Saw a 2003 E500 sport at my dealer (sticker price $64k) but I'm in no hurry to trade in - the panoramic roof windows are nice but the body style is ho hum IMHO

Hey Guys,
You sure it was a 2003 E500? I thought that wouldn't be released until sometime in 2003.

RBrenton,
Yup I think it's still 4k for the Sport package. BTW the wheels are only 17" and look like they came off a Dodge Caravan. Looks like Daimler-Chrysler did a group purchase on these

the sport is only 1375 for the e500, and around 4 grand for the e320, because it comes with the air dc. also, there are multiple pics of the sport....you guys were in a cave huh?

E320 - 2003
I saw the E-500 Sport at a local dealership.
There are slight body trim modifications on the lower parts of the car. It's subtle, but nice. There's a small oval "sport" emblem on the front left and right panels (just forward of the door).
The rims are fine. Nothing you would look twice at, but still, sporty. Then again, the standard (US) rims are also very nice.
The speedometer is silver, not black, and the wood is basically dark black-ish.
Overall, it's not a dramatically different car. But, on the E-500, the pricing is such that you almost can't turn it down.

I don't agree about the pricing on a 500 sport. It really comes down to do you want the different rims, different guages, smaller tires, birdseye trim, and the different skirts that comes with the sports package. If not get the E1 package and even save a little money.

Are you confusing the E320 Sport Package price of $3800?

I'm confused. The Sport package on the 500 gets you the body mods PLUS the zenons?
That is a good deal.
Now what does the 320 sport package get you? air what? sure hope it's not air conditioning! but I wouldn't put it past MB to charge extra for A/C.

E55 Kev, that's what I'm saying. If you don't want or like the diffierent wheels, birdseye, etc. you better off getting E1 and saving a few hundred.
