SL AMG

I have always been a big fan of the 500E or E500. I would like to hear from you regarding your experience with this amazing car. In my opinion this is one of the best MBs!!!

Ich liebe mein 500E

Doubt you'll find a current or previous owner who doesn't/didn't like theirs. Get one.

i love it. if feels like a totally diffrent car from my old E420. its faster then hell, and it feels like a little race car. i could not be happier with it. and im always getting looks from people with p cars and mbz who know about its history.

it feels totally diffrent from my SL too. diffrent torque curve, but, that might be fromt the renntech

Best Mercedes I have owned to date. Does not have the brute force torque of my Corvette, but its no slouch!

Which is the reason I stopped mods on my 300 like lowering or involved stereo, further restoration etc. I really have been thinking about a '94 500E lately...but it was put off by a new house purchase Nov '04 and upgrades to house...I think about it every time I drive the 300 that's for sure. One day i'll crack and just buy the damn thing.

Thanks for all your input!! I really missed the good old days from MB making quality and solid cars. Do most of you have your cars since new?? It's so hard to find a nice one. I am thinking of replacing my 95 E320 with a E500. The only decent site I know is Autotrader, and most of cars are well over
100k miles. I assume all of you have low miles more like a collectible???

Mine is at 59,000 miles, and I am the third owner. Be persistent and keep looking. There are great examples out there.

The two publications I look to find the best cars, cars I refer to as driven by mercedes "pilots", people that are **** about their cars, need I say more? The mercedes club has a publication called THe Star, loaded w/ private ads w/ good variety of cars. The second is the SL Market Newsletter published by John Olson. While driven by the SL market it has a large section of ads. Lots of low mile cars w/ full service histories etc. Typically you get what you pay for. I would never ever buy a mercedes w/ a history of deferred maintainance. Buy a nice car and you'll have a nice car.
I too will own a 500. That is why I probably won't spend to up-grade my 300CE Sportline, heck, w/ Sportline I already have the 500E seats. They are a definite improvement over the standard 300E seats. I just have to close my eyes and dream. Well, not while I'm driving!
