Description:

For sale is my beloved 2002 Mercedes G500 with 121,071 miles (as of 15 February, expect it to fluctuate a little as people test drive it). Purchased from Mercedes Benz of Wesley Chapel in May 2016 with 102K miles on it. Truck has been well loved, well cared for (Mercedes VIM from when I purchased it, as well as full stack of maintenance/mod receipts and records will come with the truck), and is only being sold in order to consolidate my small collection a bit. Clean Florida title in hand. Two "accidents" reported--Truck had its hood keyed August of 2019 and was repaired (full blend on the front end, trim replacement) by Imperiale Collision here in Houston. Sunroof drains leaked during Harvey and stained the headliner (leak/seepage was minor, so was contained to the headliner) so the entire headliner was redone in suede and sunroof repaired/resealed with new gaskets. Photos of both incidents are in the Google Drive file below for reference and I'll include the insurance paperwork for validation for the final buyer.



Truck has been lifted approx. 4.5" (with a slew of associated modifications, see list below), with a majority of the work being done by fabricators Brave Motorsports here in Houston. It currently is running BFGoodrich KO2 35X12.5s and has a spare tire delete. With the lift and 35s, it sits about 1-2" shorter than a G550 4x4 Squared. Will come with the factory spare cover, mount, spare 18" OEM wheel with 33" General Grabber AT2 on it. Also includes the 4 OEM 18" ashtarok wheels, no tires, and a few other original bits. Ridiculous sounding stereo with great fidelity at all volume levels. Has a Eurocharged tune on it (+20hp and +30 ft lbs of tq) and partial muffler delete (still has one, but a great sound now). Drives amazingly.



It is great shape cosmetically, but does have some chips/scratches from use, and the driver's side rear bumper corner cover met a trail marker at one point. I have a large number of high-res, detailed photos of everything in this Google Drive folder:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Qr...TJpql_e2DAfFkm

The photos are all from 2/15/2020. Happy to answer any questions or take more photos as needed.

Would be keeping it if I could, but trying to downsize to 3 cars from 4 (wife demands a driveway spot! ) which means consolidating my daily driver and my truck/SUV/Tow Rig into one...so looking at a Discovery 5 Diesel. Going to seriously miss this thing though.
