Mercedes Benz G Wagon 350CDi £125,000 - How much?!

[scenario8]

Well I quite like these old skool off roaders and I'm glad M-B are still building them and have started selling them here again. This ad is currently on the homepage of PH so I thought I'd give it a click and...

...check it out. 2 things;

1. They want £125,000

2. It's already sold.

A quick google and they retail for £79,975. Even with enthusiastic optioning that's some mark up. How long can the lead time be for delivery of an un-registered no-owner model from a dealer? And at that sort of money wouldn't you go for the G55? (£114,975)

Just, wow.

Maybe its marked as sold and a similar one will come on the market cheaper and people will think its a great buy. who knows tho, but 125k for a g wagon is crazy. Could get a a nice 5.0 range rover for much less

Thread resurrection time.

Logging on this evening I'm greeted with this advert;

So now it's second hand with 4,600 miles on the clock and we're invited to pay them £95,000 for it.

No thanks.

It's stupid money, but if I won the lottery big time I would have to get one, it's very gangster!

Expensive but they do look awesome

Obsidian black metallic? Looks matt or satin black to me

With the help of a lottery win is that really what you aspire to? Looking like a gangster?

Freakin awesome car!
Price seems fair enough considering the extras and interior. I reckon it retailed at about 110k
