Not sure what you meant as far as pre 2004, as I thought these had been around the US for longer that that, no? Now the question might be how easy will it be to find an older style...which I have noticed are not all that plentiful when I poke around the sales sites.
MBUSA started to officially import them in the 2002 model year. Before then, there were some individual importers (I did one personally myself in 1984); but the majority were brought in by Europa Int'l in Santa Fe, NM. That company is now defunct, although their head salesman is still selling some on a consignment, referral or finder's fee basis. He's in the Colorado Springs area.

They show up fairly regularly on Ebay; and here is a website that has classified only for the G in the USA:

There's another forum where a lot of the older Gwagen owners hang out, and older G's often show up for sale there on a word of mouth basis. Contact me by PM or email, if you need that info; as it wouldn't be polite to post it here.
