How about some photos? How many miles? How much do you want for it? Where in the world is it? We need info man!

BTW, AFAIK the V8 powered W124s, aka 400E/E420 and 500E/E500, don't require a valve body mod to start in first.

Brad is located in Yorba Linda, CA. His asking price was $26,000 last time I emailed him a few months ago. Mileage is 160,000.

IMHO, the price is high for the mileage, but good luck w the sale.

And until I saw the mileage. The seller must be very proud of his car if he thinks its worth that much.

It's a nice rare Benz, but that's too much for it.
I have seen ones around that mileage go for a lot less around here.

500E Signal Rot
All 500e's start in 2nd by design, you don't need a valve body modification for it to start in 1st gear though. Several options exist, modified valve body, W126 1st gear start relay (don't know how to implement this though) or a another 1st start electronic module like the Bergwerks. The 400e/E420 actually is a 2nd gear start vehicle, but MB designed it with a 1st gear start relay, which is controlled by one of the computers. Based on rpm's, the computer triggers the relay which in turns sends a signal the kickdown switch, downshifting the car into 1st gear.

Here are the pictures. I don't know why the seller doesn't link the pictures directly to help the sale.

http://www.classyauto.com/42252

Agreed that the price is way to high. At least he came off his original asking price of $26,000 then $23,000.

Unfortunately, I think he will get between 15k-16k for it due to the high mileage.

Brad Johnson, if you are reading this, I would try to strip the "upgrades" to recoupe your funds then sell the car as close to stock as possible.

I don't mean to undermine your sale. Your car is AWESOME, but just priced high, and if you need to sell it by friday, you might be stuck in a pickle.

As a reference, this has been listed on ebay for less than $10K buy it now, and it still hasnt sold yet. Correction: Item has ended with no bids for $9,995; Highest offer was $8,000
