If I were to purchase a G from the 1980s (300GD would be ideal) would it be usable as a daily driver? I know that I wouldn't hesitate to drive an 83 300D as a daily driver after it got it's initial maintanance checkup, but I don't know how different the Gs are. Are things like axle seals and the like totally worn out after 15-20 years, or are they built like other Merecdes of the period?

I'd appreciate any thoughts that you have.
