About the 1998 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G500

The G 500 brought the V8 into the regular G range. It has a 5.0L V8 making 292 hp and 336 lb-ft. Top speed is 118 mph. It was built from 1998 to 2008. Sources disagree on its 0 to 62 mph time, so that is left open. It sits between the six cylinder cars and the AMG G 55. Some collectors see it as the best balance of power and simplicity before the supercharged era. Look for rust in the frame and rear body. Check for gearbox shift quality and wear in the interior trim. Records and original paint matter. Compare it with the G 55 AMG.
