| I am proud to offer the Ebay community exclusively

listed and sold here on Ebaymotors.com . What began in 1999 as an experiment
has now become a full time career! |

The vehicle that we are offering for auction
is a rare and highly sought after W463 G500.
"What, prey tell , is a W463?" one
might ask.
Mercedes assigns a chassis family number to
each vehicle that they build. MB typically builds 10 models on one platform
chassis.
For example- The W463 series trucks began production in Graz, Austria in 1989 and are still being produced today. During this production , MB produced
the four cylinder 200GE and 230GE, the six cylinder variants, 300GE, and G320 , additionally the V8 models, comprised of the 500GE and G500, and later G550 and the powerful G55 and G63, and also the Diesel versions, the 250GD, 300GD, 350GD and later the G300 and G400 CDI.
The W463 was available in either short or long wheelbase , and also as an open top cabriolet version. The long wheelbase G500 was the only W463 officially imported to the North American market and sold through MBUSA dealers.
All of the above mentioned trucks are virtually
identical. The differences lie in the engine displacement and trim.
This G500 is a rare bird
due to low sales. Less than 2,000 G500's were sold in North America for the 2002 model year. This is the only Everest green example that I have ever seen.
The current 2014 G550 looks nearly identical and carries a $137,000 MSRP price tag. |

The vehicle that I am offering here today is a two
owner vehicle purchased new at Mercedes-Benz of Fort Washington on 2-28-2002.
The vehicle has always been cared for properly
and I have a fully documented history on the vehicle, including every service interval from new , until last serviced 1,300 miles ago. This G has never been serviced by anyone other than a Mercedes-Benz dealership.
The vehicle was purchased new in Fort Washington , PA and it received very methodical care by the MB dealership. The first owner serviced the truck every 3,000 miles or less, at the MB dealership.
The second
owner purchased the car in 2006 when the truck had 42k miles. The
second owner was an insurance agent in Oxford , Mississippi and he used the vehicle only occasionally over the next seven years, only logging 22k miles in seven years time. He kept
the vehicle very well serviced at Mercedes-Benz of Memphis, where only the shop foreman is allowed to service the G wagons.
This vehicle is finished in #816 Everest Green metallic
with a complimentary charcoal leather interior. Here is a link with a PDF file of the entire service history from day one. You will note that the history begins at one mile and last service was 63,361.
Current mileage is 65,231 . (I have the truck locked in my garage until the conclusion of this auction). |

I absolutely love Mercedes-Benz automobiles. I have been buying and selling them for my entire adult life. I have a small collection of cars, and I own over 20 Mercedes-Benz automobiles, personally.
The G500 is an unusual model, in that it could be considered a "time warp" vehicle.
The G500 is constructed in Graz Austria at the Steyr - Daimler - Puch factory, now commonly referred to as Magna -Steyr. Production at Magna-Steyr, is much like a Mercedes-Benz would have been produced in the 1960's.
The G500 is produced entirely by hand, and largely, in place.
This is not a mass-produced vehicle born of robots. The Geländewagen are produced in the exact same fashion as when Mercedes-Benz quality was at its zenith. There is a very distinct difference when one sits in a hand built vehicle.
Remember that solid "thunk" noise that you heard when you slammed the door on an old Mercedes-Benz? This is the last "new" Mercedes-Benz that you will ever have the experience of hearing that rewarding sound from.
Build quality on this vehicle is AMAZING. This is a real SUV built by intelligent, well compensated individuals who were concerned about the quality of their product, and it's readily apparent when you operate this vehicle. The factory produces approximately 8 new vehicles per day in Graz Austria, which is also incidentally the home of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
MB has confirmed that it will continue to produce the W463 for several more years to come. MB has continually produced the Gwagen in its current form since 1989, and has been in production since 1979.

This Mercedes Benz G500 is in my opinion
in overall excellent condition. I have found zero evidence of any rust or prior paintwork.I have infact compared it to
a few 2010 G550 models with miles in the 40's at the nearby auction, and
this truck is in better cosmetic condition.
I have taken nearly 170 photographs for your review. I have archived all
of them in a .zip format. Please follow the link below to download the
photo archive.

I have been around this star for
my entire life. I grew up with both of my parents driving Mercedes-Benz
automobiles. I was driven to school in one. At age 3, I even had the privilege
of driving my parents 220S through the kitchen of our home. I feel quite
comfortable with these cars, and you will too!
For those of you that are not familiar with the star, this represents
MB's pursuit of excellence on Air, Land and Sea.

| Pricing
Based upon sources such as Hemming's Motors News
, and other publications such as The Star, I believe the value of this
vehicle to be approximately $37,500 when the low mileage is taken into
account. I did a search through the MB web site and found several MB dealers
asking $37-45k for low mileage 2002 and 2003 examples with miles between
42 and 65k.

