2000 G500 with less than 5000 miles

I wonder what museum this was hiding in

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2000-Mercedes-Benz-G-Class-G500-CLASSIC/303628819636?hash=item46b1b01cb4:g:VXAAAOSwf~dfFcGP

I don't understand why in doesn't have both rear window switches in the center console.

It does. One photo shows 6 + 1 switches in the center console. In other photos the one switch is blocked by the passenger seat arm rest.

They sure are proud of it. Mine is available for half the price.

It recently sold on Bring a Trailer, you can search for it there. Before that it sold on Mecum. It came from a large collection in Chicago- looked like a really nice truck!

"Jubilee Model"?? To my limited knowledge there was/is no such thing.

Fwiw, it did not sell on Ebay, and has been relisted at an even higher asking price.

99% sure that this “Classic” model with special paint and bi-colour leather was referred to as a “Jubilee” in sales literature for the year 2000.

The G500 Classic was in 1999. This one came off the line on Sept 3, 1999. No such thing as a Jubilee. The VIN shows that is has the classic trim package and is painted in Almondine Black Metallic.

Re: 2000 G500 with less than 5000 miles

According to the retired G-Class International Marketing Manager, there was no Jubilee edition in 2000. He says there were Jubilee editions at 30 yrs (2009), 35 yrs (2014) and 40 yrs (2019)

That 1999 G500 Classic may been marketed as a Jubilee by Europa Int'l, but nothing called that by MB in 1999 or 2000; and as we well know, Europa Int'l called a lot of 1999 production as 2000's.

Dutch, the one on eBay!
To me it seems like a very high price.

It is. It didn't sell the first time around so they relisted it at an additional $1k. Go figure!

Here you go.....It is a 1999 Limited Edition. See here from this excellent G-Class reference book.
