FS: 2002 G500 w/2011 Update; 106K miles; Black/Black

Selling my 2002 Mercedes Benz G500 that has been updated with a 2009-2011 grille, Xenon headlights, LED taillights, and white side markers to look like the 2011 model. It has black leather to go with the black exterior, an iPod connector has been added, and the original 18" wheels have been powder coated black to give it a distinctive look. It has 106,000 miles on it.

This G-Wagen has been well cared for and is in excellent condition inside and out. I'm only considering selling it because my commute is going to become 75 miles a day and I don't want to put so many miles on it. As it is, I've put almost 25,000 miles on it in the last 18 months, as it has been a great daily driver for me.

As I've always intended to keep it for the long term, I've had a lot of extra work done on it, that didn't have to be done at the time, but will benefit the new owner. In the last 18 months, besides normal maintenance, I've had the following work done on it:

- Complete front end rebuild - there were some leaking seals so while they were taking it apart I had the whole front end done, spent over $2500 with independent mechanic that I've used on my Mercedes for years, would have been been over $4K at MB Dealer. Full tear down of the axles, replaced all seals/bushings, replaced complete steering linkage assembly and tie rod ends (have receipts).
- Complete tune-up including new plugs & wires and replaced all fluids and filters in the vehicle
- New pads & rotors in front & back
- New windshield - picked up a chip and hated all the fine chips on the windshield creating glare, so instead of fixing, I paid to replace it so it feels like you are looking out of a brand new vehicle
- Window Regulators - I've replaced both passenger side regulators with the newer style, stronger dual arm ones. The front driver one had been replaced as that has the new design as well.

This G runs great, looks great, and everything works on it. I listed it on CL for $33,900 for it, but especially for people from Pointed Three, I'm willing to move a little on the price to find a good home for it and not deal with Craigslist people. There's a high end European car place next to my office that I may consign it to, so if you might be interested in it, please let me know before I decide to do that. Car is located in Newport Beach, CA and Corona, CA and occasionally in between.

If you have any questions, want more details on the work done, or want higher res pictures, feel free to message me. Thanks!