There was something unexpected hiding in the new configurator for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive: a $600 "Temporary range extender." Since we've never heard of such a thing, we had to click through for more. The official explanation runs like this: A suite of options to further increase your driving range includes added insulation of the doors and roof for to increase climate-control efficiency, along with an electrically heated windshield and a range-extending charge function. By pressing a button on the console prior to charging, the maximum charge level for battery will increased for the next charge cycle. The higher-capacity charge can provide up to 17 additional miles of range. The passive features that increase range should be standard in all models, we think. But we were more curious about the battery charge situation. How do you increase a maximum? And is it a good idea to do so? The configurator includes this disclaimer, after all: Range extender should only be used on a limited basis, and could shorten battery life if used excessively. How much is excessive? We investigate below. The B-Class ED has, according to the specs, a 28-kWh battery. First, let's understand what this "temporary range extender" is all about. The B-Class ED has, according to the specs, a 28-kWh battery. But Terry Wei, from the Mercedes-Benz USA product and technology communications department, confirmed to AutoblogGreen that the B-Class ED is actually hiding a 36-kWh battery, but the automaker is calling it a 28-kWh battery because that's how much energy capacity is used in day-to-day use. Most automakers publicly claim the actual capacity and then admit they use a percentage of it. The Chevy Volt, for example, has a 16.5-kWh battery pack, but a "full charge" only fills up around 65 percent of that. In the B-Class ED, the 28 kWh of useable energy provides an EPA-certified 87 miles of range. But, since there are eight kWh of reserve, the temporary range extender (we think of it as a software update accessed by a button) can access some of that and offer the aforementioned 17 miles. Now that we know what we're dealing with, this reminds us of an evolved version of the "remote wireless charging" feature that was touted in the Reva EV. Wei said that the reason the feature is optional is because Mercedes doesn't think most people will need it. Eighty-seven miles is plenty for your average EV driver, but when you want to have 100+ in the tank, you can.

A new, Tesla-approved drone video shows the progress of the Gigafactory. Recently, a video surfaced showing what Elon Musk said was just the "pilot plant," which is only a quarter of the size of the final planned Gigafactory. This new video not only shows the structure, but also the site surrounding it. We see more steel beams waiting to be erected, suggesting that the footprint of the finished building will be even more massive than that of the current standing structure. And if what Musk says is accurate, we've got a lot more to look forward to. Have a look in the video above, and read more at Teslarati. Tesla is paying hackers to find bugs in its website and products. In a posting on Bugcrowd, the electric automaker calls on "security researchers" to find vulnerabilities in the site itself, any domains owned by Tesla, any Tesla apps as well as Tesla hardware owned by the hacker like a Model S or the Powerwall. In exchange for the hackers' service, Tesla is offering rewards ranging from $25 to $1,000 for reported vulnerabilities. Tesla also promises not to sic the law enforcement on hackers who step forward to help, as long as they follow the rules. Read more at Teslarati. Daimler and Bosch are working on automated parking for Mercedes-Benz. In a properly equipped parking garage, the car would find an empty space and park by itself, and return to the driver when called upon. The groups are starting a pilot project for the autonomous valet feature with carsharing service Car2go, where it works the other way around. Customers will be able to call a car to a pick-up zone using a mobile app. When finished, the customer leaves the car in the drop-off zone, and the car takes care of the rest on its own. "Fully automated parking will be ready for mass-production before fully automated driving," says Bosch's Dr. Dirk Hoheisel. "Low driving speeds and the information from the car park infrastructure enable a fast implementation." Read more in the press release from Daimler. Volta has raised $7.5 million in funding to expand its free EV charging network. To offer free charging, Volta's chargers essentially perform double duty as billboards for what Volta calls "companies with a vested interest in the community." "Early Internet pioneers like Google became industry titans by first offering free consumer services online paid for by companies that advertised on their platforms," says Volta CEO Scott Mercer.

There won't be any celebrations in Munich this month, as BMW was outsold by arch-nemeses Audi and Mercedes-Benz. The Bavarian company finished behind Audi in January, which took the top spot for the first time since June of last year, Bloomberg reports. Ingolstadt rode high on a 10-percent bump in sales, while Mercedes saw a larger 14 percent increase. BMW, meanwhile, only saw a modest 6.3-percent sales increase last month, thanks in large part to its struggles in China. The company's sales there increased at about half the rate of its chief competitors, with a 7.9-percent jump to Mercedes and Audi's roughly 15-percent increases. Perhaps more worrying for BMW, though, is that this could become something of a trend for the company. According to Bloomberg, issues with Chinese dealers who cancelled orders over sales targets and bonuses combined with what the publication calls aging models, could spell bad news for the German marque. "This looks like a pretty significant decline in growth compared to Mercedes and Audi," Bankhaus Metzler analyst Juergen Pieper told Bloomberg. "I think this will continue during the next few months." News Source: BloombergImage Credit: Matthias Schrader / AP Earnings/Financials Audi BMW Mercedes-Benz
