I found a 2003 G500 with 19k miles on it. To top it off, they are mostly road miles with some boat towing. Not sure how big the boat was. I asked the asking price high 40's was mentioned.  I will know more tomorrow. Now here I am, wondering "Do I really want that G or is my 02 with 48K on it, to remain mine.  It is exactly like mine, but with so few miles.....Humm  | |

I know, i've thought about that because i've seen some 2000's come through with 20-30k miles and i've got over 100k on mine. But for just an 03 with 30k less miles? Both are just scratching the surface in terms of service life. Maybe for an 05... (or switching to a 2000)  But i don't think there's enough difference between what you've got and what you'll get to warrant a trade. I say dump some money into a wonderful stereo and call it a day. | |

I could not resist looking at the 03 Gwagen that the dealer had. They were a little on the high side as the milage was low. I had them do a car fax and the 03 had more issues than my 02, plus the warranty was set to expire in a month of so. For some reason, they put a new set of tires on it and took off the hitch. The front of the hood had an excessive amount of paint chips. The car fax indicated that there was a new windshield installed also. The G had been towed twice to different dealers. Then there were the usual problems, Servo mtr. for the transfer case, climate control replaced and the alternator recall. Regardless of the low milage, buying a starmark warranty is costly. On the bright side, the dealer replaced the evaporator coil and filter and the climate control unit under Starmarkwarranty. There was no cost to me. I must say I was impressed. The shop guys said that would have cost me dearly. From what I could see, that dealership looked like the Matag repairman's shop, too quiet for a car dealership. Besides, the salesmen were hungry looking. I;ll wait for the diesels.  | |
