My wife’s TDI is scheduled for the October buyback, so I decided to get her a bit of an upgrade because we needed a truck (or something similar) anyway since we’ve been amassing rental units as investments: ![http://i66.tinypic.com/2npwti.jpg](http://i66.tinypic.com/2npwti.jpg) 2014 G550, w/ the Designo seats and the other shit that they usually cram in these things. I wanted the naturally aspirated V8 rather than the new ones with the downsized twin turbo V8 solely because I trust Mercedes turbo motors roughly as far as I can throw them. Getting picked up today outside LA and dropped off in our driveway roughly a week from now. I wanted one that hadn’t seen the dog shit northeast salt yet and this ended up being cheaper than anything on the east coast anyway even including shipping with the price I negotiated it to. ---

Fantastic. :tup: Years ago when I bought my last gen RR I considered one of these, but for the money they really had nothing that compared options wise to the RR and were still more expensive. The nav was brutally slow and low resolution for example. I have no idea what improvements they’ve made since however. ---

The nav was brutally slow and low resolution for example. I have no idea what improvements they’ve made since however. They still blow completely compared to a Range Rover in almost every way. They just depreciate slower and break less. I would’ve gotten a RR instead if she wanted one but she prefers the styling of the G and the smaller track/chassis. I’m not complaining either way. ---

![http://i68.tinypic.com/4r87xg.jpg](http://i68.tinypic.com/4r87xg.jpg) Got this fker in the driveway as of yesterday. Funny story though: the dealership forgot to send the title. I’m not 100% sure how you run a legitimate Mercedes factory dealership in Orange County and don’t understand to include a title with the sale, but hey, fuck me I guess. Making them overnight it for tomorrow. ---

I would assume its standard practice to not send a transferrable title in the vehicle that’s being sold and transported. ---

> [@XwalkerX](#): > > I would assume its standard practice to not send a transferrable title in the vehicle that’s being sold and transported. I would agree generally except for the fact that they sent us an envelope full of other documents several days ago and forgot to put the title in the envelope. ---

BS if they mailed paperwork and not the title, then again I’ve spoken with many title clerks who were out to lunch [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gelandewagen/274136.md?page=2)
