For Sale: 1999 Mercedes-Benz G500 in Savannah, Georgia

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1999 Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet. The W463 G500 is exceptionally rare, with only 306 built during a brief production run from 1998 to 2003. Finished in Obsidian Black Metallic over black leather interior, this G-Wagen has complete service history to new (including over 100 invoices in a binder, plus the original books). Very clean inside and out with 116,924 kilometers (which translates to 72,653 miles). Only recently eligible for import (year models 1998 through 2000 only).

Paint meter readings indicate original paint on every body panel, with the exception of a four-inch-wide strip above the rub rail on the passenger side door and quarter panel; there's a reference in the records to vandalism so we suspect it was keyed by either a jealous lover or an anti-capitalist. Canvas top in excellent condition; windows are clear, and the power top mechanism works properly (lowering and raising the top is considerably easier than the manual top W460 cabriolet). Factory 18-inch alloy wheels are wearing Yokohama Geolandar tires with nearly full-depth tread remaining. No known rust.

Interior is in excellent original condition with nice dash, steering wheel, door panels, and carpets - leather seating surfaces remain soft and supple. Factory stereo is working, along with all lights, instruments, indicators and climate control (a/c blows cold). Having recently driven and sold a W460 280GE (which was quite charming), we can say with confidence that this W463 G500 is orders of magnitude more refined. It's also an order of magnitude more expensive, but who's counting. Something this special feels like a bargain at any price.

Under the hood is an M113 5.0 liter V8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. Full-time four-wheel drive with locking front, center and rear differentials. With fewer than 75,000 documented original miles, this drivetrain is barely broken in (for comparison my personal daily driver is a 2008 G500 with 202,000 miles and it's still going strong).

Owner's books, two remote keys, first aid kit, tools, service records and all import documents are included. Sold on a clean and clear Georgia title in our dealership's name. For more information about this 1999 Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet for sale at Motorcar Studio, please call 912-235-0435.
