i am considering buing an '89 280GE with about 100k miles. i have had a couple of land rovers & jeeps in the past, but am a G rookie and was hoping i could get insight from experienced owners before buying.

- are there specific things (typical problem areas) that i should examine closely before purchasing?

- are parts readily available?

- is general reliability of G's comparable to other benz models?

- how does reliability of G's compare to that of Rovers & Land Cruisers?

thanks in advance.
