Any thoughts on this one?
How many miles? And FMBSH ??
Dave
Yup, price is high, 
mind you do you know what the mileage is? I would also say that the exhaust is NOT a factory fit. The side pipes were done on the AMG's, so the exhaust has been replaced/changed. The front Grill is also new. What else has been done? If the FMSH is logged and the changes are cosmetic, with the Aircon, nice SWB maybe the price could be OK???
Let is know how you get on

Dave
FSH yes but FMBSH? I wouldn't take my G anywhere near a main dealer. Specialist every time.
Not sure 5K would buy much in certain parts of parts of Berkshire: "..at G-Wagen Garage in Berkshire" Not in my experience anyway.
I would definitely get it very very thoroughly checked out. If the opinion about it's "rarity" and "condition" comes from where I think it does, I'd take a bag of salt with me.
But hey ho, who knows, it might just be a cracker.
What is a..... FACTORY FITTED HYDRAULIC JACK (Value £1000) ?

It's a guy called Jack who consumes a lot of fluids and was worked in the factory.....
Thank you to Joe and Ian for those well researched and enlightening replies .
I have a few MB hydraulic jacks kicking around the garage somewhere which I would be happy to take only £500 each for 
.
Just very happy to know that the item sitting underneath my drivers seat is so valuable.
Do you think I should disclose this to my insurance company?

Here it is, a genuine two owner Mercedes Benz factory fitted hydraulic jack valued at £1000.
Yours for only £499.98.
I am also willing to include a genuine factory fitted tool roll for an extra £500. They are currently valued a double this price, it's true because it says so on the internet .
Hmmmm - but what's the postage?

Collection only, in a car park, at night. Bring cash.
But on a more serious note - has anyone actually used one of those jacks to lift their G Wagon on anything other than pristine and level tarmac?
I've always been far too nervous to try and have resorted to trundling my trolley jack out of the barn when any heavy lifting necessary.

Mark I have used mine on my 460 swb 1989, and it works perfectly fine, but that was on 'okay' tarmac, also had a long pole for extra leverage .
The point is that a G Wagen can take many years of neglect and poor maintenance, before problems begin to surface and things start to go wrong. It's then expensive to repair. It's a tough vehicle, but it does require regular maintenance to keep it in good shape, but you can buy one and run it for a number of years wit little or no maintenance before passing on to the next unsuspecting owner.

My first trip as a GWOA member, with the family, was up in Dent we had pull up by a lake and I had my baptism of fire changing a G Wagen wheel on the lake shore. I can safely say that so long as there is a sturdy platform, in this case was a large flat stone, I was shocked that this tiny, little thing could heft up the G! Since that day I have changed tyres on a G twice. BAck hates me and I will never be as quick as those formula one guys!
