Does anyone have a G-wagon?
Would love to hear your thoughts from an ownership perspective. I'm thinking about buying one...

We have an '04 G55. Only mods are NC forged 23" wheels. Ride is a bit stiff. Power is adequate. We have had no mechanical problems. 17k miles. Will likely buy another '05 or newer soon.

Best of luck,

Ben

have a heavily modified GCabriolet and briefly owned a Brabus 2005 G55k. You might also want to check out pointedthree.com. Lots of the BW guys migrated over to there. What else would you like to know?

Actually, the Scion looks like a G....what came first, the apple or the computer

Those Lambo LM's are awesome, you NEVER see them around!!!!

You can find G wagons around at a fairly good price too in the pre-owned market. I was looking at an '03 with about 35K miles for around 45K.
