What Owners are Saying About the 2004 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

"My favorite vehicle I have ever owned..."

"I started as a skeptic. What was all the fuss about? An overpriced mall crawler, I thought. But, somehow I could not get the idea out of this truck my head. The reviews of many other high end 4x4s would have commentary like " it is no G Class" or " Not made to compete with the likes of the G glass"...........so I looked far and wide, found one, and drove it. it took only 5 minutes and It was over....bought it on the spot. I sat inside and was instantly hooked. The thing felt like a safe...shaped like one too. The interior was the perfect blend (for me) of utility and luxury. The engine was impressively powerful, and the exhaust note sounded amazing (it has side pipes for goodness sake). The car was 11 years old and felt more solid any new car that I ever owned. Some modern tech mixed with old school quality was the right kind of alchemy for me. No turning back. I am ruined for anything else. If you can find one in your price range, but it. Don't hesistate, You will not be sorry."

"Best year 2012 G550"

"Most reliable G. 2012 G550 Keep it forever classic design great car Keeps great price as well Love everything about it"

"An amazing car to cruise. Only issue is MPG"

"It’s a eye catching car. Especially in my matte black. Pretty loud 5.5 V8, 380 Horsepower (in mine) and it’s pretty quick. Not super fast but not slow at all! And it’s great at off-roading!"
