2006 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG SUV 5,5L V8

Highlights

  • 5.5-litre V8 producing 493 horsepower
  • Comprehensive Mercedes option list including AMG 18" sport rims and Designo leather interior
  • All duties and VAT paid for the EU

The Appeal

It began life as a no-nonsense, go-anywhere 4x4, and while it hasn't lost any of its capability, the Mercedes-Benz G Wagon has morphed into one of the most luxurious vehicles around. The G55 AMG is the ultimate high-end G, with a hand-assembled V8 engine and a cabin that mimics that of a private jet!

This highly specified 2006 W463 example was originally delivered to the USA and now comes with Emirate registration and Dutch import documents. Having all duties and VAT paid for by the EU, the next step is to register the Mercedes in your country of choice.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
The seller of this vehicle is registered as a business seller. And you are covered by Car & Classic’s Terms and Conditions
We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also  check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and  it's always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes so it's worth checking beforehand.
