Re: WTB G 1995 or newer Turbo Diesel

There are very very few in the US, I have yet to see one in Canada and we have a 15 yr rule instead of 25 so now the 1997's become eligible. I hav been looking into importing one from Germany and even then I have yet to find a lower mileage looked after one for reasonable cost, although the g350 are cheaper but for a reason. Best of luck but your best option may be an early w463 300ge or 320 and swap in an om606.

Good option indeed about early W463 300GE, but even they are rare to find for a bargain or blown engine.

Re: WTB G 1995 or newer Turbo Diesel

There is a G320 for sale in Ohio that's looks to be in awesome shape, I was considering it for a diesel swap but I just don't have the time with my work schedule that sends me overseas 4-6 mths a year. They are asking 23k, if you are doing the swap yourself and not paying someone else to do it, depending on purchase price you could be all done at around $30k. I am looking at importing a G300DT which Incan because of the 15yr rule in Canada, for a good lower mileage one it would cost me roughly the same so I think reasonable if you really want a diesel G with good power, economy and comfort. I had found a 1991 300ge in Canada for a good price but it sold before I could go look, I believe the person who bought it is planning a swap as well.

Thanks Kurtis. Ha, small world, I had spoken to this guy about a W460 he had awhile back.

JCH4, LMK if you want this info too.
