What is a 1979 Mercedes-Benz G-Class 250GD worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $30,000. That sits below the $38,000 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median. We rate confidence low: 2 public sales in a year is not enough to be firm, and the honest range is wide. Treat it as a starting point, not a valuation.

About the 1979 Mercedes-Benz G-Class 250GD
The 250 GD put a five cylinder diesel into the W460 body. It has a 2.5L engine making 83 hp. Factory figures are 0 to 62 mph in 27 seconds and a top speed of 79 mph. It was sold from 1987 to 1992. It replaced the older four cylinder 240 GD. The diesel is slow but known for long life. Collectors check the frame, the floors and the door seams for rust. They also look for an unmodified engine bay and original instruments. Late cars have the more developed W460 details. The model suits owners who want a working classic rather than a fast one.
