    My mate imported a professional g wagon and it's very good off road. He's done numerous outback trips and it's never missed a beat with just over 100k on the odo. It was in the 70k to 90k range from memory including all the taxes etc.. So with the Australian Mercedes Benz tax it will probably sell for 100+

    I was trying to get hold of a G-Prof when we got our G350. A few secondhand G350s are now starting to trickle onto the market for under $100K. Ours has just gone out of warranty and the only issues have been with minor things like power window regulators.

    The G-Class outback launch video linked a few posts back does mention that the G-Professional support vehicle in that convoy had no issues. The others just had problems with shock absorbers, of which they went through all of the spares and had to get more flown in.

    If you want to compare a G to a Defender (or 79 series Landcruiser), then you need to compare it to one that has front & rear lockers and a massive power upgrade and auto transmission conversion and sound deadening and build quality and...

    How have you found the G350?

    One of the big issues that my mate has had (with his G300 Professional) is a total lack of after market parts.. My mate had problems getting things like a bullbar fitted..

    Imho over priced.
    Imho the stealer support /wait time for parts is worse than a nightmare in our experience. Work leases a few mb commercials. $360 something for a ign keyfob. We waited 20 days then cancelled the order. Had to come from overseas by sleddog or something.
