While the Mercedes-Benz Swabian-built G-Class has become a bloated, overpriced daily driver for celebrities in the U.S., the underpinnings of these very capable vehicles made them the vehicle of choice for many militaries across the globe.  We came across a 1993 Mercedes-Benz 250GD “Wolf” originally listed in April 2021 on Craigslist in Edison, New Jersey reported to be a former German Military vehicle that has been retired, restored, and imported to the U.S.  While our typical pricing sources do not provide valuations for these vehicles, not surprisingly Bring A Trailer auctioned a fair share and the asking price for our example appear to be in line with several of the results achieved on that site.
