Mercedes G Wagon

Always wanted one of these but the engines sizes coupled with the low economy always went against me buying one.

Looking thru carzone you can pick up an 83 for for about 4,800

Anyone know why they are so expensive ?.....same range as say 2004 Merc c180k coupes or 2004 BMW 3 series....

The G Wagons are as rare as hens teeth. Not sure I've seen more than a handful in my life in Ireland.

London has a lot alright, mostly with enthusiasts, who wouldn't part withh them.
They have a great rep in the UK as being a seriously cool car, and you could argue they were the original Chelsea tractor.

I agree with you on the price though. Its Porsche 911 money for what is essentially a Merc military jeep

Would still love to have one though.

check out autotrader.co.uk. Lots of choice. Dont bother looking in ireland.

Or don't bother looking at all. When I was in the army everybody was chuffed that the crap Landrovers that broke down every 3.9 seconds were being replaced by reliable yokes. Reliable yokes that were incompetent in the rough. Say no more...

How many owners will really be driving them in the rough though?
