How to Find a Mercedes G500 Wagon for Sale in Texas
1. Call the Mercedes Benz dealerships nearest to you. Mercedes dealerships work through a network, and if one dealership does not have the model, body type or engine you are looking for, they will find you another that does. The dealership will call you with all the information on each car available, and you can make an appointment with them to see and test drive any or all of them. Some of the largest Mercedes dealerships in Texas are Mercedes Benz of Austin; Mercedes Benz of Houston and Mercedes Benz of Sugarland.
2. Check for deals online. Many dealerships that are not solely for Mercedes will still sell them on their lot. If you are looking for a used car, for example, you may find a G500 at a Ford or Honda dealership because someone traded it in. These cars will be less expensive than those at a Mercedes dealership, but they may not come with the warranty in tact. Check with the original dealership from which the car came to see what paperwork can be salvaged.
3. Call private sellers. People looking to sell G500s will advertise online at such sites as Texas Cars Classified and through newspaper sites like The Dallas News. Be sure to order a Carfax report or another vehicle history report before you purchase from a private seller, because individuals are not held to the same legal standards as dealerships. Private sellers also may not know all of the cars history. A plus to buying a car from a private seller is that many times the original Mercedes dealership warranty still stands.
4. Check auction sites like eBay and, specifically in Texas, www.lonestarauctioneers.com. You can also go through the government site at Gov-Auctions.org. Often you can bid on a vehicle and get it for less than if you were buying it from either a dealership or an individual. These bids will normally have a set price you must bid over, but that price rarely exceeds that of a car being sold in a tradition manner.
