1998 Mercedes-Benz W463 G-Class (1990-2018)

This 1998 Mercedes-Benz G320 is a Japanese-market wagon that was imported to Canada in 2015 before being acquired by the seller in 2020. It is finished in Glacier White over black leather upholstery and is powered by a 3.2-liter M112 V6 linked with a five-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and locking front, center, and rear differentials. The bumpers, wheel arch flares, and various exterior trim pieces have been wrapped in black vinyl, and beadlock-capable 16″ Hutchinson wheels have been added along with projector style headlamps, auxiliary lights, PUR-style side mirrors, and a tow ball. Further equipment includes a power sunroof, air conditioning, cruise control, a Kienzle Automotive head unit, and power-adjustable and heated front seats accompanied by a split-folding second row bench and inward-facing rear jump seats. The mounts for the engine and transmission are said to have been replaced in preparation for the sale. This W463 has 130k kilometers (~81k miles) and is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, a CarVX report, a clean Carfax report, and British Columbia registration in the seller’s name. The truck left the factory finished in Glacier White (143), and the front grille, headlamp surrounds, wheel arch flares, and bumpers have been painted black. Projector-style headlamps have been added along with bumper-mounted auxiliary lights. The front bumper incorporates a clevis pin hitch, while a tow ball has been affixed to the rear unit. The license bracket has been relocated to the top of the rear cargo door, and further details include a power sunroof, headlamp and turn signal cages, PUR-style side mirrors, and a single side-exit exhaust outlet. The beadlock-capable 16″ Hutchinson alloy wheels have been powder-coated black and are wrapped with 285/75 General Grabber X3 tires. A spare is mounted to the rear cargo door. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. The cabin features power-adjustable and heated front bucket seats as well as a split-folding second-row bench upholstered in black leather. A Kienzle Automotive head unit has been added, and the wood interior trim has been wrapped in black vinyl. Further amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, all-weather floor mats, and power windows and mirrors. The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel is said to have been refurbished and frames VDO instrumentation including a central 220-km/h speedometer flanked by a 7k-rpm tachometer and supplementary gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates 130k kilometers (~81k miles), approximately 15k of which have been added under current ownership. The rear cargo area is fitted with inward-facing jump seats. The 3.2-liter M112 V6 was factory rated at 212 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. The seller notes that the engine mounts were replaced and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. Power is sent to all four wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission linked to a dual-range transfer case and locking front, center, and rear differentials. The seller notes that the transmission mount was replaced in anticipation of the sale. A tool kit will accompany the truck along with manufacturer’s literature that can be viewed in the gallery. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in British Columbia from its first entry in January 2016. A copy of a CarVX report is viewable in the photo gallery.
