I saw my first G500 today at the Mercedes-Benz dealership. I have ordered a 2002 ML500 that should be in mid Dec. I stopped by the dealer to see about ordering a few accessorys; front bra, windshield sunshade, mud guards etc. My salesman asked me if I had a few minutes that they just got in a G500 that was sold already. It was Black with Charcoal leather. It was really nice. The looks of it are growing on me.

Mark,
 
Did you find any accessories for the G500 available? I don't think there is a bra, mud guards... let us know if you were successful.
 
BTW - What color are you getting?
 
Thanks - Frank

Frank, I'm getting the ML not the G, so I didn't check the G for accessories. The dealership's new brochure didn't list the new style front bra for the 2002 ML yet. The counter guy is going to look it up and let me know if it's available and what they will charge for it. My dealer doesn't sell the "invisible bra/mask" which seems interesting.
 
My ML500 will be Desert Silver with Java leather, will have bi-xenons w/headlamp washers, parktronic, bose 6cd, M3 (Convenience pkg), M5 (Sunroof pkg), M7 (third seat)and the Nav CD collection.

Sorry, I should have read your post better! Nice color combo you should be very happy.

You should also join the G and ML forums at:

There's lots of good info on both Edmund's and MBNZ and you won't miss a beat!

Take care - Frank

I placed a deposit for a ML500 on 11/14/01 and still haven't heard about a build date. Does it sound right and how long does it usually take to get a build date?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Not without ripping the cheesy plastic bumper caps off, and the running boards as well. There is nothing that even comes close to the G right off the floor.

Except for a Unimog.

I am planning on running the Rubicon Trail this summer in my G. I have been told that while Unimogs have made it, they are a little too wide for some sections. So my Mog will stay at home until the next Moab adventure.
 
Why don't you come on down in the Disco? We'll see what that baby's made of!

#79 of 263 Yeah! by nanuq

Boy would I love to run the Rubicon in Anuqa. Take a look here for some great shots of an old Series Rover! It *almost* made it... broken half-shaft, from the looks of it.
