An Idiot's Guide to the Mercedes G500

[Kxji]

The G-Class is something you love & hate at the same time. My favorite part of it is when the central lock unlocks or locks.

I found the cheapest gold Dubsta in Los Santos

Dunno why I love the look of these so much -, -

Have a 2002 for five years now. Finest vehicle I've ever owned and longest I've ever kept a car. These are the closest thing to old school benz quality. It has two cup holders in the front, yours is missing one. The glitches are generally minor and service is pretty straight forward.

The door gaps are not bad build quality, but an example of its purpose built design. Put a front wheel up on a big rock, and without the door gap your drivers door would be stuck closed. Over time you would find the paint worn due to contact, door lock damage, etc. The gaps are by design for this purpose built off road vehicle.

I've had my 2003 G500 for 14 years. Never had much go wrong. Just hit 70K miles. It's a keeper.

Next week: I bought a G500 and plan on LS Swapping it.

My 2006 E350 has had the following electrical issues: Tele-aid malfunction, traction control malfunction, cruise control malfunction, and turn signal malfunction. I didn’t take it in for any of these issues, they all resolved themselves...

You and Vin Wiki are my absolute favorite YouTube channels over the thousands of car channels on YouTube, and over the of being a youtube viewer. I love many channels of course as do others; but as I said you’re Channel is amazing! You are one of the most real people on here; not scared to be yourself, or poke fun of your own judgement on buying these hoopties. If you could do a collaboration with them(Vin Wiki) on your personal stories about these cars you love and care for, my life would be complete! Keep it up man!!

Can't beat your style of reviewing cars. Great content as always!

Went to my parents recently to find my moms 05 G sitting in the garage collecting dust. Roof liner sagging, interior elements broken, window regulators inoperable. From the looks of it, repair seems to be super easy as all the fasteners are in the open. I just wish she'd let me get my hands on it.

Update: I got my hands on it. Replaced like 10% of things and getting sound deadening in while it's stripped.

rents a 35k 12 year old g wagon with 3 malfunctions and first thing he does is take it off-roading lmao

"This 5400 pound rolling bank vault"

Is the most accurate description of a G-Wagen I've ever heard

[shahzain]

My family has had an exact same mercedes g500 but in black for well 13 years, and runs like a champ. I would value our vehicle at much higher than $40k, considering the rarity, and old class luxury. we bought a 2019 g63 amg just 3 years ago, which has the interior of an s class, but the same presence as our older one. No matter what gwagen, there is always something special about it.

[kylehansen]

Great videos Hoovster. You are the only one I follow on YouTube. My favorite are when you make repairs, trace error codes, etc.

[compactc]

I'm honestly one of those people who would rather drive a large, body on frame, V8 powered SUV as my daily driver. That makes this one of the only Mercedes that I really like, but who knows if I'll ever buy one.

[nosoupforyou]

Nearly 200k on my 2002 Geländewagen - would never let her go. Absolute beast of daily driver! If maintained and serviced properly they are bullet proof.

[IUKB]

Thank you for making this!! I'm trying to get my hands on a G wagon myself.

[johnsomers]

Your videos are not"stupid", they are fantastic and addictively entertaining! Keep up the "Hooptie" goodies coming!

what's the dougscore on this bad boy?
