2002 Mercedes-Benz G500

If you are looking at the title then looking at the photo of the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen and wondering what is going on, there is an explanation for that. Thanks to the W463 generation running from 1990 to 2018 and going through multiple, multiple facelifts, many parts from later models literally just bolt on to earlier years. That means with enough money, you can make a G500 that is old enough to buy cigarettes look like a 2018 G63 AMG. Wouldn’t you know, that is exactly what we have today. Sort of.

This 2002 G500 has been updated in order to try to look like a G63 AMG. It has the bigger bumpers and fender flares, bi-xenon lights, updated brush guard, LED tailights, 20″ wheels, and they even went as far as putting AMG badges on it. The thing is, they went this far, and forgot a few important bits that makes this thing look like a half-assed job. Even more disappointing, you open the doors and get a really quick reminder that this is still a 2002 with 128,000 miles on it.

I don’t understand this. They went through all the trouble of buying very expensive parts to try to fake a G63 AMG, but they didn’t finish the job. The truck still has the old 2002 mirrors, they didn’t source the little AMG badges for the side of the truck, they didn’t bother with fitting the exposed exhaust, and they missing the most obvious thing, the LEDs in the headlight buckets. Of all the things, they already had the headlight buckets off to fit the updated bi-xenons, but they didn’t spend the little money to finish something that is really noticeable. Even worse, open the doors and the interior looks bad. The seats have that really shiny look that you get when not treated and of course the buttons on the head unit is peeling. Not to mention you can see the wear on the steering wheel leather. The execution on this one is a D+, even more so seeing as the paint is all swirled up as well.

Asking $40,000 for this mess is insane. If this was a totally stock truck, it is probably somewhere between $26,000-29,000 if you really cleaned it up, but to ask $40,000 for a faux job that you didn’t even do right is crazy. I’m sure the brush guard and wheels alone were very expensive, then add in the paint work for the bumpers and fenders on top of their actual cost. I don’t know what people are thinking when they do projects like this. Maybe they aren’t.

    I actually don’t dislike these ‘upgraded’ older Gs. This one looks pretty good to me, i can get past the minor issues. The interiors though are always the problem – this one’s no exception. Looks too worn for 40k miles as well.

    I’m in the market for a G55 and this write up cracked me up because it summarize my thoughts when I run into it last week. Can’t stand fake anything; truth is, he would get more for it if he would’ve left it stock and improve its stock looks.

    I fail to comprehend why people do these knockoffs as well. If you want a G63, go buy one. If you can’t afford it, tuff.
