It's a nice rare find. However, my gut feeling is that they are victim of the crisis due to new release in recent years and Mercedes continue with her production every years!

I wonder if they are going to hold it's value like in the past?

Re: G500 RHD LWB AUTO with 50k

The first one is a bargain, esp at £29K. Lacking of sat nav, but a nice example. As for the second one, asking premium money, but lacks the finesse of a later 2000/2001. Is that a webasto/pre heat in the first one? Rare option if it is and handy for the winter months.

Would suggest anyone considering to get the exhausts checked by a specialist on both. The challenge with the V8 petrol G, at such low mileage will be the issues of the cat's degrading. I had this issue when I first got mine, in my case as it was used for minimal mileage it never really got up to opps temp or if it did was not there for long, soot build up and the metal getting hotter for longer cased the honeycomb in the exhaust to breakdown and cause blow back of CO2 so the max speed I could get up to was about 70 ish. All cleared once a new exhaust was installed and run 'properly'. wink But bullet proof motoring, the best matched engine for a G and if you look after it, should give you miles of smiles!  yes
