Feeler - debating selling our G63 for an E63s wagon...

We bought it as a DD for my wife but quickly realized that the intent of it being a dog shuttler wasn't going to work - our older GSD is 120 lbs and bit stiff, and we couldn't bear to think of the new puppy chewing on the leather..... so the landcruiser has stayed as the Dogshuttle...

Love the rig, but have a friend with an E63S wagon that is considering selling it.....it works a bit better for the dogs

the G has Fox's adjustable shocks and a 40mm coil spacer to allow full travel with the 33" Toyo's. fully serviced at the local Merc dealer with 36k on her currently - we picked it up with 19k 10 months ago and did a crosscountry trip in it, hence the miles.

It's in amazing shape - no paintwork or dings ever - fully loaded including black quilted Designo interior, CF, distronic etc. The Magno paint is flawless and really easily kept up.

PM me if you might be interested.....

Also selling a matching widebodied C63 .....we can make a heck of a package deal !

haha - it's a tough call...... we have a fully built landcruiser so kind of have the off-road thing covered ( albeit down about 400 hp.....)

formally put her up for sale in the classifieds... https://mbworld.org/forums/market/784544

also selling the match widened C63 for anyone looking for a package deal !

Had a G, went with a wagon, and now I'm back to a G. Wagon - way more practical; G - way more fun.

I know - it's a tough call, if we didn't have a built up landcruiser that checked the offroad box I'd likely keep the G.....

The new one is my dream car but still £150k GBP here. Its probably spoilt the ownership of my 2016 G63 so much so that Ive placed a deposit on a 2017 GLS63 AMG instead.

The presence of a G Wagon is almost unmatched, attention like nothing else, but the sacrifice of the original is just too much, Im using it daily for longish periods at times and its becoming hard to live with for my family.

Confused - how would you place a deposit on 3 years old GLS?
