amg463 Veteran Date registered: Apr 2013 Location: Los Angeles, CA Vehicle(s): 1994 G300 Posts: 217 | For Sale: 1994 SWB G300 RHD Feel torn about this, but I've put way over my budget into this and am short on cash, so am testing the waters with selling my recently acquired W463. You guys know a lot more than me about these vehicles and whether it is able to be imported into the US easily is a matter you will have to investigate yourself. G is currently located in Los Angeles, where these photos were taken earlier today. I am asking $19k. The following was written for the Craigslist crowd so please ignore the obvious. This car was imported by me personally into Vancouver, Canada and inspected/registered/insured earlier this month. It has travelled 130,XXXkm during the past 19 years. That equates to just under 81,000 miles. It has never been in an accident, minor or major. A paint meter will confirm this. This is not a G55, not even a G500. It is a W463 but shares only the excellent build quality with the more familiar, luxuriously appointed new G's. As you can see in the photos it does have some wood trim, but is a bit more utilitarian with the rubber accessories (door handles, shift knob) and the cool cloth interior. During the past few weeks I have been getting it back into tip top shape before and after my drive down to LA (ran beautifully). It was also wired for parking lights to pass the inspection (red on rear quarter panel, amber up front), but they have been tucked nicely behind the bumpers. Daytime running lights are still functional. Here's a list of recent (past 3 weeks') work: New OEM brake pads New OEM turning lights New Nissens radiator (oil cooler was broken in last one) New coolant reservoir (old one was leaking) All fluids have been flushed and filled: Synthetic oil ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) Transfer Case Front and Rear Differentials Ball joints and propeller shaft greased The service history is not complete but there is a booklet in Japanese with some of the previous maintenance work done. Nothing stood out as major. What it needs to be perfect: Small ding on passenger side Larger ding and paint chip on front of roof Passenger window regulator (goes up and down at half speed, still functional) What you could do if you felt like it: Replace rotors Recharge A/C (Though it still blows cold, could be ice cold) Replace tires (some cracks, about 3/8 inch left of tread) EDIT: Realize I left out a shot of the engine bay, will take one tomorrow and add below.

amg463 Veteran Date registered: Apr 2013 Location: Los Angeles, CA Vehicle(s): 1994 G300 Posts: 217 | Re: For Sale: 1994 SWB G300 RHD Yes, if this was eligible and easy to transfer to use with US plates I would have sold it a few hours after putting it on craigslist. Had half a dozen buyers ready, but the cost of federalization turned them off (probably the not-knowing exact figures and guesstimate at 10-15K to federalize didn't help either). Best if you have a canadian address that you can use to register it. Then drive it wherever you like! | ||
