Purchase Advise-Metalic Bronze/Brown G wagon
Hi There, I am currently looking for a G-Project. I came across This Metallic Brown G with the 2.8 Petrol Auto Setup.
I have a few questions:
Is This a factory colour ?
It has a lift kit fitted (trail Master) and some off road tyres- i am not sure if this decreases the value or ads value
(i sepose depends on your needs)
from 2004 - the service histroy all points to it only doing 30 thousand miles since new (1988) which i highly doubt (probably been around the clock-130 thousand)
the current owner has started to dismantle parts and tart it up, a little some powder coating etc. I am interested in the vehicle but wondered what your advice to would be!
Any advice would be great! thanks Tom
How much is it ?
I think 6k seems to be a typical price for a 460 in mediocre condition. Have a good look at the chassis and check the suspension mounts. Also look for rust around the rear quarters, wheel arches, rear door etc.
Much of this information on what to look for is here from similar previous posts.
As you are probably aware, the mile-ometer will re-start from 0 after 99,999 miles, so higher than indicated mileage may well be likely. However, I do see a number of 280GEs advertised with fairly low mileage for their age. It might be that the 280GE has quite a thirsty engine that dissuades high mileage?
At some stage it has been in the club (see red sticker by rear view).
That one has been on ebay for ages.... about a year odd that I know of, as I bookmarked it prior to buying mine.
It has indeed been for sale for over a year, went to look at it,
Its tatty, as are the rest of the 4x4's that Motorhomes & Leisure Vehicles of Hipperholme have for sale,
As a project car - have a really good look around it before committing, possibly OK but at about a 1K miniumum less then advertised inho.
Around the 6k mark...any advice ? thanks Tom
