Clean, Lots of Recent Maintenance, Trades Considered

Summary: 2002 Mercedes G500, DCYR49E82X133723, 01,113 miles, verest Green Metallic over black, oaded as you would expect, lean inside and out, ots of recent maintenance and repair work. Trades considered for interesting cars, articularly Porsches or a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
I purchased this G-Wagen because I have always wanted one, nd have done a substantial amount of work to it. At the moment it is a clean driver quality SUV that could be driven anywhere. The remaining issues are small, ut I simply do not have the time between my professional life, amily life, nd other projects to finish it. I would much rather pass it along at a very good price to someone who will finish the little things and enjoy it. If it does not sell within a few weeks I will find time to fix the little issues and increase the price accordingly.

Known Issues Remaining:Rust in the passenger side B-pillar base, o penetration as of yet, urrently touched up and fairly subtle. Immediate repair would not be required, ery few people would even notice it.Left rear window regulator – already have a new regulator, ust needs installedDoor lock actuators – right front and rear cargo door – these doors can be locked manually for nowFront left side marker LED is not workingLeft rear interior door handle is broken, utside handle still works
Exterior: Overall this is a very good looking G-Wagen. The paint has a great shine with minor swirling and the usual rock chips up front, irrors, nd windshield. I believe the paint to be original as there are no obvious signs of paintwork like mask lines and the factory stickers inside the jambs are intact. Other than the rust noted there is no other rust, nd the underside is dry as well. Wheels are in great shape with only minor chips and scratches, nd brand new tires. There are a few areas where the rubber side molding has pulled away slightly from the body, his is common on the G-Wagen and easily replaced if desired. Overall it is a very nice looking SUV that shows signs of being driven, ut not abused. It definitely gets noticed when driving down the road, ore so than just about anything else I have owned.
Interior: Again, lean overall. The leather is soft and supple, ecently treated with Leatherique. No tears or other damage to the leather. There are small areas of wear throughout but overall it is much nicer than an average 100k vehicle. Floor mats show minor wear and fading but are clean overall, arpets underneath are very nice. Except for the items noted in the issues section above, verything works correctly.
Mechanical: As I mentioned previously, his is a really great driver quality G-Wagen. With the substantial amount of time and money that I have invested in maintenance and repairs it is ready to be enjoyed. The engine starts easily without smoke and runs smoothly, he transmission shifts perfectly without any driveline clunks or lash, he suspension is tight and rides well, rakes are strong without any vibration or noise, nd the steering tracks straight without any pulling, ibration, r looseness. It has not leaked one drop on my garage floor. The transfer case shifts from high to low as it should without hanging up as sometimes happens with these. It can easily be used as a daily driver while the small issues noted above are sorted out. The driving experience is fantastic, t is smooth, table, nd surprisingly powerful, very nice SUV to drive. Needless to say it is unstoppable in snow, nd while I have not tried it off road the G-Wagen is legendary for its capability. Overall it is a very cool old-school SUV that can be driven without any compromises.
I purchased this G500 because I had always admired them, nd have definitely enjoyed driving it during my ownership. I hope to pass it along at a great price to someone that will sort the remaining issues and enjoy it for many years to come. I have tried my best to provide full disclosure in my ad, lease let me know if you have any questions. Upon request I have almost 100 high resolution photos that can be provided via email. Title is clean, lear, nd in hand.
