Meet The Affordable Mercedes G-Wagon that costs less than a used Honda Accord 

I have never seen a used Honda Accord for $38K. :-/

Looks like these guys are no longer in business. Or they decided that the internet is just a fad and they no longer needed a website.

This was a scammy/shady company that recently filed for bankruptcy. Way to promote quality businesses guys. 🙄

Man, this guy has my dream job/business. I'd love to play with funky imported trucks for a living.

4:20 nice oil leak

40 grand for a truck that's got water spots and rust under the hood...please.

They appear to be pretty well done. I would recommend detailing the engine bays or at the very least pressure washing them. You should consider employing a finish carpenter properly to trim out the wood work. Everything looks 95% there but you fell 5 yards short of the goal line on the fine details.

"So this comes from Central America, right?" "Yes, this comes from Brazil..." FACEPALM

You can get a 2003-2005 G500 in great condition under 40K...

The Ferrari Red G-Wagon has a sizable puddle of oil underneath it. $38k for that?

To bad they close down I try to look them up

In my home country, G wagon was a very common work vehicle and totally spartan unlike the G wagon in the states. We didn't even have AC or radio in them

38 grand for a g wagon that leaks oil.. yeah hard pass.

TFL: if you are going to keep this video up, at least mention the unethical business practices and complaints filed against Mastodon. Wouldn’t you agree that this is the right thing to do?

That is just one cool video. You guys make lot of good, fun, educational, honest and entertaining videos and I have seen just about all of them but this one is one of my favorites. Keep up the good work.

I used one of these rigs in Afghanistan for a bit, great 4x4, but I have a 66 D200 225 NP435 that I paid 600 bucks for I put in a 30 gal tank in the bed and I'm good for about 300 miles. plus its emp proof! Id love a gwagon but man even 14K sounds like a lot of money to me.....

Damn it I wanna CHOKE the person who did the camera work for this video. All these awesome builds, and literally every camera shot was too damn tight to be able to see anything.

This is one of the best episodes you have ever done!

Great video Roman. I really enjoyed the overview of all the variation. I never realised that an '89 was available anywhere. I'd hope to see these old school model up gold mine hill to see how they do.

Thank you for including prices. Your video skills have been much improved.

Terrific video. thanx. And it's nice to know he already has customers in North Carolina!

"Affordable" and "G Wagon" do not belong in the same sentence. If it's affordable there's something wrong with it.

@4:23 Now standard on all newer high end G Wagons-this older model Wagon has the ultra rare “German Shepard” option which allows the driver to hike the right rear wheel and mark it’s territory/parking spot at the local Whole Foods.

Awesome shop and trucks! Bet hanging and checking those rides out was a blast. I think a lot of the new stuff is cool but I get really excited when I see an older unique/customized 4X4. they have an heirloom feel. Something you might be able to keep around for generations. Great vid!

So the G wagon went from 87hp to 612hp in a very very similar chassis

That extended G wagon was like the ultimate overlander, camper and wagon in one

That was amazing! Glad to find the place.

These are pretty cool projects! Keep up the good work

A 38k truck with a giant oil leak

WOW!!! I love this place. I'd be in heaven there ;-)

Awesome video!!! They had some other trucks on their yard that looked sweet too- cheers

This was a great episode. Thanks guys.

I guess we are in middle east are blessed to be able to buy a 2016 Land cruiser 70 with 4.2 inline 6 diesel , 5 speed manual , locking hubs , front and rear locking diff , snorkel , dual fuel tank for 35,000$ brand new from the show room

I watch many of your videos, but why show newer G Wagon in thumbnail titled "costs less that used honda" thats what made me click this video. These tactics make you lose followers but get views for sure.

Bad ass! Man I’d love to visit CO and help work on these.

One of the Geländewagen (@ 6:05) - an army original - has an old sticker with Danish text. Just the like ones I drove when I was in the army 36 years ago. This car is fun to drive off road. Could do as our 2nd family car.

You can get a Steyr Daimlr Puch ( swiss army G class) in splendid condition for 15k in germany, got 120hp, absolute bargain

38K for a really pitted paint job

The first G wagon with the camo colour was used in the Danish army. It can be seen on the service number on the side

so awesome. I'm coming to see these guys within the next 2 days.

OMG, 57.657 was my old car (gelandewagen 240 short) from when I was in the Army back in Denmark... wow

you could have made this a ten hour vid and i'd be glued to the screen for every second - thanks!

I recommend the short wheel base with two/three doors. Handles better and makes better use of the ground clearance

OM 314 engine is 3.758 ccm displacement, 4 cyl 4-stroke 2 ohv direct injection diesel rated at 80 or 85 mhp (depends), but could easily be tuned to 100 hp -

like how all of them have a oil puddle underneath

the red one is imported here from denmark :)

Awesome place to be. Great video!

