    • @differentcarreview-dcr
      @differentcarreview-dcr  7 років тому +1

      the lx570 (J200) is more comfortable and more practical, the G class is on the other side a better off-roader with great history,
      both of these cars are reliable, but the spare parts are expensive
      so if you want a car with badass image, great history and outstanding off road capablility then buy a G class
      and if you want a more "civilized" car then buy the lx570

    I have a 2002 G500 with 117k miles. Some off road use from previous owner, decent condition, has NEVER gave me any problems. 5 years of ownership nothing EVER broke and the only money I've spent was for upgrades, gas, and regular service. This video doesn't do it justice this is the last REAL Mercedes built and and is a very reliable car. Def check for rust though.

    You forgot the rust problems on the second lifting of the 463 (around 2004). We had to repaint the whole car. We already swapped 2 turbochargers on the 400cdi (340k km) and there is a common problem with the sound system amp. It is located behind the rear light housing and water can get to it even through a smallest crack in the fixture. If you have this car I suggest checking for water damage there and adding some waterproofing (there is a coating that you can put on the logic boards).

A few superficial spots but is actually in great shape and my vehicle is nearly 20 years on the road being an '02.

    I think one of those older models would be fun, change the motor out to something around 300 hp and give it a modern paint along and throw some larger tires/wheels on it. Just something to play around in instead of getting my G63 dirty :)

    I’m thinking of buying a 2002-2010 G class G500. Most I find have super high miles ( over 150000) but the price of these don’t seem to match the mileage. My question is, are these just that reliable? With that many miles are they worth 30, 40, and I’m some cases 50 thousand dollars? I realize that the mileage is normal for the age but do these prices make sense?
