| elevatorbernie Expert Date registered: Aug 2006 Location: Vancouver B.C. Canada Vehicle(s): 1989 280GE Posts: 1347  | Canadian used G prices Prices still insane here in BC. I was driving around today and noticed a used G for sale on a used car lot. 1984 lwb Puch with MB badging and lots of body rust bubbling through the bondo and paint. They were asking $17,000 CDN  Edited by elevatorbernie 3/26/2007 5:22 PM | |

I can sorce way cheaper G's out of Japan. So far I have just bought two for myself (both 300GE one LWB and the other SWB) because I'm after RHD, but there are tons of LHD ones. I almost bought a G36 this week even though it was LHD just so I could own it  | |

Canada Vehicle(s): 1989 280GE Posts: 1347 | Re: Canadian used G prices Photoman - 3/29/2007 4:16 PM Mine is from Japan nice clean grade 4. No rust. Anything 15yrs old or older can come here. However the importers over here are bringing in mostly RHD Toyota LC diesels. I have only seen a few Gs from Japan here, but tons of LCs. I'm not sure why though, rusty 80's Gs are asking 17,000$ CDN. here. So send us the unwanted LHD Gs there's a market here. I would like mine diesel please.

Those G's I've mentioned were seen from Autotrader. I don't recall which dealership was it for the 2 Gs: 250 and 300 GD; The G in Brockville was a private sale, don't recall the contact phone number; the G from stoutville was from a dealer call Repro... something. But I don't know whether it was sold or not. I can go check it out sometime next week if you are interested. Please let me know.  | |

| Chris Veteran Date registered: Sep 2006 Location: Calgary, AB Vehicle(s): 2012 G550, 2012 GL350 BT Posts: 241 | Re: Canadian used G prices I have seen few diesels on various sites from japan and most of the ones that I see are were RHD so I guess that is my luck. I guess if I was lucky and had a associate in Japan to help pluck the good ones like Photoman then I have a good one too.  I would like a 463 diesel perferably but i was open to considering a 460 as well and there have been a few on clubgwagen but for all the reasons listed above I just can't get anywhere. Elevatorbernie, Have you been out to Calgary with your truck? I had seen one like it here but it was going the opposite direction this past summer. | |

Canada Vehicle(s): 1989 280GE Posts: 1347 | Re: Canadian used G prices Chris - 3/30/2007 1:51 PM The guy that imported mine has been trying to get another gas or diesel, his buyer in Japan, as he says, "hasn't come even close" mine is the only one he got. He has bought hundereds of other cars and trucks, but no more Gs. I think he's bidding too low, trying to make a profit flipping them after importing or his buyer at the auction is only getting the left overs. There are lots of G's over there both LHD and RHD, if you have money you should be able to get one, with the right buyer. Just remember the 15 years old or older Canada import rule; I think the 463's started in 1991... so 1991 and 1992 only. Maybe Photoman can help you with his buyer. I guess if I was lucky and had a associate in Japan to help pluck the good ones like Photoman then I have a good one too. Edited by elevatorbernie 3/31/2007 12:59 AM | |

I was taken badly on that deal , as it looked great but had many problems. When I bought the 230ge I knew little of these trucks and just "wanted" it. I purchased my second 2002 G500 for $38,000 Canadian with 80,000 km left on the extended star certified warranty from a MB Canada dealership. I think it all balances out. The initial asking prices are high in Canada but reality settlles in and our prices reflect the American market values in the end. Just my opinion but G education when buying these trucks is paramount. That is what makes this forum so important. Cheers  | |
