The gwagens are tempting! There was a g300 turbodiesel (om606) on the west coast for a real good price last year, it still haunts me!

e500 4-matics are common. There will always be plenty around. The w211 e55 wagon, OTOH, is a relatively rare beast. Especially in interesting colors. Most are black or silver or grey. There is a beautiful metallic blue one that runs around Silverlake, neighborhood in L.A.), I just want it.
Pretty sure that the G-wagon you are referring to was my friend's, was it silver? If so, I drove it a bit before he sold it. Not real impressive with the weight and gearing on it, that engine in a w210 sedan is super-sweet. It was slow and got so-so fuel mileage, but I suppose a gas V-8 G-wagon is really thirsty so there you have it. I cannot what those things are good for other than looking cool in Aspen, Colorado or something(?)
It was on eBay and it went for about $34k IIRC.
