Which "dealer"? Where?
It would be helpful if you completed your profile to tell us where you are located. |

Hey Louis, I would like to know the information as well. And you say they have "4 out of 10 trucks left"--did you mean the dealer? Are they trying to be a Europa outfit?
By the way, thanks for your reply on the sale of your 300GE. I am sure the new owner will enjoy your G. |

I've also driven a couple of these G320's at AutoEurope. Except for the issue of whether a car dealer is honest, does it really matter whether these are 1999 or 2001 vehicles?
I've heard that a number of G-wagons were imported by a person in Grosse Pointe Michigan.
I do agree that Auto Europe's service department is excellent.

My G320 was first registered in 2001 in California-
It probably took 2 years for the original owner to drive it around (she lived in Switzerland), ship it, get it federalized / california-ized, and registered.
mechanically it is very good- there has been some debate on the gas mileage benefits (I mostly drive around town, and it is more efficient than a v8 and has better emissions.)
there were some electronic issues that I think convinced her to sell that I was able to repair with the advice of other board members.
good luck in your search,
m
