At least, Brabus added a spare tire. +1 for them.

This one does not even have a spare tire, while the Mercedes Maybach G650 does. I guess that''s one of the differences between a US$500k vehicle and one for only US$200k. :victory:

Are your technicians trained to properly service this vehicle? Curious.

Sounds like a jealous wannabe non-owner.

Agreed 100%. As an aside, my tire dealer said that they had the lowest road force he has ever seen on any tire be it street or off-road. The only negative would be that they can develop a flat spot when parked for days or weeks at a time (as is my G500); and it takes driving a few miles before...

Why so many legs? I had a total of six under my RTT which easily supported 550-600 lbs when my wife and I were in it; and that's about the limit for the G's gutters anyway.

Looks like another one to add to the "Avoid List".

Which all the more emphasizes the importance of "Caveat Emptor"!!

What an entertaining pi$$ing match this has turned out to be. I have owned, driven, serviced and repaired G's continuously since 1984; so I should have a bit of credence when it comes to a G. I don't think that a new G320, even from Europa Int'l, ever sold for US$136,000 in the US. The 1999...

And if he does, what would you bet that it will be deleted by the moderator/sponsor.

Doubtful, as he is a buy American first kind of guy; and is talking about a 35% tariff on some foreign made products.

Eric, How were you able to bring in the G320? Since it's less than 25 yrs old, did you have to Federalize it? DUTCH

Out of warranty. If it's the batteries, Chinese made batteries that fit the battery box are not available in the US. That will require 9 X 25 lbs = 225 lbs of shipping to get them from Australia to the US. If it's the charger, replacement will be extremely difficult due to where it's mounted.

After MANY hours of work, I did get the lift cable repaired. However, another major issue with the batteries or the charger has come up that prevented me from using it on a planned trip this Fall. It has been one issue after another. Not one night of use this year. *:-((

My Karavan has the so-called winterized option (tank heater and insulated water lines). However, when I close it up for the winter, I drain all water from the tanks and water lines; and replace it with RV antifreeze.

I paid cash, too. DUTCH

Cooking outside eliminates the residual cooking smells from the inside of the RV. Ask me how I know.

If Mastodon is a good seller, they should be able to answer your questions on this subject. Also, check on some of the specialized G-Class forums, like Pointedthree.com. Do a search; and if you can't find a good answer, ask your question there.

There are a couple of official MBUSA dealers who discount 25-28% off of MBUSA MSRP. Too many dealer parts counters use "Matrix Pricing", which is MBUSA MSRP ++ $$$. Not very nice, but is approved by MBUSA. An easy question is to ask the parts counter manager if they use Matrix Pricing. If...

But was a G-Class one of your four?
