Snibble is correct.
Pre 2002 G-wagons are relatively rare in this country and those that were sold pre-2002 were probably imported by either Europa or Keiser Motors at prices approaching $100K at the time!
Most pre-2002 models usually fetch between $17-$27 depending on condition and engine. The diesels usually command a good price because they can be easily registered in the Republik of Khalifornia
Parts can be expensive too, especially suspension parts, since most supply houses (dealers or after-market) don't do high volume G part sales.
It's all about supply and demand. Relatively few early G's in the country with a fairly good demand for them keeps the prices inflated. BTW, my '85 SWB 300GD is a blast in the desert.
