Looking for a G500...
I have been shopping for a G500....probably an '02 or '03....does anyone have any experience with these. Are they reliable? Easy to live with? Practicle? Or is it just a fashion statement?
Thanks for the help...

what exactly do you want?
If you are all about style, then you should get a 2003+ model. The early 2002's have some famous issues. THere are a few lemons out there.
If your all about reliability, then look for a 2000 model year. They have the old style interior and therefore about 1000 feet less wire and electronics in them.

Good Luck with your decision!

Thanks for the heads up. He's also considering the LX470. I don't find the G to be about status. I would rather get an S-Class. BTW, nice garage!
