I bought a black 14km 1997 g320 cab on ebay last summer. I bought it from a german fellow here, who had a valid US title, though no conversion work had been done at all (still had MB of Frankfurt tags on it). I paid $30k for it, and seeing how it had less than 10K miles on it, it was essentially new, even had german air in the tires.

After talking to the folks at DOT, I quickly learned that what I had was contraband, and that it was subject to be seized and (gasp) crushed.

So, I called the German back, and he refunded my $ and picked it up.. Oh well..It was a neat truck, but I would have been just as happy with a well equipped jeep.. The g500 is another story.
