Hello

I am thinking seriosly about buying this model.

Does anybody know anything about it?

Example. Power? Top speed? Acceleration? Is it built by Mercedes or is the AMG stuff applyed after? Anything really. Thanks

CDP

care to show us which one you're planning to buy so we can further assist you?

He must be talking euro model.

dhnmdst, where are you located? If you supply the VIN, more details may be obtained for you.

Be ready to pay at least 15k. A guy had a "modified" by AMG sportline that he would not let go for less than 12k. If you get a true AMG, which is damn hard by the way, it will put a whole in your bank account.

I am in Denmark. My problem is that i only know that the car should have 3,4 litre 272 hp? There is printed AMG in the speedometer.

Buy it, drive it, love it forever!

Eliot

Interesting... these show up in the EPC but I didn't know what it was. 3.4 liter M103 with first generation AMG kit? You should note that a previous owner changed the hood and the headlamps at some point. That is not the original look of the vehicle. The engine should run reliably though and it wouldn't be more expensive to maintain than your average 300E.

Parshman

Not true I would go less. Um in 92 in europe you could have the m104 3.2 liter engine modified to a 3.4 liter AMG engine which would have the same body kit as my car,suspension, and interior. My car is for sale still for 10K from my pops he bought it from me just to help me out, now its in the garage. If you get the vin it should pull up the info for you, the wheels are not originals I know that one for a fact on the car your showing because I have the upgrade booklet for those years!

Is your father willing to let the car go for less than 10k?

Parshman

No.......your shooting in the dark for this car my friend!

Jim's500E

I know you could buy a decent 500E for that same kind of money....and it'll be a whole lot faster.

Neat car though...not a whole lot of them to choose from I'm sure. Any history/records on it available?

Garfunkle_W124

Like I said, if you have the car when I am ready to buy another, consider it sold.

Parshman

It'll probably be around my friend. Where can I get a 500E not miled to death for 10K. Because I'll buy it on the spot.

2PHAST

I wouldn't say I am "shooting in the dark", its going to be difficult to find a buyer at that price. If the vehicle was in Seattle and I could see it, I might be a bit more flexible, the pictures you sent me were not that great.

As for a 500e for 10k, well, that might be a bit of a stretch to find, at least in good condition, probably 13 to 17 grand would be a better range to be looking in.

I already own a 500e BTW Jim.

Parshman

Maybe Jim was talking about Garfunkle's comment of paying atleast 15K. Even then you'd have to find someone that was familiar with the 500E. I've seen them advertised for like 20K.

dhnmdst

Full history. I'm gonna see it again tomorrow :-)))

Anyone here know how fast it goes etc?

RBYCC

Depends on what engine...could be anything from a 3.2, 3.4 or even 3.6 liter.
These were all AMG variants in the early cars.

Post engine details and I could probably post performance figures.

Eliot

Did they offer the 3.6 before 94?

I'd imagine the performance figures are in line or at least close to the 400E/E420 with a bit less torque. Depending on the rear axle ratio it may be quicker off the line.

RBYCC

The 3.6 E36 was available in 1993 ....276HP? / 284LBFT Torque, 0-60 in 6.8 seconds.
In 1992 AMG offered the E34 @ 246HP / 268LBft.

Difficulty with identifying any AMG car is that they could build a "one off" to the owners spec.
They even built a "wide body" 320CE ( 3.2L M103-12V 245HP / 239lbft Torque, 10.1:1 CR ) in 1990.

Still not sure what he is looking at !!!!

dhnmdst

3.4 272hp but how fast?

RBYCC

Most of the published data was high six second 0-60 times, about one to one and one half seconds faster then stock, but much faster by four + seconds to one hundred.

The stock engines, especially the M103 had strong low end torque, but gave up a bit to an AMG modified engine at the high end.
The AMG engines breathed a lot better then the stock M103/M104.

Parshman

who knows it maybe just like my car with the 3.0L 24v m104 engine like the 300ce
