2002 Mercedes-Benz G500

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Few Mercedes-Benz models, or vehicles for that matter, are as iconic as the Geländewagen and for good reason. Introduced in 1979, the ‘G-Wagen’ remained structurally unchanged for almost 40 years as it slowly morphed from its utilitarian beginnings into a modern-day luxury car still capable of off-road greatness. Originally conceived in partnership with Steyr-Daimler-Puch of Austria, the earliest G-Wagens were designed as no-frills transportation able to traverse all manner of terrain. By 1992 the new ‘W461’ G-Class platform arrived, and with it, customer demand for everyday creature comforts they had come to expect from other models of Mercedes. Occasionally imported to the US as a grey market offering, by 2002 Mercedes-Benz USA began officially importing the G500. The new offering came equipped with a new, luxurious interior and a newly refined exterior with alloy wheels, a chrome grille, and body-color bumpers. Even with these upmarket changes the G-Class did not lose its off-road credibility; in fact, it became even more capable as US buyers would soon find out.
