1986 Mercedes Benz G Wagon
VIN: 46023827037063 eBay.com does not recognize UK VIN.
2.3L 4 Cylinder Engine with 5 speed gearbox
79k miles
Red/black
We absolutely love this vehicle. It was collected from Brunswick, GA and driven the 300 miles back to our showroom in Kissimmee, FL (the back roads!).
This G Wagon is an absolutely superb drive, customs commented that it was one of the few vehicles that they never had to jump start once after coming over on a boat for two weeks with no gas and a disconnected battery, it starts first time, every time.
The drive is great, very responsive steering and surprisingly light to steer. Gear changes are smooth and feel tight. The visibility is excellent due to the huge rear windows. The 2.3 gas engine never feels underpowered and zips along nicely at a cruising speed of around 70-75 mph.
This G Wagon is a real head turner. It has spent 4 hours in our workshop being valeted and looks stunning. A brilliant red combined with black arches and trims really pop.
We would say that this is an entry level vehicle, for someone who loves and appreciates the G Wagon and wants something special. I have personally driven the vehicle and find the drive excellent, my wife drove it for 5 hours back from Brunswick and didn’t want to get out at the other end. It is the kind of vehicle that you quickly grow attached to and will want to tinker with it.
The reason we call this an entry level vehicle is that there are minor things that an enthusiast would possibly want to consider, although it is stunning as it is. There are some cosmetic jobs that could be done which would only improve the vehicle. There are areas where the paint is flaking, not through rust, just old paint. If this G Wagon was to be resprayed it would soon look like the $50,000 plus vehicles you see up for sale. The interior is in great condition, the only flaw is the tear in the drivers seat, the kind that comes from climbing up into the vehicle and squashing down the edge of the seat, this has been stitched and repaired as you can see in the photo, but would benefit from being removed and repaired.
The best thing is that the bones of this G Wagon are superb, the chassis and engine are in excellent condition as is the running gear. We do not import any vehicles that do not pass our stringent tests in the UK and that have not been ‘pre loved’ by their owners. We ensure that all of our vehicles have great bones, cosmetics can be done to taste, but you have a superb foundation.
If this vehicle captures your attention as it did ours when we saw it for sale by an elderly gentleman owner in the UK, then please get in touch asap using our contact form or alternatively give us a call.
As vehicle is advertised elsewhere I reserve the right to end auction early/cancel. Please remember this is a classic vehicle...you are not bidding to buy a new Kia with a 100,000 mile warranty.

2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.
