that car is beautiful...

however, i dont think anything smaller than an 18in rim belongs on a 500E, let alone a W124..

I agree, I would pretty much do anything for a 500E/E500 like that

That car has been for sale for a LONG time, there are many reasons why, if you research it you will see. Nice looking photos tho.

Don't get carried away.

Not only is the price double what it should be, but this car has been for sale on that site for at least 3 years.

In addition, there are questions about the Limited Slip.

He had another 500E for sale too, a silver one.

Here is a link to a review of the cars, complete with links.

However, don't bother with the 500Ecstasy links, the site is temporarily down.

The GSXR links have all the history and technical info.

that's why it is for sale for so long, because of the high price, i don't know about the diff, but the car we have to admit that it is superbe. i have a 500 e and i can maybe make it the same , but wont be original, and it will cost some $$$$, taht's why i'm saying that i wish i would have it,

I love the pics - car looks fabulous!

Some nice hard to come-by stuff on it

However,

- NOT original
- some questionable mechanicals
- Non-500E spe, regular 124 items substituited
- anyone could recreate it for that price
