Pick it up next Monday, in Obsidian Black of course.
Don't ask how much it was, you'll think I'm crazy.

its got that old LR look, i like it actually;)
I just think its crazy paying nearly half value of vehicle in taxes
what model is it?, had a quick look on mercedes site, but no sign of it.
Is that low profile tyres on an off-road vehicle ?.....hehe maybe its not
really a off-roader...you need to option up to the uni-mog for that:)

Ha-ha! Looks like a LWB 40 series LandCruiser with a Merc badge!!!
Seriously though, I bet it hammers offroad. I've not got a leg to stand on... my Yaris has turned into something else!
I'm off to Google this G class thing now... better be worth it!

Ok, no it's not the AMG version - that would be very nice but very silly.
Actually Mercedes are not importing them at the moment - this is a private import, so second hand for me. Still a bit expensive but I'm justifying that with the excellent resale value.
It's got a de-tuned version of the E320's V6, running 156 kW; AWD; centre, front and rear diff locks, all the Mercedes fruit.
It will not be lowered, if anything raised just a tad! But I won't decide for sure until I pick it up.
As for what it's replacing . . . I haven't made up my mind. Maybe the GLf will go, or maybe we'll be replacing our E-class with a C-class.

It's a 1993 w463. As a member of the Australian Mercedes community I get a lot of correspondance from other Mercedes enthusiests, I'd kind of been half looking at one of these for a while when this one came up and bang! Got it.
It's an auto, with a very very very very low first gear. If you've ever driven a Merc though you'll know that you can't actually use first gear unless you select "2" while stationary.
Canberra Star Motors are relocating as far as I know - I don't know where though, I only use MB Spares (also in Fyshwick). Canberra Star sure sell enough cars in the ACT though so I doubt they've gone out of business!
