% after 10. Our G-Wagon depreciation guide compares that with real market prices, and the depreciation calculator can estimate yours.
How much is my G-Wagon worth?
It depends on generation, version, miles and options. Our guide to how much a G-Wagon costs covers new prices and what five-year-old trucks sell for.
Is a G 63 worth much more than a G 550?
Usually, yes. The G 63 costs more new and has more buyers on the used market, so make sure each offer is for your exact version.
Will a Mercedes dealer give me a fair trade-in?
Often for a recent truck, since dealers have steady demand for the G-Class. Get a specialist offer as well, especially for a heavily optioned G 63 or a limited model.
