did anyone ever do business with Johan Saris of G-Mercedes in Utah?
checked the factory data base on his super cool pickups - VIN numbers and years don't match
300GDT (617A) WDB46033217053660 the white one for $37,500
290GDT WDB460332170531850 the dark one
anyone with insight?

The top picture is of a RHD VIN number I think Harald, the 270 being significant.
Your second picture looks like the rear chassis section (handbrake cable evident) ie there should be no VIN there. |

He was discussed in the G-Wagen Forum on Expedition Portal a while back; and the end conclusion was not positive. See here:

Looking on the cars in the sold section- some of them look like from a bit obscure source in Bavaria, some have strange built dates.
This also looks a bit strange- two difflock lights and only one shifter

well, I noticed the same thing on another vehicle offered
however, notice that one has a bulging diff (rear) and the other does not (front)?
So, it seems legit
but there are so many red flags with the vehicles that it is fair to say that this dealer can not be trusted |

talked to a guy selling a G he purchased from them about a month ago. His experience was super shady and he got a raw deal. The truck has a defender brush guard on it that he was told was OEM military and it appears the same for the roof rack after seeing pictures. He could only opay cash and was not allowed to drive it on the road only in the parking lot. Something about insurance and plates. The buyer happened to own a dealership so his insurance would cover it but still he was not allowed to drive it on the streets till after he bought it. And then after all that he was literally told " good luck" with getting it registered and titled properly. I would avoid this guy like the plague along with Mastadon or whatever they call themselves these days. I understand you will not have a perfect truck on any used vehicle but at least have full disclosure (best of your knowledge) and not be a sheisty salesman trying to get over on someone. These people ruin it for others and make the industry look bad. |
