I hate to answer questions with questions, but:
1: Do you really believe that the mileage is true?
2: How badly do you want a 500?
The rest is up to you. It will cost you two arms and one leg to keep that thing up. Throw in another leg if you have to restore it !!

Back on topic....(even though the auction has ended)....
The seller claims that only 700 were made worldwide. I would double check his facts if I were you.
BTW, $20-$25K for a low mileage example is good, if the car/maintenance history checks out.

That would be a good price for an E500...if everything on it was OK. Sometimes cars like that with low miles are more problematic than ones that were driven.
There were 10,500 or so 500E/E500s made between 1990-95..so about 2500 per year. In the USA, only 374 were imported in 1994. Seller sounds like he doesn't know jack about them...which could work in your favor.
If you have another car to drive then get one...you wouldn't want one as a sole mode of transport IMO.

Really? That sounded like an amazing deal to me? Thought those cars where alot more desirable because of the whole porsche thing and 5.0 v8, seems like 38000 is pretty low mileage, anyway just wondering, if current 124 owners arn't to keen on the car should probebly stay away unless just want it for a collectable?

I have watched low miles 500E's go in the mid 20's. A few 50k mile old 1992's have gone for about 23k, but as of late nice cars are pulling slightly less.

this one may be better with such lower mileage and 3 years newer but still...
