Re: Actively Seeking G..... What do you think of this one?

Okay so I'm going to try my luck and seek out a German LHD 270CDI

Can anyone recommend a thread that provides a comprehensive guide to the do's and don'ts of exporting from Germany.

Can anyone recommend a reputable German dealership who have had previous experience in sourcing G Wagons to the United Kingdom.

And with regards to insurance brokers... who would make it onto our top five list?

All help is greatly appreciated,

All the best,

Miker

WOW Nice! :shock: But 40K Euroe - bearing in mind the pound is taking a bit of a tumble - for that money you could get a nice G500! 8)

Spider1V - come to the dark side! :twisted:

Has to be a G270CDI for the fuel economy....

Has anyone here bought through this dealership in Hamburg?

Haven't bought anything from there before... but I have visited this particular dealership.

In fact, I am going into town tomorrow afternoon... would you like me to have a look at it for you?

Please do lphong... It would be great to know your opinion!

I would also be interested to know as to how one goes about doing a backgound check on a German vehicle.

As always your input is most welcome!

All the best,

Miker

I hope to get an uncomfortable, hard, over expensive professional :oops: :oops: :oops:

I am even contemplating to sell ALL my other toys for this.
It's not a rational thing...I just want one really bad, and travel the world with it...

Completely rational, I think. Well at least I understamd :wink:
I'm sure a few quid spent on some after market sound proofing, a few sleeping bags chucked in the back, and it will quieter the a 463.

Miker, just seen that G you were thinking about... it's in very good condition as expected; however i really don't think it worths the asking price. I will upload some photos later.

Command is an expensive option but I am surprised that for that much money it doesn't have it.

There is a company called Dekra which will do remote checks on vehicles for you if you are buying sight unseen.

Good condition? The underneath of my G looks far less used than that one!
