Fine the Mercedes SL63/SL65 would blow the GranTurismo out of the water. And the reason why the M6s depreciate just as fast is because they have more miles on them. If you bought a new GT for say 120k and drove it 10k miles and sold it, it would probably be worth about 85-90k. If you bought a new M6 for 120 and drove it for 10k miles you'd probably get about 100-105k. Way less depreciation. And it also has to do with what year the car came out in, so if you bought the last generation m6 in late production and the newer model came out, depreciation would be boosted because the new model just came out and no one wants a lightly used previous generation when they can get a new generation for a few thousand dollars more
The Mercedes SL is a two seater and the SL65 has a base price of ~$100,000 more than the GranTurismo. I don't see how you can even compare the two. Find me a GranCabrio for the price of this .

That's a Granturismo, not a GrandCabrio.

That doesn't look like a GranCabrio.

You mean >$10,000 right
no, that means that the variable can be any number that is greater that $10,000. but the bmw 840ci is less than 10,000 which is why i put the less than sign

No thats the less than symbol. the open end always points to the larger number

Yes, but they're also 6 years old and with that have old equipment, therefore 130k is WAYYYY too much for a car like that. And it depreciates WAY fast. You can pick up a 4 year old car for $30-50k off list. For 130k theres better deals out there for the money, such as the E63 which is faster and sounds just as good AND has a V8, the BMW M6/M6 Gran Coupe which is still faster, just as fun because its RWD, but it doesnt sound as good, and thanks to these actually being cheaper, you can load them up with options and have way newer and better equipment than the GranTurismo. And both are handmade in GERMANY.
Who really cares if something else is faster. 180 mph is plenty fast for me. Anyone that chose to buy a GranTurismo could have also bought a boring M6 but they chose to have something that looks much more special and sounds much better. Pointless gadgets are just for people to have something to brag about. On paper a E92 M3 looks like a better car than the GranTurismo, has more techy junk on it, and costs half as much; but the GranTurismo is twice the car and then some! Veyrons depreciate like crazy too so does that make them not exotic? Also how on earth could someone say a E63 sounds just as good as a GT? That one just makes no sense.
I'm with Andrewo on this, my dad and I were recently at the Maserati dealership and we test drove the new Gran Turismo MC Sportline and on paper its actually slower then my 2003 M3 (0-60 4.9s for Maserati, 4.8 for M3), but never the less its still a way nicer car, it has a flawless design, a well crafted interior and a V8 that makes a noise so amazing it deserves a Grammy.
