Thread: G-Wagen @ 120k - pffft....please

It will be interesting to see how they depreciate. A secondhand unit might be viable 10 years on.

I started to read the article and thought the $120K must have referred to an up-spec'd unit... it's the base model!

That's not a rival for the Defender or even the Troopie. In fact for that price you could almost buy one of each and still have some change.

Now why would you want that over a Range Rover Sport...seriously. I don't think they're gonna sell that many to be honest

Yikes, I new it would be more than a deefer but that is just silly.

Just think, A nice new Deefer and $65,000 to spend on extra's! I know which I would rather have.

At that price I can't see them selling any.

If it has airbags it will appeal to mining & gov't buyers. But then again, I'm sure a Council Ranger would rather drive a D3 or a RRS than a G-Wagen.

However if they have airbags, they could then be customised for mine site ambulance work, and would be better than a 100Series adapted to such a task.

Come down in price in real terms though as they were selling for like $75,000 plus when last on market in oz 20 years ago.

But $120,000 totally over priced for what they got and can do

Probably be cheaper to source a European model and do a direct import yourself

G'day Folks

When the "G" wagon came on the Qld market some 20+ years ago the on the road price was $104,205 and 3 weeks after they were released I saw a gentleman cleaning FISH on the tailgate on Welsby Pde at Bribie Island witout any protective cover