Cool place he got there. Custom importing of vehicles and the retrofitting can be very profitable.

$14,900 for a used 25 year old beat up vehicle? You're out of your mind.

There is an oil leak under the red g wagon at 4:23. I certainly wouldn't want that one.

The G wagen with the Cummins is really cool

I know where I'M going when i when the lotto. This guy has got the right idea. Great vehicles strong and never break down

Not sure where your finding used hondas that cost more than 15,000.

i didn't know brazil was in central America lol

I love those old Toyota land cruisers, I want one for a project vehicle while I daily my 2014 mid travel Tacoma off-road. Get one of those cheap and buy a sports car daily

Funny, we had a Mastodon G-Wagon join our local AZ Land Cruiser group back in May for one of our monthly off-road treks. Cosmetically it looked pretty good. I gave thumbs up to the period correct plaid upholstery. About 3/4 of the way into the trip it lost either the slave or master clutch cylinder. I guess the owner made it home after we setup camp. As we were all in 80 series, with one converted 40, none of us had extra fluid we could give the guy. Before we started, he was telling us how well the truck had been gone through before he received it. Kinda made me wonder after the failure, and looking under the hood, how well Mastodon really baselines these things. Failures do happen though. Oh, and BTW, of the 15 or so LCs, zero issues. :-)~

Damn, that this is a long wheel based fj pick up basically, nice

so what advantage does that G have ( the one for sale for almost 40 grand) over a 2002 or 2003 which there are plenty of on auto trader for high 20s and low 30s?

Great work guys, maybe in few years I will buy one!!!

I love companies that do stuff like this. Very cool.

That's the Puch version not the Mercedes.....both are made in the same place.....but the Puch it's much less equipped.

LOL .. @ 06:06 there's a Danish sticker saying : "WARNING : EL (electric) welding and fast charging may not be done before the accumulator cables are removed." Well, we know which millitary those are from then. :)

Neat! Enjoyed this one. Any chance you've fellas can do something similar with Nissan Patrols of yesteryear? -Pidge

Half the price, but 30 years old. And with all the fun that comes with it...

"These come out of Central America... Yeah! These come out of Brazil.... " yeaaahh..... nope.

I want that G wagon ambulance!!!!

The car in the thumbnail looks much much better than the current model!

We had these back when I was in the danish Air Force, and you simply can't destroy them. Trust me, we really tried :)

Interesting and different. Also Roman actually did a good job in this video.

Never heard of a Honda Accord costing 38k

Love this video!!! Best content!!

wow... love the g-wagon.. great vid

I wouldn't pay a dime of the asking price. Hoping to get a fj80 land cruiser

Freaking cool stuff! Who doesn't love G Wagons?

I like the look of the bfg muds on those military rims

6 million times better than every other G-Wagon I see putting around South Beach, where I live

I've always wanted a 2 door g wagon

WTF! After reading the title I was literally going to watch the video and get on the phone a buy one of these over the phone. $68k! I'll take a used gas GM 3/4 ton for $25k instead!

cool video guys kee it up!

Actually the first "G-Wagon" which is shown is not a Mercedes G Wagon, it is a Peugeot P4 (which has the same chassis and the same engine).

they don't recondition the engine? it looks really dirty

That is a Danish Army G-wagon. The camo one I mean, it has a sticker in Danish.

Nice to see our brazilian built cars out there for you to know! The legendary Toyota Bandeirante is a sister car to the old Land Cruiser.

These are great... I would love to own one of these

2:43 tbh I kind of want that Range Rover behind you

They cost about a 1000 dollars on auction in Denmark...:-)

We used to have an '86 g wagon as a shop truck and that thing was gutless. I mean 2nd gear up a hill gutless. 80 hp in something that heavy was not much. 5cyl turbo swap is an absolute must just to keep up with traffic.

fantastic video

"camo truck" is a Danish 240GD with 72hp...slow as tectonic plates, but absolutely indestructible.

Dude you can get those camouflage G-Wagons in germany for less than 4k

Love these type of tour videos! Especially when its multiple vehicles! Keep em' coming!

awesome fun to see these

0:14 "-this are from Central America" how do you squeeze such a big country in América del Centro?

This guys is out of business

Awesome episode!

Amazing stuff!!

How does this work? They say $38k, I say $10k and the deal is done at $15k I suppose?

I like the one with the cummins.

Ex Dutch military were never called Mercedes. All G wagons are built in Austria by Steyr and sold as Steyr-Puch or Peugeot. You can see the grille and lots of details are different. The red car was Swedish, according to the yellow decal inside.

Nice video, but please do something about the sound quality and background noise. Thanks!
