Overview of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class G450d AMG Line Package
This is a January 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G450d AMG Line Package, chassis code 3CA-465310C, entered at USS Yokohama as lot 84076 for the Japanese auction on 6 October 2026. It is a left hand drive, 4WD, diesel five door finished in pearl, and the sheet records it as an official dealer import. The odometer on the auction sheet reads 11,648 km, which is approximately 7,238 miles, and the car carries auction grade 6 with interior grade A. The feed rounds the mileage to 12,000 km, but the sheet reading is the one to rely on.
For anyone looking for a Mercedes-Benz G-Class G450d that is barely run in, the sheet tells a clean story. The sales points say the car was bought directly from its owner and that this is its first appearance at auction. The only inspector comment is that the cabin is lightly dirty, and the damage diagram shows stone chips at the front and a probable small scratch at the rear. A dealer statutory inspection was carried out in January 2026 and the record is present. Everything below is based on the auction sheet, the data supplied and the six photographs, and where something is not confirmed we say so.
The Drive Review of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class G450d
We have not driven this car, so this section describes the model rather than this particular example. The G-Class is one of the few vehicles still sold new with a separate ladder frame, solid body cabin and a genuine off road specification, and that heritage shapes everything about how it feels. The upright seating position, the flat glass and the square bonnet give excellent visibility, and the three locking differentials that have long been part of the G-Class recipe make it far more capable away from the tarmac than most buyers will ever test. Since the 2018 generation the front axle has been independent, which transformed the on road manners compared with the old car, while the rear remains a live axle.
The G450d uses a 3.0 litre turbocharged inline six diesel. Diesel torque suits this vehicle perfectly. It pulls a car of well over two tonnes with a calm, unhurried surge rather than the frantic delivery of the AMG petrol models, and the smooth six cylinder layout keeps refinement high. Power goes through a nine speed automatic, and the sheet records the shift as CAT, a column mounted selector, which is the traditional G-Class arrangement. The cabin of this generation is a long way from the spartan older cars, with a wide digital display, a touchpad controller on the centre console and turbine style air vents, all visible in the interior photographs.
It will never feel like a sports saloon. There is body roll, the steering is more measured than sharp and the shape generates wind noise at speed. That is part of the appeal. Enthusiasts value the G-Class because it feels engineered for a purpose and then dressed in luxury, and the AMG Line Package adds the sportier appearance with multi spoke alloy wheels, which are visible in the photographs.
Auction Details for This G-Class
The car is lot 84076 at USS Yokohama, with an auction date in Japan of 6 October 2026. The bidding deadline for Autoselecta customers is 9pm UK time on Monday 5 October. All bids must be submitted before 9PM UK time the evening before auction.
The auction start price is ¥14,500,000. No close sold results are on record for comparable cars, so there is no reliable recent sale to measure this one against. The current minimum bid and the estimated total cost to your country are worked out live and can change, so please use the price panel on this page rather than relying on any figure in this report. A start price is simply where bidding opens, and it does not indicate what the car will finally sell for.
The sheet is titled as an imported car prime corner. The registration is shown as Nerima 355 Ru 1110 and the frame number is W1N4653101X026271. The shaken (Japanese roadworthiness inspection) is valid until 30 January 2028.

Factory Features and Equipment
The sales points on the sheet list the Manufaktur Programme and the Manufaktur Programme Plus, a body coloured spare tyre ring, a Burmester sound system, a sunroof, Opalith white metallic paint and the AMG Line Package. The sheet does not say which individual Manufaktur items were specified, so we cannot list them. The Burmester audio and the sunroof are confirmed by the sales points only, and neither can be verified from the photographs.
The photographs show a rear mounted spare wheel with a body coloured cover bearing the Mercedes star, side steps, round headlamps, dark tinted rear glass and multi spoke two colour alloy wheels. Inside, they show a widescreen digital instrument and media display, a centre console touchpad, turbine style air vents, green ambient lighting and quilted leather seating. The equipment box on the sheet (the labels for sunroof, genuine alloy wheels, power steering, power windows, leather, TV, navigation and airbags) is fully pre printed with no separate marks, so no equipment is recorded from that box. We therefore do not confirm navigation, TV or other items beyond what the sales points list and the photographs show. Floor mats are noted among the points to note.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
The sheet reads as follows. Lot number 84076. First registration January 2025 (Reiwa 7). Model Mercedes-Benz G-Class, grade G450d AMG Line Package, chassis code 3CA-465310C. Engine size 3000 cc, body five door, drive 4WD. Auction grade 6 and interior grade A. Shaken expiry 30 January 2028. Shift CAT, air conditioning AAC. Odometer 11,648 km. Exterior colour original pearl, colour code 885. Fuel diesel. New car service book with warranty: present, circled. Import type: dealer. Steering left. Recycling deposit ¥21,640. Seating for five. Registration Nerima 355 Ru 1110. Frame number W1N4653101X026271.
