Re: 10 a penny here....

A friend of mine was working out there last year... every morning he'd text me pictures of the carpark where he lived (which was just a "normal" rented apartment, nothing grand and nowhere "posh") there would be G63's, Brabus's or maybe just normal G's there every day... uaually 2 or 3 of them.

Re: 10 a penny here....

Hi Peter Perfect,

Could you please state prices of used G500s' over there; I am assuming these are in RHD.

Also can you gain information on what dealers teher charge to convert from LHD to RHD assuming thats the way they do it.

A member here is considering a conversion of a 2001, G500.

im not sure why you think they drive on the left here..its on the right..and I've not seen any used G's here..certainly none older than 3 years on the road...prices are quite high..even with no tax....its a lovely sound you hear with all these G63 and 65's..

And I guess a bit of sun is nice for a change. Except for the cost of getting there, a great location for G Wagon convention. From what your saying a tour of the local tesco car park could keep us occupied for hours !! smiley
