I have owned this beautiful G500 for almost 5 years, and have kept it under Mercedes Benz warranty the entire time (warranty expires 6/22/14). I wanted the vehicle to look exactly as it does, and it took some time and expense to get it there. The wheels are powder coated in textured black. The stereo/nav was replaced with a Kenwood, ipod friendly unit, with much updated nav, etc., amp and 10" sub in back. Obviously, this gives you much better navigation and a much, much better stereo. The Hannibal roof rack was not available in the US until I bought this one, and it was a couple of thousand dollars, but makes the vehicle. The rear spare tire is a BF Goodrich all-terrain like the others, and contains locking storage compartment, for that more off-road (and black) look. The four rolling tires are in great shape. It has the brush guard, light guards, etc. in black as well. The stock spare tire cover (chrome surround, etc) comes with the truck if you like that look, but it will not fit over the BFG tire, as well as the stock stereo. There are full weather tech rubber mats covering entire floor in vehicle and cargo area. The truck has 115,000 miles at this point, and we are reluctantly replacing it with something newer for a daily driver. Already have a 911 TT that just sits in the garage or this would be kept. I never get tired of looking at this car. If you are not familiar with G-wagens, you should familiarize yourself with them before bidding on this vehicle. They are amazing vehicles designed with specific purposes in mind. For example, this car will drive around on hills in the snow like there is no snow. They are amazing. However, they are not Range Rovers. They are not luxury grocery haulers. If you have not driven one, much less a 7 year old one, you should do so before buying this vehicle. It has been maintained as well as any G-wagen around, but they are noisy, rough-riding, somewhat uncivilized vehicles. Knowing that, there is not a more unique ride around. If you like attention, or you don't, you are going to get a lot of it. Email me with questions or to request more pictures at rnridout@ridoutlumber.com. I had a little trouble uploading some of the pictures for some reason so some did not make it into ad. There is one star on the windshield and one small ding that looks like it was caused by a golf ball beside the gas door. I have included a picture of each. The pockets on inside bottom of the two front doors have been removed because they creak constantly when driving. BTW, this car is not being sold b/c of the accident. After had already decided to sell, wife's foot stuck under brake because of UGG boot, and she hit car in school parking lot. Brush guard bent and hit passenger front fender crimping it slightly; nothing mechanical. All parts replaced, and repair carries lifetime warranty. You cannot tell it occurred. Car looks amazing. Happy bidding.

Smart brand might be doomed

Thu, Oct 25 2018

Reports are painting a less than rosy picture of the Smart brand's future. The Daimler-owned carmaker is going fully electric in 2020, but that might not be enough to keep it alive for long. Inside sources, quoted by Automobile Magazine, are saying Renault is likely to pull out of the partnership that created the current Smart ForTwo/Renault Twingo pairing introduced in 2014. The two rear-engined cars share a platform, and when the current Twingo is done for, Renault might want to part ways. In addition, Mercedes isn't willing to prop up Smart on its own, and there is a possibility that the entire Smart brand could be shuttered by 2026. A previous joint venture was the ForFour hatch co-developed with Mitsubishi, and despite the ForFour name living on in the current generation rear-engined car, the earlier FWD hatchback has quickly been forgotten. Not long ago, Smart presented its Forease open-top concept to give customers a glimpse of what future Smart cars would look like, but at its heart the Forease was still a current Smart dressed up with concept car details. The next-generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class is to be signed off in 2021 for a 2025 introduction, and it can be underpinned by a more flexible, fully scalable platform that could also serve to support a new entry-level Mercedes-Benz vehicle that could render the separate Smart brand pointless. Then there's Geely, who now owns nearly 10 percent of Daimler, and who is partnering with Daimler to launch a new "premium" ride-hailing venture in China. As Geely develops its mobility solutions, it is likely to keep an eye on Smart: Smart cars have been car-sharing staples around the world for quite a while, from users such as Car2Go. Automobile Magazine says that if a Smart is co-developed with Geely, it might suit the Chinese market well, but a global business case might be challenging. In any case, if Smart wants to survive beyond the current Renault partnership, the new model should be agreed upon quickly, and it must be based on a platform flexible enough to support full electric drive. Reportedly, there are now ongoing feasibility studies for a fully electric Daimler "U-Class," which would include a Smart-like three or five-door hatch with two wheelbase options, a ride-sharing shuttle with autonomous capabilities, and an urban delivery panel van. But Smart must justify itself for the upcoming decades, or the future Daimler products that occupy its niche will be wearing a three-pointed star instead.
