FS 2002 G500 Black/Black

I am reluctantly selling my beloved G500. Having driven it less than 3000km in the last year, I am beginning to think it is a waste to keep - it should be with someone who will use it! I am feeling the same reluctance I felt selling my old W460 300GD. Nonetheless, I am sure I will be in another one at some point in the future. Now just isn't the right time. Anyway, the details:

I have owned it for about the past 3.5 years. During this time, I have done regular maintenance/repairs.

Spring/Summer 2014:

Transfer case shift motor replaced, fuel filter replaced, belt idler pulley and tensioner, AC leak repair, changed out diff and TC fluids with Redline fluids, transmission fluid flush/fill (MB fluid) along with filter replacement, leak repairs in the engine mainly around the oil filter housing and the right side valve cover gasket, front right window regulator replaced along with the door control module, crank position sensor replacement.

December 2013 the center drive shaft was completely done with replacement of both CV joints and rebalanced.

Summer 2013 - replaced all 16 spark plugs and wires.

Spring 2012 - All fluids replaced with Redline except transmission with MB fluid. Front axle bearings and seals replaced.

There is probably a few other things I can't remember that also were done throughout my ownership. I think I have listed all the major things. Most work has done by me. My excellent independent mechanic did the stuff I didn't feel able to do or didn't have time to do.

Other than this, every 8000kms I do oil/filter changes with quality oil, air filter replacement, and tire rotation (all 5 tires), and driveshaft lube. Additionally, I have changed the transmission fluid annually with a filter change every second year with MB fluid.

It is a pretty standard 2002 G and has been very trouble-free. Aside from the maintenance listed above (most of it preventative), I have had no troubles. I know these 2002s get a bad rap but realistically, all of the initial problems with them have long been worked out. It has 186000 KMs on it. It comes with MB Atik 16" rims (5 of them) and Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires 285/75R16 (about 30000kms on them - lots of life left), I will also include the five stock 18" rims with worn tires, a Pioneer App-Radio, a Frontrunner Slimline II roof rack (includes 8 tie-downs, the under rack table mount, and a few other extras) and a G-Wagen Accessories rear ladder. I will also include a new set of still boxed Koni shock absorbers and new and uninstalled rear springs (I have not had time to install them). I can also include some 40mm poly spring lift spacers (not installed). It has a full set of Weathertech rubber floor mats and cargo area mat (3 yrs old). I still have the stock running boards that will be included as well - I will even install them if desired.

The bad: There a several rust spots. The door hinges are especially bad and almost all of the paint has peeled off the right side rear-view mirror (left is perfect). There is also an exhaust rattle at idle. I haven't had a chance to look at it and fix it yet.

Asking $30,000. I can help arrange transport if necessary to anywhere in Canada or the USA. If there are any questions, please PM me or email sjtymko at yahoo.ca

I will post some interior pics within a couple of days.

Steve