Sales points: bought directly from the owner and entered at auction for the first time; Manufaktur Programme; Manufaktur Programme Plus; body coloured spare tyre ring; Burmester sound and sunroof; Opalith white metallic paint; AMG Line Package.
Points to note: dealer statutory inspection carried out in January 2026 (Reiwa 8), record present; floor mats; warranty booklet, owner's manual, service book and spare key to be sent on separately later (後送). The inspector's report contains one comment: cabin lightly dirty.
There is an important detail on documents. The new car service book with warranty is circled as present, yet the points to note say the warranty booklet, manual, service book and spare key follow later. In practice, these items are not with the car at the auction. A spare key is therefore not confirmed as being in the car. Buyers should treat the documents as expected rather than in hand, and should not assume that a Japanese dealer warranty applies outside Japan.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The diagram carries only two markings. At the front centre, near the rear of the bonnet and the base of the windscreen, the inspector has written トビ and A. トビ is the Japanese shorthand for stone chips, from stones thrown up in driving, and the A indicates a light mark. The exact panel is not certain from the sheet, but the position is where the bonnet meets the windscreen. In plain English, this is minor chipping at the leading edge of the car, which is common on any vehicle that has covered motorway miles. The photographs do not make individual chips visible at this resolution.
At the rear centre, below the rear of the drawing, there is a lone A. In auction notation A means a scratch. A1 is small, A2 is a scratch and A3 is large, but no number is written here, so the size is not stated. The position suggests the rear bumper, though it could possibly refer to the rear or spare wheel area. We would expect it to be a light mark, but it should not be described as more than the sheet says.
No dents, repainted panels, replaced panels, repair marks, rust or corrosion are marked on the diagram, and the inspector's report mentions no accident repair. Overall this is a very tidy near new car, closer to collector grade condition for a modern vehicle than to a worn usable example, with only the light stone chips and probable rear scratch to note. The photographs show a clean white body with consistent panel gaps and no visible damage, although they are auction hall images and cannot replace close inspection.
Interior Condition of This Mercedes-Benz G-Class
The interior grade is A, the best on the scale, and the only inspector comment is that the cabin is lightly dirty. That reads as surface dirt, such as dust or light marking from handling, rather than wear, and the sheet records no tears, stains, burns, odours or damage to the dashboard or headlining. Floor mats are noted as present.
The photographs support this. The front photograph shows the dashboard, steering wheel with the star, the widescreen display, centre console and green ambient lighting, with soft trim and quilted leather on the seat. The rear seat photograph shows diamond quilted, perforated leather in a lighter grey, clean bolsters and the rear door panel with ambient lighting. We cannot read the dashboard mileage display in the images, so the odometer figure relies on the sheet. Interior colour is not stated on the sheet, and seat condition is judged only from the two interior photographs supplied.
Japanese Auction Grades Explained
Japanese auction houses inspect each car and give an overall grade and a separate interior grade. Grade 6 sits at the top end of the scale and is reserved for vehicles in near new condition, typically with very low mileage and almost nothing to report. It is a higher assessment than the more familiar grade 5 or 4.5 cars. The interior grade runs from A for the best condition downwards, so interior A means the cabin was judged to be in excellent order. The data also gives the exterior grade as 6.
These grades are the opinion of the auction inspector at the time of inspection. They are useful because they come from an independent party and are written down for every bidder, but they are not a guarantee and not a mechanical warranty. The sheet does not report any mechanical comment on the engine, gearbox, suspension or underbody, so the mechanical condition is not confirmed beyond the dealer inspection record noted in January 2026.
Model History of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class
The G-Class, or Geländewagen, began life in 1979 as a utilitarian off roader developed with Steyr Daimler Puch in Graz, Austria, where it is still built. For decades the shape barely changed. It became a favourite of armies, expeditions and later, fashion conscious owners who wanted a vehicle that looked unlike anything else on the road. The W463 generation of 1989 added more luxury, and AMG versions turned it into a status icon.
