Hi Guys

Had my G for a while and thinking of upgrading.
Im not really sure what to ask for it as there seems to be a big range of prices out there, any advice would be appreciated.

Heres the spec: 1992 463 300 GDS SWB
Red with Immaculate grey interior,
9 months MOT, 5 months tax
104K genuine miles,
Spare Keys, Original tool box and first aid kit present.

It is totally original, never been welded or painted (always garaged). Was orginally sold by a local mercedes dealer to me here in northern Ireland and has only had 2 owners from new.
 
Its currently getting detailed so will get a few pics up asap. Looks exactly like pic attached.

Thanks in advance!!

A Sunroof?
Any Heated seats?

And exterior paintwork - scratches/dents.

Colour coded bumpers/mirrors or standard?
Diff locks engage?

Exterior paint in excellent condition, no dents or scrapes, few stone chips.
Totally original with no colour coding, looks exact same as pic in first post.
Diff locks are fine.

This is me, it sounds original - A Good point.

A firm £12500 lowest. You should aim to put it on the AutoTrader for £14500 then gradually come down.

Good selling points can be non-rust and Good ammount of Service history.

What do you think?

Re: Thinking of selling my G! Whats it worth?

Seems a bit high to me (but I am NO expert on pricing).
I was thinking £9,995 - £11k

But there is a 1993 on GWOA for £8995 here: http://www.gwoa.co.uk/content/1993-l-mercedes-300-ges-manual

OK, its petrol compared to diesel, but otherwise seems broadly comparable? (given the absence of photos for both)

Re: Thinking of selling my G! Whats it worth?

Me too no Expert but the one on your link has part service history!
Maybe for that price it might not be hpi - Clear?

Who knows condition, miles, history would have to be verified pysically I think.

But if he asks for £9k then for sure some guy will want to offer him only £6-£7k.

Re: Thinking of selling my G! Whats it worth?

 In todays market you need to be asking at least  £2k more than you want for it and be prepared to put up with some very very low opening offers.

I think for a fairly basic spec  early model 463 without a MB service history but with reasonable mileage and in good overall condition then £10k is probably as good as it gets. With winter coming up the price of used 4x4s always climb a bit so now is probably the best time to sell.

 Hi Hus

There's a couple more pictures below - I have given up trying to add them to the advert as I don't seem able to crack the technology!
I don't have an interior picture but it's in good condition - grey cloth, drivers seat not worn away like so many I've seen!

Cheers

Steve
