Once again I just want to let all interested buyers know that this is a nice G320 with lots of maintenance done prior to importing to the US. Many suspension components changed along with brakes in Georgia, ignition switch changed, ceramic coating, new windshield, and more but can’t recall everything that was done. In the US a all fluids changed, transmission serviced, AC serviced, all fluids changed, all joints and driveshafts along with front knuckles greased and serviced. Camshaft position sensor, some vacuum lines and also brake lines also changed. The car is good to go and I wouldn’t hesitate driving it across country today. Bid with confidence, I like these rigs and I’ve maintained this for my brother where it wont leave him stranded. This is a keeper because it has original paint, no rust that I can find anywhere and healthy engine and drivetrain. Triple lockers also work great. Goodluck all and happy weekend!

@Bnzowner hi, no need to replace the head gasket as there are no signs of it needing replaced. No smoke at all at any time, no oil in coolant, doesn’t burn oil and it has pretty low miles and very well maintained. This one does not have the biodegradable wiring harness issue like the US market M104 engines and wiring harness is in very good shape on this one. I’ve been working and have owned many G320’s and all other 90s model G wagens and have yet to see a bad wiring harness on these engines but there could be a bad egg in one of them but not this one. This is very well maintained and all original paint and interior with low miles.
Hi, any record of the head gasket being replaced or the engine wiring harness being replaced? The M104’s are notorious for these as well as the bloody window regulators.
Not sure how TheMBMarket works but I can’t see the videos I sent them. Here is some videos of the G. Ceramic coating in Georgia: https://youtu.be/ERvPMD1iOM4?si=k4lGyydgeknjgdpe Driving: https://youtube.com/shorts/UxcYsNbZs0U?si=9Tbn2LWF61KL7i5c Cold Start: https://youtube.com/shorts/MssOkFapkNc?si=xURwn54Y106l2ahb
@Smsarchitects Everything works as it should besides the passenger front window regulator which the part number and diagnostic attached in the receipt photo in this ad. AC blows very cold as I just checked and heat is hot. It is currently 91 degrees here and the AC is great. No other issues that I see besides the window regulator which is $100-$150 part and labor is $100ish I would say. Pretty easy job as I’ve done 2 on my G320 recently.
If anyone has any last minute questions please ask! Im close to the G wagen and can take any photos if needed. This is a keeper and is in very nice condition with no rust and no accidents. Happy bidding and wish you all a fantastic weekend. I can refer you to a few well-known and honest transport companies to help with shipping and also there is no rush for pick up as car is currently stored at my house until it gets sold. Goodluck to all!
@GClassicks : all electronics, accessories, sunroof, wipers, AC/heat, etc in working order?
@mcm1997 no rips besides the 2” rip on drivers seat shown from photos 44-46. These are OEM G500 wheels with 265/60/18 Yokohama tires.
@mcm1997: ad states “Yokohama tires measuring 265/60 at all four corners and showing 2014 date codes”
what size tires are on those wheels? Any rips / tears in the seats? The pass seat looks a little well worn

@mcm1997 absolutely, many drivetrain parts and even some electrical parts and gadgets will be the same as a US model E320, S320, SL320.
Does this era G wagon share a lot of the same parts with the sedans of the same era?

Its my brothers car but as mentioned before I already have a 1997 G320 or else I would be driving this beast myself.
@Smsarchitects hi as mentioned earlier, the headliner has some water stains on it from when it was in Georgia. It has never been cleaned so just needs cleaned. The brakes were changed in Georgia last and they brake very nice and firm. The truck is good to go and all fluids and oils are changed along with camshaft sensor, temp sensor, drive belt and AC recharged last year. The tires are actually in very good shape but they are just dirty. Original paint and it is in really nice shape with ZERO rust.
sorry, your answer crossed with my question. all electronics, accessories, sunroof, wipers, AC/heat, etc in working order? thank you!

How are the brakes and headliner? What will the truck need next work wise (other than tires)

Hello everyone and thanks for participating in my auction for this beautiful and original paint G320! This belongs to my brother who lives in Virginia as well but wanted to downsize his collection so here you have the opportunity to own this nice and well-kept G320 that is good to go! The most important and awesome thing about this G320 is there there is no rust anywhere. Starts and drives nice. I personally daily a G320 myself and I can tell you they are one of the best in the G world due to them being so easy to maintain as they share mostly same parts as the E320 sedans when it comes to engine and transmission. It currently sits at my house until it sells. I can arrange shipping anywhere in the US as I know a few reliable and honest transportation companies who are also very reasonable. Feel free to message me in private to come see this beauty or comment section if you have any questions. Thanks snd goodluck all!
