18.5?
You gotta be kidding me. I'd laugh my way right back into my car and drive off if I heard those numbers.

$18500 is WAY too high for a 300GDt. $5-9K might be more realistic.

Those units are nice, but way overpriced.

G class is a whole other thing guys. Can't compare it to what a 123 in prisitine shape would sell for. These cars are usuallly ALWAYS above $10k... and $20k is not unheard of.

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.

There's some dealer in Portland that's asking almost $25K for an '80 280GE. In the CL ad they mention it's got 110K miles with 10K on a rebuild. Aren't these engines supposed to go 200K+ easily? That to me sounds fishy. Lack of maintenance? What else was neglected?

Well since its so old you would probably have to pay the $31k cash, plus tax ect.
Heck with that, for that kind of money I'd just finance the difference for a 1-2 year old G500. 1991 is a 15 year old vehical at this point.

well yeah, they shouldnt need rebuilding...but who knows, they may have driven over a big rock and knocked a hole in the oil pan. no matter how good a motor is wo oil it is a short time til it is trashed.
yeah, i have entertained the thought of a g from time to time. the rustiest least desireable model is still 7 or 8k. anything any good at all is in the mid teens or higher. tom w
