First 2006 to hit ebay

A G55K just posted on ebay today ... the first 2006 to appear. The Dealer claims it is in shipping and has posted old pics of a G55 ... I hope he posts new ones when it arrives


( I know it won't look much different, but I would still like to see the nuance)

That's not what I have been told ...

They will not be 'Grand Editions'. They will have new wheels and a couple new colors ... and what else I don't know, but I would like to confirm the rumors by actually seeing one, since MBUSA is officially saying nothing about these, and they are not even on their website

Re: First 2006 to hit ebay

It was my understanding that the G would skip model year 2006 in the USA. The new colors, new wheels, and missing "Grand Edition" logo are all correct changes for '06 overseas.

The model year 2006 is almost over, so why even bother with an '06 G? It's better to put down down your name on the dealer's list (if you are brave enough :wink:) or a deposit on an '07 (dealers should have some more info by now).

Re: First 2006 to hit ebay

I had a deposit on a 2002 long before the dealers knew anything. They thought I was nuts but agreed to hold onto my money.

Re: First 2006 to hit ebay

"That's not what I have been told ..." Exactly..! To: TheDog'sCar........

I told you about colors and wheels. 300, 06' G's will be built much to the chagrin of those who work for MBNA. The reason is that those who get an 06' might not be too happy when the new updated 07' appears with many changes within 6 months or less. But, unfortunately the decision has been made and that is the story.

Brent is correct in saying why not wait for the 07'. This is a no brainer IMO.

07's will be better hopefully in a tasteful way both inside and out. We will just have to wait and see.

Re: First 2006 to hit ebay

Odd how the auction says it won't have the Kompressor badge. Why would MB remove those? I probably would, but I don't see MB doing it.

RE: First 2006 to hit ebay

According to Indahood Magazine, the 2006 models are intended for rap stars who do not know about the 07 changes. The rest of us can patiently wait for our beloved G320 CDI

I spoke to the Dealer ... he made a mistake ... the Kompressor badge is on the 2006 and it is a G55K. They just got it off the truck this morning and he plans on putting actual pics up once it's unpacked
