Scam warning
Hi all, just joined and massive thanks already for the amazing unconditional advice from organisational staff even before I joined!
I saw my first G Wagon in Harijuku, Tokyo about 15 years ago and knew right then I had to have one, one day - it was beautiful and in that very dark blue/black colour which looked awesome (am sure there is a technical name for the colour?)
I know nothing about the vehicles but am about to purchase one and crazily enough it is a Japanese import, from Tokyo and in that very same blue/black colour G500- wouldn't it be just great if it was the very same vehicle!
Because I know nothing about the vehicles and am already learning so much from this forum I am considering however, whether to start off slowly with a much older (and cheaper!)1990 GD 300 RHD- find my way a bit before investing in a 2000 500 LHD with significant power.
Has anyone come across this vehicle - GD 300 1990 'H720 ARC' manual - metallic brown from Gloucestershire?
As I don't know really very accurately what I am looking for it would be fabulous to know that the vehicle checks out.
I look forward to acquiring my first 'G' very soon - I thank you for all your assistance already and I look forward to learning and experiencing the 'G' World !
They can't even get the part time 4wd bit right!
I found Pistonheads quite good at taking down an offending ad when I contacted them once before about a SCAM ad.
well done mike !!!
I have it listed for sale in Amersham Bucks 03/13 at £13995 from a company called Autotrade UK
They're not being as greedy now

Maybe Admin here should change the title of this thread and make it a Sticky?
The G-Wagen referred to at the beginning of this thread is legit and is owned by a lapsed member here.
what a screwed up world we live in !!
glad this one was sorted out

I think Axel should get the unofficial title of 'Man in Black' - Protecting the GWOA from the scum of the Universe.
Well done Axel another member saved!
