1991 Mercedes Benz 300GD G-Class SUV

1991 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Description

This 1991 463 GWagen is ready for adventure! With the legendary durability of the GWagen, its simple diesel OM603 engine, manual transmission, great gas mileage, more modern appointments of the W463 series, and CLEAN US title and reg, this is a very rare find in the USA!

We purchased it for a long overland journey through North and South America. Now that the adventure is over, it is time for our truck, “Glenda the Geländewagen” to find a new owner.

Outstanding maintenance required:

As an engineer, it is important to me to be clear with customers about what is great about this vehicle, AND where maintenance remains:

1: Tie rod replacement

• Current tie rod is functional, but worn. Symptom is slight play in steering wheel.

2: Under-dash maintenance

• Speedometer, Odometer and Tachometer ceased functioning during our trip. We have kept extremely thorough records of distances traveled regardless, and will happily share them with prospective buyers
• Windshield wiper spindles are worn and need to be replaced. In the meantime, silicone sealant has been applied to prevent leaks
• Several lights in dashboard switch modules no longer illuminate
