I purchased this G500 new in 2002. It's an absolute dream car. I've been living In Montana for the last decade and this car handled the varying weather conditions like a tank, while remaining true to it's luxury looks.
The interior still looks brand new. Recently replaced the AC unit to handle the CA heat.
Also replaced the outdated stereo, so it's now bluetooth/USB compatible. 3 of the four window motors have been replaced.
There are some exterior rust spots on some hinges and the front grill due to the moisture of the Montana roads.
I have service records available.
The bottom line: this is an opportunity to own an exclusive, luxury SUV at a fraction of the cost.
