Originally developed as a military vehicle in collaboration with Austrian manufacturer Steyr-Daimler-Puch, the Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen (German for cross-country vehicle) was first offered to the public in 1979, but only until 2002 were they sold in the US.  They are as capable off the road as they are pleasant to look at. They are the Defender / Land Cruiser / Patrol of Germany. Luckily, as with many of these great 70s, 80s, and early 90’s icons, they are starting to age in and can now be imported legally into the U.S. Those early G-wagens endured testing in ecosystems ranging from the deserts of the Middle East to the sub-zero temperatures in the Arctic Circle. Today, they are posh highway street cruisers and we’ve just listed a very nice one for our readers.
For sale is this 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300GE Gelandewagen SWB (short wheel base) showing just over 167,000 kms (~104k miles). This is a left-hand drive example from the third year of the revised W463 G-Class. Sold new through a dealer in Switzerland, this Gwagen was imported to the US in 2018. Power comes from a 3.0-liter gasoline inline-six paired with an optional automatic transmission, and factory equipment includes triple lockers, power windows and air conditioning. Did everyone hear that…lockers AND air conditioning.
It is offered with recent records, tools, 2 keys, a clean Carfax and Auto Check reports, and ships from Pennsylvania with a clean clear title. Financial and shipping assistance is available. We also offer our Buying Assistance program to help facilitate the transaction between buyer and seller. If you would like to have this vehicle inspected, Second Daily will cover up to $200 on a pre-purchase inspection if you go on to purchase the vehicle.
The exterior finish appears to be in excellent condition and is believed to be original paint. Exterior modifications include a Brabus rear spoiler, a factory brush guard and window tinting on the rear windows. No rust is seen other than some small surface spotting underneath and the seller reports it is rust free. The truck is fitted with a tow hitch and electrical connection for towing, and a factory spare wheel and tire remain affixed to the rear door. Four new 265/65-series BFG all terrain tires were mounted on later-model factory 18” wheels in January 2018. The factory-style spot welds, undercoating, rubber plugs, and factory engine protection sealant remain visible.
The cabin features tan leather upholstery with multi-colored stitching, matching carpeting, and black trim on the door panels, center console, dashboard, and the original steering wheel. This one is graciously equipped with triple lockers (front, rear and center diff locked). A Pioneer stereo head unit is fitted, and the air conditioning system and other electronics are all functional. The 6-digit mechanical odometer shows just over 167k kilometers (~104k miles). A September 2018 service included a new steering damper, spark plugs, fuel injectors cleaning and oil change.

all that and I missed the end. Plz email me I can bump up some if it helps
An overtime offer has been sent to you via email. Check spam if you don’t see it.
Can I get the vin plz
Just emailed the VIN to you
Can we have seller post more underbody pictures particularly under door edges, rear door, and rear chassis?
Any way someone can show pics with paint meter on different panels?
Does this have air bags?? Passenger side and driver side??
Not publishing the VIN has just about the same optics as a Craigslist advert. Sorry, but all I want to do is some preliminary background research.
The VIN isn’t some top secret bit of information. It’s simply an identifier for a particular car. One can gather the number simply by walking up to ANY vehicle, which of course isn’t possible with an online-only auction.
Oh, and rather than guessing about the exterior color, one could very easily look up the Mercedes data card for this vehicle. But, of course, that would require the VIN.

Color stated as Bornite Brown but we are telaying the comments of the seller.
VIN has been emailed to you.
What is the purpose of not publishing the VIN?
Our default to protect seller from publicly sharing the VIN. Serious buyers always/easily simply request the VIN and we are happy to share it.
Is it purple? It is hard to tell from the photos
It does carry a purple tone to it, unsure of the actual color code though (could be violet gray poly / shell gray poly). we can request a pic of the sticker if it’s still there
