looking for a G-wagon

When/if they decide to bring in civilian models after the military ones start arriving here it will be an interesting moral dilemma.

I've said it a number of times now but Ive got it bad for a G-Wagen.

As for the GL, it is a Prado for people with too much money.

The newer ones are much more powerful with nicer interiors but retain the heavyduty consruction, 3 diff locks etc. If only they made them in RHD!!!

Are the new army ones RHD?

I can't imagine our military not having right hand drive vehicles.... that would be weird with a capital dubbaya.

as for slow etc... take a look at this: Mercedes G55 AMG | First Drives | Car Reviews | Auto Express

At $13k, I will keep looking.

They do tend to peak at 90km/h.

I think my problem is that i get bored with cars and as soon I have my new vehicle sorted, I usually end up selling it.

Hmm

Patience I must learn.

Have seen them for sale in WA in the $12 to $15 thou range.A LOT OF 4x4 for the $$$

Late reply warning.

I'm lucky enough to have a 1992 300GE which arrived in Australia through Hong Kong a number of years ago. It's my pride and joy.

Auto, full leather, full electrics, heated seats, sunroof etc and has traveled a 'mere' 154,000kms. It'll cruise at 110 easily with the max i've had it at would be 130 or thereabouts overtaking. It's a magic car that turns heads like nothing else. Pic below

There's a lot of "Defenderness" in that G-Wagon photo. Flat windscreen. Boxy. I can see the attraction.

Nice BM next to it too.

Cheers, they are quite similar in terms of them being designed by a bloke who only had a ruler. I actually took home a Defender 90 from ULR in Malvern (melbourne) a few years back (just before they stopped bringing them out) as an alternative but changed my mind when it wouldn't fit under the garage at work.
