There's an Ebay seller in St Petersburg, FL selling a lot of older G's. The only problem is that all too frequently the VIN's he provides do not match up with what he claims for the trucks. Stinks to high heaven and it ain't fish from the Gulf of Mexico. Buyer Beware!

The US Department of Homeland Security recently performed raids on several dozen owners of "gray market" Land Rover Defenders all around the country, confiscating and crushing their vehicles. Rumor has it that G-wagen owners are next. The Rover raid largely stemmed from a crooked importer who was substituting older Euro VINs on newer vehicles to get the import exemption for them.
You have to be VERY careful with pre-2002 G-wagens and Land Rover Defenders.....

He's providing European VIN's which can be looked up in the EPCnet. The VIN's do not at all match what he claims for many of the trucks - i.e. year model and engine. Of course, there could have been diesel engine swaps, but why not advise this to potential buyers! When he is asked about this, he does not respond. 'Nuff said.
