G63 6x6 in NYC

Yesterday a friend has showed me a picture of a G63 6x6 with diplomatic plates which he was told is parked for several months (abandoned?) in some garage in NYC. I just wonder if anybody knows anything more about the truck?

Re: G63 6x6 in NYC

So this story about an abandoned G 6x6 is most probably fake. That picture was taken about 2 months ago but the car was photographed driving in Washington D.C. about a month ago.

Not sure if it's the same one. I have seen one running around the Hamptons.

RE: G63 6x6 in NYC

I was talking to the local Tampa dealership. He was telling me about a 6x6 G-Wagon here in the area. They also told me that the owner broke one of the portal axles. Mercedes (International) refuses to fix it because it was exported from Italy. Apparently there is some signed agreement that does not allow them to export from certain countries. Mercedes will be happy to service it once it's returned to Italy.

Yes. It is the Tampa Mercedes dealership. I don't recall the sales manager's name.

Re: G63 6x6 in NYC

I have heard rumours that there is another gray import 6x6 with a broken axle, nobody wants to touch, sitting at a dealership in Beverly Hills. Can anybody confirm this?

Re: G63 6x6 in LA

I know there is one in Hollywood Hills, perhaps it is the same one.

Re: G63 6x6 in NYC

I bet my dad who was repairing portal axles on Praga V3S trucks during the communist era could repair it as well

The problem is MB is selling parts only to workshops which are authorised to repair the 6x6 and as the 6x6 was never oficially sold in the US, there are also no such workshops there...

Re: G63 6x6 in NYC

The company that actually makes the portal axles would probably let a few parts slip out the door.

Re: G63 6x6 in NYC

I have several VINs- for example WDB4632721X214706 but again, the 6x6 is only a packet for the G63 and the special parts are only in the special parts catalogue which is only available for MB workshops...
