Overview of the Mercedes-AMG G-Class G63 Manufaktur Edition
This is a 2020 Mercedes-AMG G-Class G63 Manufaktur Edition (chassis code 3BA-463276), first registered in September 2020 (Reiwa 2) and offered at USS Tokyo as lot 75176. It is a left hand drive official dealer import finished in Magno Dark Olive Green, colour code 164, with a 4.0 litre twin turbo petrol V8, a column shifted automatic and four wheel drive. The odometer reads 57,455 kilometres, approximately 35,702 miles. It has an overall grade of 4.5 and an interior grade of B.
The sheet describes it as a first time auction entry, bought from a private owner, a non smoker car and a special edition with the AMG Night Package. For anyone searching for a Mercedes-AMG G-Class G63 Manufaktur Edition from Japan, that combination of a single owner history, a service book and a rare colour is worth a close look.
The Drive Review
The W463A G63 is the one that makes the least sense on paper and the most sense on the road. A square, upright, ladder frame body with three locking differentials is powered by a hand built AMG 4.0 litre biturbo V8 with the turbochargers mounted in the V of the engine. The sound is the headline: a deep, loose burble at idle that turns into a hard, bellowing push, with the side exit exhausts audible from outside. Power is delivered through a nine speed AMG Speedshift automatic, which is quick and smooth in town and decisive when you ask for more.
Against the old G63 the newer car is a different animal. The front axle is now independent with double wishbones and the steering is rack and pinion, so it tracks straight on a motorway rather than needing constant correction. It still feels tall and heavy, and it leans in corners, but it is composed, quick and genuinely comfortable. The cabin is wide, the seating position high and the visibility excellent, which is much of the appeal. The photographed instrument cluster is the digital AMG display, and the sheet notes the AMG Exclusive nappa leather interior, Burmester sound and a glass sliding roof.

Japanese Auction Report Translation
The sheet title is Imported Car Prime Corner. It records overall grade 4.5, interior B, a 4000 cc engine, left hand drive, 4WD, column automatic, automatic air conditioning and five seats. The sales points translate as: bought from a private owner, first time at auction, non smoker car, special edition, AMG Night Package, AMG 22 inch cross spoke alloy wheels, Magno Dark Olive Green paint, AMG Exclusive nappa leather interior in titanium grey and black leather, glass sliding roof and Burmester sound.
The points to note list seat heaters and ventilation, an Alcantara combination steering wheel, AMG red calipers, a 360 degree camera and a genuine front and rear dash cam. The new car service book with warranty booklet is present. The owner's manual, warranty booklet and spare key are marked as sent on separately after the sale, so they are not with the car at auction. The transfer documents expiry date is blank.
The inspector reports: steering wheel and seats scuffed, cabin slightly dirty, wheel scratches, rear spare tyre cover scratched, door mirror scratched, and small scratches and small dents. No engine, gearbox, leak, warning light, rust or accident repair comments appear in the readable report.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The diagram shows only light marks. A1 (small scratch) appears on the front bumper and on the bonnet. A2 (scratch) appears on the left front wing. A1 appears in the door area on both the left and right sides. A mark read as a stone chip (トビ with A) sits at the windscreen, though the sheet reader was not certain of it. A further A1 at the bottom of the drawing indicates a small scratch at the rear, either the bumper or the tailgate and spare cover area, and the exact panel is not certain. There are no dent, repair, replaced panel, rust or corrosion marks on the diagram.
In plain terms, this is a tidy body with the kind of light surface marks expected at 57,000 kilometres, backed by the inspector's note of small dents and scratches to the wheels, spare cover and a mirror. The photographs show a satin finish with the Night Package gloss black trim and bronze toned wheels. Overall it is usable enthusiast condition leaning towards very good, in line with the 4.5 grade.
Interior Condition
The interior is graded B. The inspector notes scuffing on the steering wheel and seats and a slightly dirty cabin, which fits a car that has been driven and used rather than stored. The photographs show a black leather interior with a quilted floor mat, turbine air vents and the console mounted gear selector. The dash photograph shows the digital display with AMG graphics, the odometer figure is not legible, so we rely on the 57,455 km on the sheet. The sheet records a non smoker car.
Japanese Auction Grades
Japanese auction grades run from 1 to 5, with R for repaired cars. A 4.5 indicates a very clean car with only minor cosmetic marks. Interior grade B is a good, average used standard, so wear and light soiling are expected.
Model History
The G-Class began in 1979 as a Mercedes-Benz military and utility vehicle developed with Steyr Puch in Graz. The AMG G63 arrived in 2012 with a 5.5 litre biturbo V8. The second generation W463A, introduced for 2018, was the first major redesign, with a new chassis, independent front suspension and the 4.0 litre V8. The G63 Manufaktur Edition adds exclusive paint, trim and wheel choices through the G manufaktur personalisation programme, which is why colours like this green are sought after.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The G63 is a modern icon rather than a vintage rarity. The boxy shape has barely changed in over four decades, the V8 has a strong reputation and the model holds a place in popular culture. Japan is a notable source because its official dealer cars are usually well documented, the service book is present here, and a non smoker, first auction private owner example with a rare factory colour is hard to find. Demand is global and good low mileage examples are not easy to source, though we do not guarantee future values and this is not presented as an investment.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
On the W463A G63, buyers should look at the air suspension and adaptive damper operation, the transfer case and locking differentials, and the nine speed gearbox's shift quality under load. The biturbo V8 should be checked for leaks, correct cooling and healthy exhaust flap operation. Electronics and the large infotainment screens deserve a test, as do the 360 degree camera and driver assistance functions. Satin and matt finishes need specialist care, as they cannot be polished out if scratched. On this car specifically, check the stone chip noted at the windscreen, the scratched 22 inch wheels, the scuffed seats and steering wheel, and the small dents the inspector mentions. The manual, warranty booklet and spare key are noted as arriving separately, so confirm their delivery.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japanese cars are typically driven gently, serviced by dealers and inspected in a standardised way. This G63 has a dealer service book and a clear grade, giving you a more transparent picture than many private sales. Being left hand drive also suits many export markets.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
Once a car is won, it is deregistered, prepared for export and shipped, then cleared through customs in your country. Rules vary by market, so check your own country's age, emissions and registration requirements before bidding. Autoselecta can advise on the process.
Why Import Through Autoselecta
Autoselecta gives you direct access to Japanese auctions, translated and checked auction sheets, sourcing, bidding assistance, export handling, shipping and import support in your own country, with vehicle tracking where available and clear communication throughout. We do not make unrealistic savings claims; we aim to make the process transparent.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but are still used vehicles. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide, not a mechanical warranty. A high performance car like this G63 may need servicing, maintenance or refurbishment after purchase. Please note the inspector's warnings: scuffed steering wheel and seats, a slightly dirty cabin, scratched wheels, scratched spare tyre cover and door mirror, small scratches and small dents, and the possible stone chips on the windscreen. The owner's manual, warranty booklet and spare key are to be sent separately and are not with the car at auction.