The current generation arrived in 2018 with an all new body that looked almost identical but shared very little with the old car. It brought independent front suspension, a wider track, a far more modern interior and the nine speed automatic. The 465 chassis code on this car belongs to the latest evolution of that platform, and the range has since broadened to include an electric G 580 with EQ technology. The G450d is the straight six diesel, the version many owners choose for its blend of torque, economy and refinement.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
A 2025 car is not a classic, and it would be wrong to present it as one. What can be said is that the G-Class has an unusually strong following. The shape has barely changed in more than four decades, it has been built in the same Austrian factory throughout, and the older cars have held their appeal in markets all over the world. Enthusiasts value the ladder frame, locking differentials and genuine capability, and the car's character has no real modern rival in the same form.
This specification has some appeal of its own. It is the diesel six, which is the calmer and more usable choice. It is finished in white with the AMG Line styling, and the sales points show it was specified with the Manufaktur Programme, the Burmester audio and a sunroof. With only 11,648 km on the clock and a grade 6 rating, it sits close to new condition, which is the state buyers of any future desirable G-Class would hope to find. We do not predict future values and this should not be thought of as an investment. It is a vehicle to be driven and enjoyed.
Market demand for good G-Class examples from Japan is global, and cars with low mileage and complete records are not easy to find. Official dealer imports with Japanese service history tend to be well maintained, which is why this sort of car attracts attention from buyers in many countries.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
Start with the paperwork. On this car the new car service book, warranty booklet, owner's manual and spare key are to be sent on separately, so confirm what arrives and that the service entries match the January 2026 dealer inspection record. Check the number of keys received.
Then look at the paint. The stone chips at the front and the probable scratch at the rear are small, but ask for close up photographs of the bonnet edge and rear bumper if they matter to you. Inspect the underbody and the wheel arches for any sign of off road use, and check the tyres and the alloy wheels, as the sheet does not comment on them. On the mechanical side, confirm the diesel exhaust treatment system is working normally, check the air suspension or damper behaviour if fitted, and test all the electronics, because the G-Class has a lot of them. The equipment box on the sheet records nothing, so check that features such as navigation, the Burmester audio and the sunroof work as expected.
Finally, check the rules in your own country. This is a left hand drive diesel built to Japanese market specification, and local emissions, registration and safety requirements vary widely. Map data and some connected services may also need attention on a Japanese market car.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japanese cars are known for being well looked after, and a G-Class that has covered only 11,648 km, has a dealer inspection record and has a first owner history is the kind of vehicle many buyers abroad cannot easily find locally. The auction system makes it possible to see an independent inspection sheet and photographs before bidding, and the sheet is far more detailed than the advert for a typical used car.
This car also offers a chance to buy a barely used example of a current model, with Japanese specification equipment such as the Manufaktur options noted on the sheet. Your own import rules decide whether it can be registered, so please check them before bidding. Because no close sold results are on record, we recommend you use the price panel on this page to see where the bidding stands and what the total cost to you would be.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
Buying from a Japanese auction follows a clear sequence. First you choose a car and read the auction sheet, with its translation, to understand the grade, mileage, inspector comments and damage diagram. Then you place a maximum bid through Autoselecta, using the price panel to see the cost to your country. Bids must be in before the deadline, and the auction itself is run in Japan, so the car sells to the highest bidder at or below your maximum.
If the bid wins, payment is arranged, the car is collected from the auction and prepared for export, including deregistration in Japan. Shipping to your port is then organised, either roll on roll off or in a container depending on destination. On arrival, customs clearance, any local compliance work and registration follow, and the rules and taxes depend on your own country. It is sensible to read your national import requirements before you bid, including emissions standards, left hand drive rules and any age or mileage conditions.
Why Import Through Autoselecta
Autoselecta gives buyers direct access to the Japanese auctions, with every auction sheet translated and checked by Autoselecta so that you can see what the inspector actually wrote. Our team can help with vehicle sourcing, bidding assistance and the export paperwork, arrange shipping, and keep you updated on the car's progress, including tracking where it is available. We can support you on arrival and with the import process in your own country, and we stay in touch through each stage.
We do not make claims about guaranteed savings, because every car and every destination is different. What we do offer is transparency about the car, clear communication and experience of the process.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale, but they are still used vehicles. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide, not a mechanical warranty, and it records the inspector's opinion at the time of inspection. For this car the inspector reported a lightly dirty cabin, stone chips at the front near the bonnet and windscreen, and a probable small scratch at the rear with no size given. The sheet does not describe engine, gearbox or underbody condition, and the warranty booklet, owner's manual, service book and spare key are to be sent on separately later, so they are not confirmed as being with the car. Even a near new vehicle may need servicing or checks after purchase, and import compliance depends on your own country. Please ask us if anything on the sheet is unclear before you bid.
