The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is one of those models that stands apart from the rest of the Mercedes-Benz family. Here is a tough and versatile off-roader that can go nearly anywhere on Earth, in stark contrast to the brand’s luxurious, seriously road-focused sedans, coupes, convertibles, and crossovers. Granted, Mercedes-Benz would jump on the SUV bandwagon later on with more models, but the G-Glass remains their first. Introduced in 1979, it has remained faithfully true to its design roots while being updated continuously. This particular 2005 Mercedes-Benz G500 comes from the W463 first generation, which ran between 1990 and 2018. Up for sale with less than 74,000 miles done, it’s ready to rumble and roll with a new owner.
Exterior and Interior
Coming in a simple silver paint job, this 2005 Mercedes-Benz G500 showcases why the G-Class is so distinctive. Its boxy design, straight edges, upright sides, and circular headlamps are at odds with the design of its siblings from the time. Yet, it’s still unmistakably Mercedes-Benz material, no doubt helped by the massive star on the front grille. The keen-eyed will also notice that the five-spoke alloy wheels are a classic Mercedes-Benz design, too. The gray interior of this 2005 Mercedes-Benz G500 is a mix of utilitarian and luxurious. You’ve got leather-upholstered seats, with the front ones enjoying heating and power adjustment capabilities. There are power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks. You’ll also find dual-zone climate control with air conditioning and a color-screened infotainment system. Rear-seat passengers get air vents and cup holders, too. There’s even some wood trim on the multifunction steering wheel and center console. And yet, the interior features hard-wearing plastic plus rubber mats for maximum durability. After all, this is a vehicle that’s meant to live a tough, outdoorsy life. A final touch is a sunroof, which is great for glorious days when you’d like to have the sun streaming in or engage in some stargazing.
Engine
Coming with a powerful 5.0L naturally aspirated V8, this 2005 Mercedes-Benz G500 is quite a mover and shaker when required. The engine is rated to make 292hp and 336lb-ft, sending it to all four wheels via an automatic gearbox. You’ve also got electronically locking differentials and a body-on-frame construction. This means it’s a potent package straight out of the box.
If you want a tough, capable off-roader that’s also German and has some luxury features, this 2003 Mercedes-Benz G500 is a definitive contender for that extra space in your garage. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class today may look gangster, but trust us, it’s still one of the most potent off-roaders in the world. Going back to 2003 when this vehicle left the factory, things were rather more…shall we say, purposeful. Just see how many miles this vehicle has done; 278,000 to be exact, and its personality is immediately apparent. So, if you buy it, you’re not taking a chance, but making an investment. Because let’s face it, the G-Class can outlive you if properly maintained!
Mercedes-Benz’s G-Class is well-known as a tough and fierce off-roader that’s now become a sort of S-Class for off-roading in terms of comfort, tech, and luxury features. This wasn’t always the case, so let’s wind back the clock to the time when the G-Class was just entering the luxury space. This was the time when the W463 generation was entering the market, around 1990. These G-Classes are special because they’ve got a great blend of capability and luxury without over-complicating things with myriad digital screens, touch panels and fingerprint readers. Case in point, this 2000 Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet. With 82,500 miles on the clock and a two-door drop-top body style, this could be your daily driver and your weekend toy, all rolled into one. Oh, and it’s got a V8 under the hood; need we say more?

The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
