Description:

A daily driver ready for you to take over. This is your opportunity to own effectively a German muscle car for a tiny fraction (1/13th) of the original sale price. Outstanding performance and luxury, 300 horsepower all leather and wood interior.



 2005 Mercedes Benz E500 (4 door)

5.0L V8 RWD, 146K miles.

Obsidian black exterior, black all leather interior.



 Good:

* Engine: Has been bulletproof, no issues, just passed emissions inspection. Oil change 500 miles ago. Fresh primary battery, rear battery replaced last year.

* Exterior: Paint and trim all in great shape

* Interior: Great shape, no rips or tears in leather, very fresh and clean

* Tires: Brand new tires in the front, okay tread still on the rears. Extra full size wheel and regular tire with purchase. Tire Snow Chains thrown in too.

* Transmission/clutch: Transmission fluid flushed and replaced 20K miles ago, working well.

* Brakes: Brakes replaced last year

* Heater and AC: Working well, blows ice cold in summer and hot in winter, heated seats working well.

* Have full maintenance history from 67K until now, all regular oil changes and services performed. All the records will be handed over to you as part of purchase.

* Legal & Ready to go, registered and inspected through Jan 2022.

* Clean title in hand ready to hand over when you hand over the cash or cashiers check

* Comes with all original manuals, spare tire, jack, etc.



 

 Not so good:

* Suspension: The right rear air strut has a slow leak in it, falls down after a few hours. Will need to be replaced at some point but at the moment it just pumps back up within 20 seconds of turning the car over. Control arm bushings a bit worn too.

* Electrical: Some of the electrical luxuries don't operate anymore (overhead light inside, rear window sunshade, sunroof opener). It could be just be fuse issues, but I don't have inclination to dig around in the electricals or the desire to pay someone a ton of money to figure it out. Magnetic overhead light comes with the car so you still have a dome light. Error message about Coolant (coolant was serviced 6 months ago and is great but the sensor is off apparently).

* Wear and tear: Some of the rubber elements (cooling system hoses, brake hydraulic lines, breather hoses) are original to manufacture and somewhat worn.

* Drive axle Boot: the rubber for drive axle (the boot) has a tear in it which will need replacing eventually

* Spark plugs: Probably should replace spark plugs next 10K, somewhat worn

* History: Car was totaled by the the insurance company back in 2018, only due to cost of repair (replacing two wheels, two tires, two air struts and fixing dent in hood and front fascia). No frame damage, no collision with other vehicle, all fixed good as new out of pocket. After repairs has been just fine.



 I would like to keep it, but I need something less interesting and less German to drive the family around in without looming fear of unplanned expensive repairs. Please message me directly for extra pictures or any unanswered questions.
