| New Guy Checking In
Hello. I don't own a G wagen as of yet but I'm on the hunt. I just signed up over at Benzworld as well. Where Does one beging the search for a 300GD? Not a common car in Northern California.
As for me, I just unloaded a LX 450 and went back to driving my old Scout. The G Class is a great compromise between an old ruged design and fancy bells and whistles.
Are there any G events in Northern California?

Not being in the US I can't speak with certainty but you mention wanting both a 300GD and bells and whistles.
From what I understand the only 300GDs you are going to find over there with the exception of maybe three G300 TDs are all going to pretty much be 460s. These are quite basic - the bells and whistles appear in the 463s and 463 diesels in the US are about as rare as hen's teeth.
Just a thought...

Good to know. So I might be resigned to a gas model, if I'm looking for some modern amenities. That seems to be the difficulty for me. Finding the right model and being able to properly identify it. It also seems I'm in a holding pattern anyways with the lack of product on the market.
Thanks Maxwell. |

Thanks Harald but I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say which was that I was not aware of any 300GD 463s in the US or for that matter and diesel 463s other than a very small handfull of G350 TDs and three G300 TDs. |

Max,
my post was not directed at you but at Sean.
Sean's last line "Thanks Maxwell" made me think his name was Maxwell as well - and I answered him. But it was not Maxwell saying "thanks" in general, it was Sean saying "thanks" to Maxwell. |

Ahh the confusion of it all. But I would be interested to know how many diesel 463s are floating around North America.... anybody hazard a guess? |
