Dealer seems to be asking an E500 price.....

Don't agree with his "E500 little brother" statement

A nice version of this car...
headlights can be changed
but black on black with factory installed amg package, 1 owner and only 87k miles, that brings uncommon value.

This dealer is crazy though.

I agree- that AMG kit alone is worth a good chunk of change. Looks to be in good shape. You could maybe ask for $2-3k extra for those factors. Not that much.

Those are like enzo's lights I believe except that Zorro has the chrome/mirrored housing with the smoked lense.

I should go check this car out and personally ask the dealer what he's smoking since they are close to me.

It's like they collected a jumble of tag words, "500E", "AMG", "factory" and put them together to snare searching buyers.

95 e320...sold the rest
I like the head lights actually...I'm not sure why everyone is hatin on them. They're the same as Zorro's, but just not chromed. I like the whole "black" look...except for the corners because they're a little too bright colored for the lights...but that's just me I guess..

can you fix the front spoiler though? it's eurethane not fiberglass. Great looking car though. The fact that the motor was replaced scares me a little.

If I remember right, a previous accident took the life of the AMG front bumper and I believe it has a OE bumper now. So the car has a salvage title.

The dash/center console and rear deck need attention. As componets were ripped from their mounting locations and not cleanly removed.

The factory alarm keeps going off, so something is shorting.

The car is not a real AMG, it is just a 90 300e, with a AMG kit and AMG 17" Monoblock 1's (which have been repaired and rechromed several times at least). The car has seen many owners and does have almost 300k on it.

Originally put together by Scott Whitehead (Innovative Audio) and it had Eibach lowering springs and a momo exhaust. Obivously the custom sound system is gone.

For 5k, the vehicle is over priced. Plus, the seller never did provide me with photos like I asked for.
