Overview of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class G400d AMG Line
This 2023 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G400d AMG Line, chassis code 463350, is offered at USS Fukuoka as lot 6535 on 21 October 2026. It carries an overall auction grade of 5, an exterior grade of 5 and an interior grade of A, and shows 18,000 kilometres, approximately 11,185 miles. The 3,000 cc engine is paired with an automatic transmission, and the exterior colour is listed as gray.
A grade 5 on a car this young is the sort of result buyers look for. The photograph shows a clean, square bodied wagon in a dark gray, with AMG Line styling, bronze multispoke alloy wheels, side steps and the upright grille that defines the model. The auction start price is ¥10,000,000. The minimum bid and landed costs are worked out live in the price panel on this page.
The Drive Review
The G-Class is not a car that pretends to be a sports saloon. It sits on a ladder frame with a distinctly upright body, and that shapes everything about how it feels. The driving position is high and commanding, the doors close with the famous heavy clunk and the road presence is unmatched by almost anything else on sale.
The G400d uses the 3.0 litre six cylinder turbodiesel, which is all about torque rather than revs. It pulls smoothly and quietly at low speed, settles into a relaxed cruise and suits long distance touring far better than the shape suggests. The nine speed automatic keeps the engine in its strong mid range. Since the 2018 generation the G-Class has had independent front suspension and more precise steering than the old car, so it is calmer on the motorway while remaining a seriously capable off roader with three locking differentials on the model. Expect a heavy, tall vehicle that leans in corners and rewards a measured pace.
The drive type and fuel are not stated in the auction data for this car. The G400d is a diesel model, and the G-Class is known for its permanent four wheel drive system, but neither is confirmed on the data supplied here.

Factory Features and Equipment
From the photograph, the car shows AMG Line exterior styling, multispoke alloy wheels in a bronze finish, running boards, a roof rail style trim line and LED style round headlamps in the classic housings. The full equipment list, including navigation, leather type, sunroof, keys, books and options, is not confirmed because no auction sheet is available. Buyers should ask Autoselecta for the equipment details before bidding.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
No auction sheet image is available for this car yet, so there is no inspector commentary to translate. This report works only from the data supplied and the single photograph. The grades of 5 overall, 5 exterior and A interior are given in the data. Service history, maintenance books, owner manuals, spare keys, accident repair status and any inspector warnings are not confirmed on an auction sheet at this stage. This report is translated and checked by Autoselecta where a sheet exists, and the sheet should be requested before a bid is placed.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
No damage diagram is available, so no markings can be read or explained. The photograph shows a clean, straight looking body in gray with no obvious dents or scrapes visible at this small size, but a single low resolution front three quarter view cannot confirm panel condition. The exterior grade of 5 indicates a very clean body with little or no notable damage. Overall this looks like a near new, collector level example in terms of grading, though that remains to be verified against the sheet.
Interior Condition
No interior photographs are provided. The interior grade of A points to a very clean cabin, but seat condition, dashboard, trim, smoke or odour notes and the equipment inside are not confirmed.
Japanese Auction Grades
Japanese auction grades run from 1 up to 6 for the overall car, with 5 indicating a very good, low fault vehicle and 6 reserved for near perfect cars. The interior grade is shown as a letter, where A is the best. This car's 5, 5 and A are strong results for a used example.
Model History
The G-Class began life as the Geländewagen, developed in the 1970s with Steyr Puch in Graz for military and off road use, and the civilian car launched in 1979. It stayed visually close to the original for four decades. The W463 chassis code carried it through the long running generations, and the 463350 code seen here belongs to the all new generation introduced for 2018. That car kept the iconic shape but gained a new chassis, independent front suspension, a modern interior and a wider range of engines. The G400d diesel was a later addition to the line, using the 3.0 litre six cylinder turbodiesel.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The G-Class has an unusually long and consistent heritage, with a shape that has barely changed in decades and a reputation for strength. Demand worldwide has stayed firm, and good low mileage examples are sought after. This 2023 car is young, so its appeal is as a premium, nearly new luxury off roader rather than a proven classic. Diesel versions are less common on the Japanese market, which is mostly petrol focused, and that can make a clean G400d interesting for buyers in markets where diesel is preferred. Nothing here is a guarantee of future value, and the car should not be viewed as an investment.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
On the current generation G-Class, check that the full service history is recorded, especially for the diesel emissions system, including the particulate filter and the AdBlue system, as these matter on the six cylinder diesel. Test the many electronic features, the driver assistance sensors and the infotainment, which are complex on a car of this age. Inspect the underbody and the suspension for off road use or wear, and look at the locking differentials if the car has been used heavily. On this car, request the auction sheet to confirm the grade comments, any repaired panels, keys and books. Also confirm that the specification meets the emissions and homologation rules in your own country, as diesel rules differ widely.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japanese cars are usually well kept, low mileage and carefully graded by independent inspectors. A grade 5 G-Class with 18,000 km is the type of vehicle that rewards sourcing at auction, where the condition is documented.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
The process runs from choosing the car and placing a maximum bid, through winning at auction, payment, deregistration and export, then shipping and import clearance in your country. Each market has its own rules on age, emissions and registration, so check yours before bidding.
Why Import Through Autoselecta
Autoselecta gives direct access to Japanese auctions, sheet translation, bidding assistance, vehicle sourcing, export handling, shipping, tracking where available and import support on arrival, with communication throughout. We aim for clear, honest information rather than promises of savings.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but are still used vehicles. Auction sheets are an independent condition guide, not a mechanical warranty. No auction sheet is available for this car yet, so equipment, history, keys and any inspector warnings are not confirmed. Even a young, low mileage car may need servicing or attention after purchase, and the guide to this car should be confirmed against the sheet before bidding.
