Vehicle description

You just want to get out, somewhere? With a G-Class, you are well served without having to do without much. The G-Class is a model from the Mercedes forge that enjoys its own status. No other model has been produced with the same body for longer than the G-Class. The G-Class was manufactured in Graz and has hardly changed visually in the last 40 years. Once intended as a military vehicle, it gradually became more comfortable and high-class, so that today it is used more as a luxury means of transport.

In this auction, one of these great G-Classes is now for sale. The G230 from the year of construction 1989 was registered for the first time in September of the same year and since then, according to the knowledge of the owner, very likely had 3 holders. The G-Class has a FIN that reads: WDB46023817065538. The vehicle is a German vehicle and was originally registered in Uelzen for the first time, after which he was on the road in Newark and Ohio before coming back to Germany. There is still a set of keys and there is a valid TÜV, as well as the H-approval. There is also a history for checking the mileage and other invoices. The vehicle has matching umber and also has a valid report. The vehicle was imported from the USA by the current owner in 2019. As a result, the necessary repairs and repair work were carried out, so that an H-license plate acceptance could be carried out without any problems.

The robust off-road vehicle presents itself in silver metallic, which looks rather gray or rather silver depending on the sunlight and angle. According to the owner, the G-Class has not been repainted and is externally in a very good condition. Only at the driver's door there is a small wear and tear, which is rather a cosmetic defect. For more details, please refer to the gallery, where you will find more detailed images of the paint image and condition. The plastic parts even look as good as new and stand out due to the strong black. Nothing is faded or otherwise damaged here. There are some smaller paint scrapers in the rear, upper roof area.

If you look at the side of the G-Class, you can see the original standard rims mounted on the large tires. The tyres are as good as new, so that the vehicle is immediately ready for use. Whether like here in the Lüneburg Heath, or on a safari in Kenya. Get in, drive off, enjoy. The necessary deceleration is ensured by the brakes, which are also as good as new. Another extra is the front protection bar.

If you look into the interior, you immediately notice the extremely well-kept, general condition. The checkered seats are not sat through and overall there are only slight signs of wear. Since this is the 10th anniversary of the special edition, in which there is a badge in the area of the gearshift backdrop, the G-Class has a few optional extras. The wooden dashboard and also the Mercedes star on the hood are two features of this edition. There is also servo, central locking, electric windows, heated seats and of course a radio. The radio is of course original and is a blaupunkt with cassette.

The instrument panel is tidy and clearly arranged. The instruments, which originally came from the truck department, all work flawlessly and fulfill their function. 58,474 kilometers are read, which seem quite credible. In addition, there is a history of this G-Class.

Under the hood of this great G-Class hides a 125 hp engine that brings its power to the road through an automatic transmission. The engine was last serviced in 12/2020 and runs without problems. There is no maintenance backlog and the vehicle has always been maintained by the current owner. Recently, the following things have been done: shock absorbers, struts + 1 mount have been renewed, lambda sensor, bellows, brakes front + rear, wheel bearings + bushings and cuffs, new tires, steering dampers, steering lock + locking cylinder, battery, 1 x since trim.

The subfloor is in very good condition, please take a look at the other pictures. Overall, you have the opportunity to buy an absolutely great G-Class, in very nice condition. The car comes from a collector and has always been cared for and maintained. In our opinion, this G-Class is the right car for all those who want to experience the reliability and robustness of a G-Class and on the other hand appreciate the old, uncomplicated, purist.
