Re: g290 td on e-bay

 Notice the other g wagen in the garage...the engine bay picture the 300ges he as on eBay to...rare find, twin spares...bargain price ! ....actually if you look closer the one in the garage looks like a 12 plate pure, noT a 463 with that rear wheel cover...  Oh and the price for the white 461 is incorrect, £10,500 is for the 463 he as for sale.....trades descriptions..!

Hi All
it is a 290td
the pics are mixed up as is the cc rating the engine pic from is a 463ges he is also selling 
it has no cruise control... 5 seats ....non electric windows but does have airbag and aircon .
normally when you remove the spare wheel from the back door it is because you have difficulty hooking up a trailer...
looks tidy in the pics except for rust under the sill rubber mouldings and round the tank area
might have ABS but a bit light on options

Re: g290 td on e-bay

He is selling both the 463 and the 461 for £10500. I have a picture of the 461 that Fred took years ago. This must have come in with the firm from Guildford Auto technic along with Kermit. The owner obviously likes his Gs. This is the only rhd lwb 5 door 461  that I have ever seen for sale.
Ian why do you think the new one in the garage is not a 463?

 Found out there both for sale for £10,500 as the guy has just bought a new one for £78 k... The spare wheel cover on the new one doesn't lend itself to a 463 that's all Roly.

Re: g290 td on e-bay

 i happen to know some poor uk individual in the last year paid a g wagen (motor trader) ' purveyor over £24k for just the same type '02 290 461 lwb in white similar kilometers with wind up windows, rubber mats , aircon ,automatic, top speed about 88mph screaming (nice) ex local authority council gritter crew backup  vehicle so one careful owner...
this chaps price is going to give them a warm feeling (like they just wet themselves) 
welcome to the wonderful world of 60% depreciation in less than one year the prize for not doing your homework 'caveat emptor'
still thats the motor trade for you!
and i forgot to say it was bought as a pair so there is another one lurking waiting for an unwary punter and they were bought for £7k ish each!  a buff ,a bit of paint  paint the bumpers and the wheels , 'loads of money !!'

Re: g290 td on e-bay

the 461,thats a rare rare find ! and well worth the dosh !!!

you would never find one in  germany and fetch it over for that money....

if i was still in the uk i'd have swapped my vito for this beauty.

the 463 also looks very tidy and well kept .

SOMEONE PLEASE BUY IT AND KEEP IT IN THE GWOA....

btw, did anyone speak to the owner ?he is a true enthusiast but unaware of US !

 There are many g owners that don't feel the need to be in the Gwoa!
