Talk me out of copping an 04 G-Wagon

[Kilgore Trout]

Are there no other options available or you really just like the 04 model? I'm confused.

no I’m just not trying to spend 40k for a 10 model. They hold their value surprisingly good.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Price a fuel pump, Brake pads/rotors, and eventual drive shaft repair/replacement and get back to me.

Check for rust too depending on where the truck lived.

They are generally reliable, and replacement parts are not impossible to find...

Get ready for MB to rape you up the ass for electronics or other shyt you can't find outside of the stealership.

I used to have an M3. Maintenance wasn’t that bad at all.

The fact that you're even considering it means you are probably fine with making stupid decisions and will do it anyway so have fun

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Do what the fukk you want

 

[RubioTheCruel]

The problem with buying a vehicle like that is it still has the maintenance of a high end vehicle in terms of parts and service. If you couldn't afford a new G wagon I'd steer clear

 

[THE MACHINE]

25k

$25k with 60k miles and 17 year old parts?

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Only 60k miles yet 16 years old


Sure


For 25k

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

go for it

you deserve that.

 

[buzzkill]

25k for a car made in 2004

theres so many newer better options at that price

 

[Deuterion]

With warranty, 60k miles

If you can't afford to buy it new, then you definitely can't afford to buy it used. Make sure you check the cost of insurance, the items most likely to malfunction, how much they cost and then use that to make an analysis. People be buying these used German cars for the low and you see to see them deteriorate slowly. The Side mirror stops working and its $750 to fix because Mercedes used a 5 part assembly that forces you to take the front left tire off to fix. Then there's a dent in the back and that costs $3000 to fix because the back is made of a single piece of molded polycarbonate. You can't afford the $750, can't afford the $3,000...ain't got money for the $500 oil change...the car just goes to shyt.

All them shyts look the same up until the 2019 model you can even get a body kit that makes it look like a mid 2010s model

 

[No Homo]

Warranty on a 16 year old Mercedes?

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

You about to get finessed buying that

 

[call_me_step_daddy]

sometimes people like what they like..everybody dont want a fukking nissan versa or a damn toyota because it a "safe choice" or "better mileage"

i know i dont wanna live my life playing everything safe all the damn time

with that being said, if you do get that truck, just make sure you got the money stashed away for when shyt breaks down,simple.

Take that 25k and get a 2016 Benz E350 with low mileage
