Picked up a G-Wagon!

Long time lurker, new poster. Wanted to share my new addition. Very happy with my purchase. Coming from a 350Z, this is quite the change. I must admit, being 6'5" I'd almost forgot what it's like to have room to stretch out in a vehicle. Love the color, as it's one of the more rare shades of blue. A hint of purple in the sunlight, blue in moderate to dim light. Black at night. A chameleon if I ever saw one.

2004 Mercedes G500
2009+ Fog and tail lamps
Mansory Headlamps






Potential upgrades:

Bull/Brush Guard
2011+ rear spare tire badge (Raised Mercedes Tri-Star, without wording)
20" OEM wheels

Nice G! I've been trying to find a 2013 in that color and it's impossible. It's my favorite color. Sadly most G's are black. I think every car has a color that compliments it best and the lunar blue is a great fit for the G.

Great description... I came out of a G37S I feel ya. I'm 6'2.5" and I agree on the room. I describe it as finally being able to drink a bottle of water instead of looking like a monkey bending my neck down $ sticking out my jaw.

I love that navy color, it was in the top 3... yet I'd drop the PUR plate in the front, since your state doesn't require a front plate it detracts from the beauty of the vehicle. Just my 2 bits. Toddles.

How was your business with these guys?

I looked at buy a G from them too, but found out they buy a lot of wrecked G's and put the Chinese body kits from alibaba on them and do a lot of mix and match parts.

If you look out back of their shop you'll see a grave yard of Gs they use for parts.

Might not be anything. Might do great work. Just seemed shady to me.

You truck looks great and I hope its a great buy for you. My encourage me to go back to them since they always have a lot of Gs for sale.

So feed back would be great. thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. I completely understand where you're coming from. Before pulling the trigger, I did a ton of research. Nothing negative. Haven't had any issues with them. Any concerns I've had were addressed quickly and professionally. Give them a shot...
