Selling for no reserve... Rare opportunity to own a 1993 Mercedes Benz 500GE Euro G Wagon with 142k miles. Its as rare as they come. Sure to appreciate. Only 500 were made and these were the very first V8 G Wagons produced! It is the tried and true 463 chassis just like the current models G wagons. The Amethyst color is unique to the 500GE and only available on the 500GE limited edition. The vin is WDB46322817089712. Ebay does not recognize the Euro vin number. This is a legally imported G wagon and is currently registered and titled in California. The car has the California BAR sticker in door jam. It is required for legal smog testing. Car passes smog with no problems. Registered in California since 2005. It cost thousands of dollars to import the car to USA and a long wait time. Clearance was performed by Wallace test labs. Save your self the headache and buy one already imported and legally registered! Car has only 3 owners from new. First owner took delivery in 1993 in Germany. Car cost over 200k dm new. The exclusive 500GE was never publicly offered by Mercedes Benz in Germany but instead sold by word of mouth by Mercedes salesman. Owners of S class and G class were offered the new model coming and 500 models were sold within a year. Owners never saw a brochure or a real car before placing their order. Mercedes produced 500 cars only and that was the end of production! The 500GE was subsequently sold to 2nd owner whom purchased the car from Germany and imported here to USA. Car was legally imported and tested thru Wallace test labs in 2005. Now the car is owned locally by me in San Francisco California. Clear title in hand.
