It's a bit of a repost and the car is way overpriced

I dont like my rims being "raped" by anything.

"This car comes with 19inch AMG Staggered set raped with brand new tires"

Absolutely gorgeous none the less.

If you truly love these cars and you are willing to spend that kind of money, I don't think it gets any better than that. Thanks for posting, I had never seen that one.

This Mercedes was on E-Bay two weeks ago and it went up to 22,800 but the "Reserve" price was not met... Now I know why
One other interesting fact is that he forgot to mention on Autotrader and E-bay that the car was repainted and was updated with Euro look. One can't stop wondering why he forgot??
The car was originally with US spec head lights etc, so if the car is Import why is with US set up originally?
I don't want to be negative about this but there are too many WHY's for my taste.
If you would like to see more photos please have a look here:

Stunning, but not worth that much at all.

Nice car, I see the owner didn't bother with face lift bumpers though. 2.47:1 rear diff, that is insane and would kill the performance of the 500e, what a shame. Definately looks like a euro, but has US spec climate control, wonder what the story is behind that.

Oh, yea the price, well, he's a dreamer

Golly, Gosh, Gee Whiz..... Those pictures really are fantatstic. What a car!!! I would prefer to believe that it isn't a scam and that it is not a repainted wrecked or salvaged mess. I am not buying, so I can afford to be a dreamer.

It's a 1992...too much stuff doesn't match.
There are a few 500E/E500's that have been available that are lower mileage and with FMBSH for half the price.
One on the West Coast that was the display car for the US auto show introductions.

Yep, they are holding out for 2006. In the future, where the economy is good.

They were asking around 60K for this one but at least it has a rich history ando only 8K miles

http://hatchandsons.com/pages/sales/JB36/

Then there is this beast by renntech which i think they wanted between 45K and 60K for, 465HP !

http://hatchandsons.com/pages/sales/JB21/

Anyway, i just thought e first one i posted was the cleanest 500 i have seen even though it lacks the center armrest and it's rims were forcibly removed of their virginity by some brand new tires . . .
